[C]
I often sit alone up in a tree
[C]
waving to the ones that wave at me
| D | [ch]G5/D[/ch] |
[C] [E]
I think well just how stupid can they be
| Dm | [ch]Ddim/G#[/ch] |
[G7] [G] [C]
waving to a man up in a tree
[C]
what they don't know is I am counting them
[C]
I even count the ladies and the men
| D | [ch]G5/D[/ch] |
[C] [E]
I put the numbers in my little book
| Dm | [ch]Ddim/G#[/ch] |
[G7] [G] [C]
and only me can ever have a look
[F] [Em]
all I ask is a piece of mind
[G7] [C]
which I lost somewhere down amongst the mess
[D]
all I want is for people to be kind
[Dm] [G]
and walk slower to be counted when they pass
| C | D | [ch]G5/D[/ch] |
[C] [E]
I think well just how stupid can they be
| Dm | [ch]Ddim/G#[/ch] |
[G7] [G] [C]
waving to a man up in a tree
[C]
I know that I will have to stop my fun
[C]
when I meet a girl who I can not count on
| D | [ch]G5/D[/ch] |
[C] [E]
maybe marry her and happy we would be
| Dm | [ch]Ddim/G#[/ch] |
[G7] [G] [C]
not counting but just sitting up a tree
[C] [E]
I put the numbers in my little book
| Dm | [ch]Ddim/G#[/ch] |
[G7] [G] [C]
and only me can ever have a look
[C] [E]
I think well just how stupid can they be
