Track 16 Little Aggravations
https://soundclick.com/r/s8gwmh
Intro riff |A run down|G D G D|A boogie |A
Life's Little aggravations Are vexatious to the spirit | A bgy |A bgy |
But like the grit in an oyster They can lead you to a pearl | G1/4 |D 8ths |
Even minor approbation Can push you to the limit | A bgy |A bgy |
But without a little chiding It's too easy in the world | G1/4 |D 8ths |
We can sink into indolence And self satisfaction |F#m ^G|F#m^G|
If we stay within our comfort zone | Dbgy |A bgy |
Or we can rail at restriction and push out the boundaries |F#m ^G|F#m^G|
And find that our spirit has grown | Bm |A stop| and into riff
So for every problem, seize the opportunity to
change
For every setback there's a chance for you to
Rearrange your life
Certainty ‘s a prison and at times you must break
Free
At times you need excision If you hope to be all you can
Be all you can be
What's it all for If not to stretch and |Bm |Bm |
grow |A |A |
Who’s counting score When there's so much |Bm |Bm |
left out there, so much more to know |A |G A | A | riff
Life's Little aggravations Are vexatious to the spirit | A bgy |A bgy |
But like the grit in an oyster They can lead you to a pearl | G1/4 |D 8ths |
If your life’s to placid then it takes a little acid* | A bgy |A bgy |
To keep you from stagnating in a very boring world | G1/4 |D 8ths |
People may frown and talk of settling down
Telling you to act your age
But nothing should perturb ya like brain death in suburbia
It’s never too late for you to turn that page
Riff then coda –
Never too late to turn that page |A |D long |D stop
*in the traditional meaning sharp/sour/vinegar etc
