DCG 4x
DCDCAA7
When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new day,
DCDCAA7
and you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say,
FC
well, don't you fret, don't you fear,
GAA7
I will give you good cheer.
DCG
Life's a long song.
DCG
Life's a long song.
DC
Life's a long song.
GA
If you wait then your plate I will fill.
DCDCAA7
As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day,
DCD
and the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room,
CAA7
you struggle on your way.
FC
Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry,
GAA7
lick the dust from your eye.

Life's a long song.

GAA7
We will meet in the sweet light of dawn.
DCDCAA7
As the Baker Street train spills your pain all over your new dress,
DCDCAA7
and the symphony sounds underground put you under duress,
FCGAA7
well don't you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheel.
