Subject: Jimmy Buffett "Bend a Little"
@SONG Bend a Little
By: Jimmy Buffett, Buzz Cason
1971
[intro: ]
[tab]
Evil, it s been here all along[/tab]
[tab]
Good things, they just seem to have come and gone[/tab]
[tab]
In my life I have seen so much go wrong[/tab]
[tab]
And there s only one way left for us to get along[/tab]
Chorus:
[tab]
You got to bend a little one way or the other[/tab]
[tab]
You got to leave your mind open to discover[/tab]
[tab]
Seems I ve been fightin it all along[/tab]
[tab]
You got to bend a little no matter which side you re on[/tab]
E (3rd time play Bb?)
Or soon you ll be gone
Papers, they print it every day
Housewife, wraps the garbage then throws it away
I don t guess she thinks they have that much to say
But when the time is right she ll be the lady with so much to pay
Repeat chorus:
History, it teaches much too well
Nations, had to rise up before they fell
And my eyes see the story they re tryin to tell
And tonight I think I heard the final toll of the bell
Repeat chorus
[tab]
Seems I ve been fightin it all along[/tab]
[tab]
I ve been a fightin and a fightin [/tab]
Got to bend a little no matter which side you re on
It s a long and and dirty battle
It seems I ve been fightin it all along
I ve been a tearin and a pullin
Got a bend a little no matter which side you re on
Yes I know cause
It seems I ve been fightin it all along
I ve been a punchin and a gougin
And it seems no matter which side you re on
I ve been a tearin and a rippin and
It seems I ve been fightin it all along
It don t matter cause you know you
Got a bend a little no matter which side you re on
You got to bend a little backwards
Cause it seems I ve been fightin it all along
Cause it seems I ve been fightin ...
You got to bend a little no matter which side you re on
