(Bass Run - Single notes: E F# G)
The old cat on the roof
(Bass Run - Single notes: A B C)
he could stand a little push
(Bass Run - Single notes: C B A)
cause he s got nine good lives to live
(Bass Run - Single notes: D-C-B-A)
But like my Mama said
you only live till your dead
and you got to give and give and give
Thereâs a pebble in the pond
rollinâ on and on
Makinâ waves and tides and ripples and rings
Thereâs a leaf in the wind
that don t know where to end
chasinâ days and ways and wishes and dreams
(Bass Run - Single notes: C B A)
CHORUS
Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun
singinâ rain and pain on he who hesitates
but it ll shine when it shines
you might think I m wastinâ time
but I m just a good old boy that s learned to wait
Whippoorwill s in the Dawn
Pretty soon he ll be gone
and he s got one good song to sing
But like my Daddy said
It s in your heart not your head
and you got to sing and sing and sing
Thereâs a window in the wall
looking out on it all
leavinâ fears and tears and troubles alone
Thereâs a fire in the stove
keepinâ out the cold
warminâ wine and winters and babies and homes
CHORUS
Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun
singinâ rain and pain on he who hesitates
but it ll shine when it shines
you might think I m wastinâ time
but I m just a good old boy that s learned to wait
yes I m just a good old boy that s learned to wait
End
// Use the bass runs throughout the song except in the Chorus
Cheers!
