Life’s a long song   (midi)

A G A G - E - A

1. When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new day,

G A G - E

and you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say.

C G D E

Well, don't you fret, don't you fear, I will give you good cheer.

A - G A - G A - G

Life's a long song. Life's a long song. Life's a long song,

D E

if you wait then your plate I will fill.

A G A G - E - A

2. As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day,

G A G - E

and the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room, you struggle on your way.

C G D E

Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry, lick the dust from your eye.

A - G A - G A - G

Life's a long song. Life's a long song. Life's a long song,

D E

we will meet in the sweet light of dawn.

A G A G - E - A

3. As the Baker Street train spills your pain all over your new dress,

G A G - E

and the symphony sounds underground put you under duress.

C G D E

Well don't you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheels.

A - G A - G A - G

Life's a long song. Life's a long song. Life's a long song,

D E

but the tune ends too soon for us all.

+ instrumental = verse 3, lines 1 – 4 +

D E - A

but the tune ends too soon for us all.

(Jethro Tull)
