Goin` Down to Laurel — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

Capo on 2nd fret

[C-G-Dmin-G] Intro: play 3 times (1 harmonica + 2 guitar)

Well [C] everybody here, [G] seems to like to laugh

[Dmin] Look at Johnny jivin` across [G] the floor

He [C] can play the fool and [G] make a few mistakes,

[Dmin] But all the same he`ll never be [G] a bore

I`m [C] glad to be so young [G] talkin` with my tongue

[D min] Glad to be so careless in [G] my way

[C] Glad to take a chance [G] and play against the odds

[D min] Glad to be so crazy in [G] my day



Well [C] I`m goin` [C/B] down to [A min] Laurel

[G] It`s a dirty stinkin` town [Am] yea

[F] But me I know [G] exactly what I`m going to [Am] find

[C-G-A min] [D min] Little girl [E min] I`m goin` to see

[Am] She is a fool for [C] lovin` me

[F] But she`s in love [G] and love`s a funny state of [C] mind

Yes it is (on second chorus)

Well [C] what was that you said [G] when you had a tear

[D min]Rolling down your cheek the [G] other night

[C] I couldn`t catch it all [G] there`s something going wrong

[D min]I hope you got it straightened out [G] alright

[C] Everything`s so loud [G]and everything`s so fast

[D min]I here your brother married once [G]again

Yea [C] best of luck and all and [G] try to have some fun

[D min]They tell me this great life can always [G] end

CHORUS

harmonica theme again: [C-G-D min-G]

I`m [C] smilin` from a car, I`m [G] goin` for a drive

[D min]Feel the whistle blowin` breeze gone [G]flying by

[C] Mirror`s on the moon, [G] echo in the sun

[D min] See just a touch of madness [G]in my eye

[C]Please don`t mention rain, [G] please don`t talk of trains

[D min]Please don`t mention buildings burning [G]down

[C]Everybody here seems [G] to like to laugh

[D min] Either step in time or just don`t hang [G] around

CHORUS

harmonica theme again: [C-G-D min-G]
