This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

Oh I could hide 'neath the wings
Bm C
Of the bluebird as she sings
G Em A7 D
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
G Am
But it rings and I rise

Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
G Em A7 D G
My shaving razor's cold and it stings
C D Bm
Cheer up, sleepy Jean
C D Em C
Oh what can it mean--- to a

Without dollar one to spend
