Tryin' to remember a happier day

Oh boy oh boy

[Verse 3]

Fill our lungs good every day

That's how I am able to say

Welcome here today

[Verse 9]
D       Bm7        Em         Em7

But just like children we'll play and play

'Cause we put our brains away

Tire tracks most every day
D         F#m7     G        Gm
A leather belt got in their way

Open a restaurant so far away

   Some day

[Verse 14]
D              Bm7        Em    Em7
I sit here and sing in my studio
A         A7     D
Watch the people come and go
D        F#m7             G       Gm
Tell me 'bout things that I don't know

In my studio

[Verse 15]

Prettiest things that you've ever seen

The lights are soft and green

[Verse 16]

Oh I love my record collection

No time now for dull reflection

I watched the American election

[Verse 17]
D     Bm7  Em           Em7
I was in a bad condition
A           A7      D
Thought I'd seen an apparition
D      F#m7        G   Gm
All it was was the electrician
D        A       D     A
Rub his lamp and wishin'

[Verse 18]
D          Bm7     Em           Em7
Grabbed my rod and I went fishin'
A      A7               D
Then I watched Harper's delicate condition
D      F#m7      G   Gm
Then I killed my electrician
D        A       D     A
'Cause he didn't want to go fishin'

[Verse 19]

And then there's no rain

Community clubs were my forte once
A          A7   D
Played for nothin' like a dunce

Now I'm not a dunce

[Verse 21]
D       Bm7            Em             Em7
I gotta go 'cause I've stayed too long
A      A7              D
Luxton School prompted this old song
D          F#m7          G     Gm
The reverb helps spur my head along
D      A           D
When I make up new songs
