LKG 10 Jolly

 

intro

You’re feeling blue, I can tell by your face             |E    C#m         |F#m   B          |

What can you do about the state of the human race        |C#m G#         |F#m  B           |

What’s the point of living if you’re not having fun           |E   Emaj7       |A                     |

You’ll be forgiven if you jump that starting gun               |F#                   |A  A#   B         |B7

 

Chorus(1)

Everything that you do should make you feel jolly           |E      B7           |E                     |

You've a life to swallow                                                        |A         G#       |F#mA     A  B |

So why'd you wallow in melancholy

 

Verse 1

There's a breeze up in the tree tops                                    |A   F#m          |E       E7          |

Climb up let it ruffle your hair

Joy'll be finding where you've been hiding                       |A      F#          |B  AEB7          |

If you get up there and blow away your cares

All the daisies get the message                                           |A  F#m           |E       E7          |

Open up for the light of the sun

Take that as a presage                                                          |A      F#          |B  AA#B B7    |

For all the happiness that's still to come

 

Chorus(2)

Everything that you do should make you feel jolly           |E      B7           |E                     |

I'll help you find a way if you'll allow                                 |A    G# A A#  |B                     |

Staying down in the dumps is nothing but folly               |E      G#          |A       C           |

So come along with me I’ll show you how                        |E      B7           |E                     |

 

Verse 2

There are rabbits in the Warren,

Foxes in their den

What a Scotsmen keeps in his sporran

Should stay beyond our ken

Keep your emotions upbeat

Lace your day with fun

Ready now with both feet

Your future has begun
