Caroline Herring - The Dozens
CAPO: 4th Fret
I had a few more Cquestions
I never Gknew to ask
You were feeling downFhearted
The last time we Cparted
With the shock of the white hair
Life has changed a Glot you know
And I'm kind of Fscared of that
It bottoms out in Cseconds flat
You said you had a good friend
He died so Gneedlessly
Knocked over by a Fgarbage truck
They threw him down, then they Cpicked him up
And your son was back home again
Your little boy and his Gchildren
He's fighting off a Fmean disease
That's killing off his Cfaculties
CHORUS:
GTell me a little Cjoke
GLet's play the CdoEmzens F
Say something about my Cmama
In a veiled quadrille Ground
I'm just a Cwhite girl
GFrom a segreCgaEmted Ftown
And I'm looking for some Canswers
That I Ghaven't Cfound
I remember Memphis
Like it was Gyesterday
And a Ford station Fwagon
So full of us, it was Cdragging
With your books in our grasping hands
We heard you speak, we Gmade our plans
To hoist the flag and Frule the world
All the hopes we Chad unfurled
CHORUS:
GTell me a little Cjoke
GLet's play the CdoEmzens F
Say something about my Cmama
In a veiled quadrille Ground
I'm just a Cwhite girl
GFrom a segreCgaEmted Ftown
And I'm looking for some Canswers
That I Ghaven't Cfound
BRIDGE:
GI want to be Fjust like Cyou
GI want to love Efirst, I Cdo
Look Fpeople in the eye
CMake them feel good
FThen I'll make them think
DmJust like Gyou would
Y'all were off on a Cnight stroll
Down the capitol Gboulevards
You were emboldening aFnother son
Of this grand Cnation
I would vote for you for president
But you're floating with the Gbutterflies
Soaring with the Fseagulls
Or the eagle as he Ctakes the skies
Let's eat some democratic soup
And Eastern GMarket cheese
Meals with you and CorFnelia
Were my most precious Cmemories
I don't know what the hell to do
Please give me a Glittle tap
Tell me I can Ftake it
That I won't bottom out in Cseconds flat
