( bass run – single notes : E F# G )
G
the old cat on the roof
( bass run – single notes : A B C )
C
he can stand a little push
( bass run – single notes : C B A )
A D G
cause he’s got nine good lives to live
( bass run – single notes : D – C – B – A )
G
but like my mama said
C
you only live till your dead
A D G
and you got to give and give and give
G
theres a pebble in the pond
C
rollin on and on
A D G
makin waves and tides and ripples and rings
G
theres a leaf in the wind
C
that don’t know where to end
A D G
chasin days and ways and wishes and dreams
( bass run – single notes : C B A )
chorus
D G
seems like everyone is out , looking for the sun
C G D
singin rain and pain on he who hesitates
D
but it’ll shine when it shines
G
you might think i’m wastin time
C D G
but i’m just a good old boy that’s learned to wait
G
whippoorwill’s in the dawn
C
pretty soon he’ll be gone
A D G
and he’s got one good song to sing
G
but like my Daddy said
C
it’s in your heart not your head
A D G
and you got to sing and sing and sing
G
theres a window in the wall
C
looking out on it all
A D G
leavin fears and tears and troubles alone
G
theres a fire in the stove
C
keepin out the cold
A D G
warmin wine and winters and babies and homes
chorus
D G
seems like everyone is out , looking for the sun
C G D
singin rain and pain on he who hesitates
D
but it’ll shine when it shines
G
you might think i’m wastin time
C D G
but i’m just a good old boy that’s learned to wait
C D G
yes i’m just a good old boy that’s learned to wait
