E (root a string)      F#
the gentleman's in the lane
E                     C
spinning his hat on a cane
         A              C
stepping out, out for a change
             D7                     Em  C  
good morning all, it's a beautiful day

the general's are winning a war
seemed suicidal before
you come along, now
i'll protect you long as you stay

E  F#
 L   A

C
morning had to come
       D7
I'd be walking in the sun
G             A
living in the day
         C                                      E
but last night i was about to throw it all away

REPEAT RIFF

if patience started a band
i'd be her biggest fan
look at me, i'm talking to you
i don't want the lead in your play

the star's just a part of the scene
the gentleman in green
paying off out on the street
i can't go home, it's not on my way

la
things i'd never done, cars parked in the sun
living in the day
but last night i was about to throw it all away
RIFF 2:
E|-0-0-2---0-2-3-5
last night i was about to throw it all away
REPEAT RIFF 2
last night i was about to throw it all away
REPEAT RIFF 2
last night i was about to throw it all 
   E
