G
The old cat on the roof
C
He can stand a little push
Am7 D G
Cause he's got nine good lives to live
(Bass Run - Single notes: D-C-B-A)
G
But like my Mama said
C
You only live till your'e dead
Am D G
And you got to give and give and give
(Repeat Bass Run--after every other stanza as well)
There's a peble int the pond
Going on and on
Makng waves and tides and riplles and rain
There's a leaf in the wind
The don't know were to end
Chasing days and ways an wishes and dreams
D G
Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun
C G D
Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates
D
But it'll shine when it shines
G
You might think I'm wasting time
C D G
But I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
G
Wipperwil's in the Dawn
C
Pretty soon he'll be gone
Am7 D G
But he's got one good song to sing
G
Like my Daddy said
C
It's in your heart not your head
Am7 D D
So you'e got to sing and sing and sing
G
Theres a window in the wall
C
Looking out on it all
Am7 D G
Chasing fears and tears and troubles alone
G
Theres a fire in the stove
