TO TRY FOR THE SUN

 

 6    6   6  6  -5  5 -4 -4 

We stood in the windy ci-ty   

-5  -5 5   -4  4  4

the gupsy boy and I.

 

 6   6    6  6    -5    5  5   -4 -4   

We slept on the breeze in the midnight

 

 -5  -5   -5   -5  5    -4   4 -3    4

with the rain droppin tears in our eyes

 

Refrain: 

-5   -5   -5  5 -4  5   5   

And who’s going be the one,  

 

 5   -5   -5  5  -4    4  -4  5

the safe was no good what we done

 

-5 -5 -5 -5   5 -4  -4   5    5

I dare a man to say I’m too young,  

 

 5 -5   -5    5 -4   4  -3   4

or I‘m goin’ to try for the sun.

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
