New Year Song

new year song – hey rosetta
a cup of kindness yet

standard tuning

saw this wasn’t tabbed , and i couldn’t get through a holiday season without it it .
so here you go – steve pope

G D
lend me your walking stick
C
and i lean on it
Am C G
and i walk on out through the snow bound yard

G D
past the neighbours on the lawn
C
drinking last year out
Am C G
i leave this town , cut the year off clear

G D
cauterized by leaving
C Am C
sick and tired of living last year
G D C
roll out the tarmac and baptize the air craft
Am C
escaping loss and push me off

G D
the cold can bleach us out
C
and freeze our doubt
Am C G
and all that you knew becomes muffled and mute

G D
but i’m done with it
C
all this standing stiff
Am C G
when i move my mouth only snow comes out

G D
euthanized by whiteness
C Am C
but i’ll arise despite this last year
G D C
so roll out the tarmac and baptize the aircraft
C Am C
escaping loss and push me off

instrumental

G D
should old acquaintance be forgot
Em C
and never brought to mind
G D
should acquaintance be forgot
Em C G
and auld lang syne

G D
for auld lang syne , my dear
Em C
for auld lang syne
G D
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet
Em C G
for auld lang syne
