Easy Come, Easy Go

Another jazzy song with a more straightforward chorus.

It must have been born on a dark night somewhere in India, but once you've got a couple of lines I find songs just go where they want to go ...

ROR 15 Easy come, easy go
Esus4 E G#m7
Black night
F#m7
With a smattering of stars
Esus4 E G#m7
Sit tight
F#m7
With your brandy and cigar
C#m7 Bm7
If you weren't so pernickety
Am7 Gm7
There’re plenty places you could be
F
You get no sympathy from me
E7
Your obstinacy jars

Let down By a woman once again
Deep frown Will the torment never end
As day the night will follow
If you decline to wallow
Why not take a bite and swallow
This advice from an old friend

(E) A
Easy come, easy go
F#m E
That's the only way to make those good times flow
D A
It's the great philosophy that happy folks know
E
Easy come, easy go
A
Easy come, easy go
F#m E
Through the ages all the histories show
D A
It's the thing that keeps the whole damn show on the road
E
So just shake of that load
D E A
Easy come, easy go

Bears fall Then the bulls are on the rise
Luck stalls Then a pleasant surprise
Takes you in new directions
So avoid that introspection
It's there for your collection
Some forthcoming prize
ECEG When a storm comes let it blow Rise above all the fuss below ECEG
ECEG Through the ages all the histories show It’s what keeps that whole damn show on the road So just shake off that Load EECG EECG EECG EECG
