Lyrics
Capo fret 3 [live version, ferrara, italy, 1998]
[A min] poor ole surrender [g] mimosa, fin'ly burnt out by the [a min] sun
I feel pretty burnt [c] out myself
When the [g] long, hot summer is [a min] done
[A min] summertime's long been my [g] fav'rite, now I can't grab it no [a min] more
Can't find no time for [c] a fish on the line
Or that [g] swing in the old [a min] sycamore
I'm in such a [f] hurry now
It [c] starts to [g] worry me
Stop an' smell the roses?
[A min] baby I can't hardly see
[F] no, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be, but
[G] I've got so much [a min] responsibility
Baby, you know how I'm [g] working, sorry I'm busy so [a min] much
Sorry those days when the [c] world went our way
Are so [g] hard to return to [a min] an'touch
Maybe our future looks [g] brighter, maybe our ship will come [a min] in
Maybe these years an'these [c] muletrain careers
Will be [g] things we wont think about [a min] then
But
I'm in such a [f] hurry now
It [c] starts to worry [g] me
Stop an' smell the roses?
[A min] baby I can't hardly see
[F] no, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be, but
[G] I've got so much [a min] responsibility
[F] competition's heavy on a hard line wreckin'crew
[A min] the good ones never leave an'still
There's always some one new
[F] pressure comes down hard up on a top notch rivet team
[G] we don't get time to pace ourselves
We don't stand around and [a min] dream
Poor ole surrender [g] mimosa, fin'ly burnt out by the [a min] heat
I feel pretty burnt [c] out myself
When I [g] make that ole turn down [a min] our street
Summertime's long been my [g] fav'rite, now it's ole autumn [a min] I love
Summertime fun on some [c] beach in the sun
Is not [g] somethin' I'm seein' much [a min] of
I'm in such a [f] hurry now
It [c] starts to worry [g] me
Stop an' smell the roses?
[A min] baby I can't hardly see
[F] no, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be, but
[G] I've got so much [a min] responsibility
Hints:
Forefinger and small finger 'work' on 5th string throughout the song;
