NOTES:

OK, this was a difficult one, and a song that I couldn’t figure out correctly without a little help (OK,A LOT OF HELP!!!) What threw me was the alternate tuning Cathy used; then the chord configurations with the alternate tuning!

 

Also, just to make life more complicated <grin> there aren’t official chord names so the chord diagrams are above the words. They’re not really hard, as long as you change your guitar to the ‘alternate tuning’...Cathy was gentle with me, as it was my first time! 

 

Lastly, for the last Chorus, you move your Capo from the third fret to the fourth fret.   Go ahead and give it a try!

X50055                    5X0055

You    just sit alone and cry

                     355000

Watch another day go by

X50055              5X0055

Sinking deeper into fear

                       355000

I’m afraid you’ll disappear

X50055                        5X0055

Don’t  you long for something more

                             355000

There’s a world outside your door

You   can’t take it with you

355000              

Please enjoy your life

 

Voices inside tell you lies

No you can’t ignore it

So, let it go, let it flow

You’ll be better for it

Life could take you by surprise

If you open up your eyes

Won’t get better standing still

Never has and never will

Feel the love and see the light

Everything will be alright

Alyson

Come on have some fun before you die

You can’t take it with you

Please enjoy your life

If you don’t then it will pass you by

Open up your window

Crawl into the light
