RED RUBBER BALL

I should have known
7   5    -5     6
You’d bid me farewell.
6     -6  6   -5  6
There’s a lesson to be
7       7 7   7  5  -5
Learned from this
6       6      6
And I learned it very well.
6   6    -6   -6 -7 7   -7
Now I know you’re not the only
-9 -9   -9  8     -8   -8 9  -9
Star-fish in the sea.
8    -9    8  -8  7
If I never hear your name again
5  5 -5-5  -5    -5   6   6   6

6    -6  -6   -6  -6 -7

Yeah, the worst is over
-8    -8   -8   8  -9 8
Now the morning sun is shining
-8   7  -7  -7  -7  7    -7 -6
Like a Red Rubber Ball
6   -6  -6  6  -5   5
repeat
