Frank Sinatra - Cycles

writer ( s ) : gayle caldwell

verse 1
A E
so i’m down and so i’m out
D E
but so are many others
A E
so i feel like tryin’ to hide
D E E7
my head ’neath these covers
D A
life is like the seasons
G E
after winter comes the spring
A E
so i’ll keep this smile awhile
D E A
and see what tomorrow brings

verse 2
A E
i’ve been told and i believe
D E
that life is meant for livin’
A E
and even when my chips are low
D E E7
there’s still some left for givin’
D A
i’ve been many places
G E
maybe not as far as you
A E
so i think i’ll stay awhile
D E A A7
and see if some dreams come true

bridge
D A
there isn’t much that i have learned
D A
through all my foolish years
D A F#m
except that life keeps runnin’ in cycles
B7 E
first there’s laughter , then those tears

verse 3 ( play as the 1st one )
but i’ll keep my head up high
although i’m kinda tired
my gal just up and left last week
friday i got fired
you know it’s almost funny
but things can’t get worse than now
so i’ll keep on tryin’ to sing
but please , just don’t ask me how
