11 Checking out (3.20)
Another folky guitar/piano song with an acoustic lead... and another ode to a simple life in the wilds... (but not necessarily all of the time...) Mary Davies on piano again.
Intro: (B-C A° G#7 G7)2
A° C C7
Checking out, no more hanging round the pool
F F#° A° C°
No doubt, you might think I’m some kind of fool
C A G
Gonna find me a place to lie neath the trees
B C F#7 G
And watch that lazy river take my troubles from me
Checking out, say goodbye to luxury
Don’t shout , I know just what you’re gonna say
It may seem fine whiles rhe sun shines on
B C G#7 G C
But what’re’ya gonna do when all that sun shine’s gone?
F
Well maybe I’m just a big daydreamer
C F C
Thinking things’ll turn out fine
F
But why should I be a full time schemer
D F# G
When life goes on without us all the time
Checking out, heading for the simple life
Checking out, say goodbye to all that trouble and strife
So baby if you want to be free
Why don’t you just check out with me
