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
