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              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 dead
A              D                 G          
and you got to give and give and give


G
There?s a pebble in the pond
C
rollin? on and on
A                D                     G
Makin? waves and tides and ripples and rings

G
There?s a leaf in the wind
C
that don't know where to end
A                D                   G
chasin? days and ways and wishes and dreams
(Bass Run - Single notes: C B A )

CHORUS

D                           G
Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun
        C                G            D
singin? rain and pain on he who hesitates
D
but it'll shine when it shines
          G
you might think I'm wastin? time
        C               D                     G
but I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait

G
Whippoorwill's in the Dawn
C
Pretty soon he'll be gone
A            D                G
and he's got one good song to sing


G
But like my Daddy said
C
It's in your heart not your head
A              D                 G
and you got to sing and sing and sing


G
There?s a window in the wall
C
looking out on it all
A             D                      G
leavin? fears and tears and troubles alone

G
There?s a fire in the stove
C
keepin? out the cold
A              D                        G
warmin? wine and winters and babies and homes



CHORUS

D                           G
Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun
        C                 G           D
singin? rain and pain on he who hesitates
D
but it'll shine when it shines
          G
you might think I'm wastin? time
        C               D                     G
but I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
        C               D                     G
yes I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
