[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]cause he's got [D]nine good lives to [G]live
(Bass Run - Single notes: D-C-B-A)
[G]But like my Mama said
[C]you only live till your dead
[A]and you got to [D]give and give and [G]give
[G]There?s a pebble in the pond
[C]rollin? on and on
[A]Makin? waves and [D]tides and ripples and [G]rings
[G]There?s a leaf in the wind
[C]that don't know where to end
[A]chasin? days and [D]ways and wishes and [G]dreams
(Bass Run - Single notes: C B A)
CHORUS
[D]Seems like everyone is out, [G]looking for the sun
singin? [C]rain and pain on [G]he who hesita[D]tes
[D]but it'll shine when it shines
you might [G]think I'm wastin? time
but I'm [C]just a good old [D]boy that's learned to [G]wait
[G]Whippoorwill's in the Dawn
[C]Pretty soon he'll be gone
[A]and he's got [D]one good song to [G]sing
[G]But like my Daddy said
[C]It's in your heart not your head
[A]and you got to [D]sing and sing and [G]sing
[G]There?s a window in the wall
[C]looking out on it all
[A]leavin? fears [D]and tears and troubles [G]alone
[G]There?s a fire in the stove
[C]keepin? out the cold
[A]warmin? wine an[D]d winters and babies and [G]homes
CHORUS
[D]Seems like everyone is out, [G]looking for the sun
singin? [C]rain and pain on h[G]e who hesita[D]tes
[D]but it'll shine when it shines
you might [G]think I'm wastin? time
but I'm [C]just a good old [D]boy that's learned to [G]wait
yes I'm [C]just a good old [D]boy that's learned to [G]wait
