Lyrics

Capo fret 3 [live version, ferrara, italy, 1998]

[A min] poor ole surrender ( g ) mimosa, fin'ly burnt out by the [a min] sun
I feel pretty burnt ( c ) out myself
When the ( g ) long, hot summer is [a min] done
[A min] summertime's long been my ( g ) fav'rite, now I can't grab it no [a min] more
Can't find no time for ( c ) a fish on the line
Or that ( g ) swing in the old [a min] sycamore
I'm in such a ( f ) hurry now
It ( c ) starts to ( g ) worry me
Stop an' smell the roses?
[A min] baby I can't hardly see
( F ) no, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be, but
( G ) I've got so much [a min] responsibility
Baby, you know how I'm ( g ) working, sorry I'm busy so [a min] much
Sorry those days when the ( c ) world went our way
Are so ( g ) hard to return to [a min] an'touch
Maybe our future looks ( g ) brighter, maybe our ship will come [a min] in
Maybe these years an'these ( c ) muletrain careers
Will be ( g ) things we wont think about [a min] then
But
I'm in such a ( f ) hurry now
It ( c ) starts to worry ( g ) me
Stop an' smell the roses?
[A min] baby I can't hardly see
( F ) no, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be, but
( G ) I've got so much [a min] responsibility
( F ) competition's heavy on a hard line wreckin'crew
[A min] the good ones never leave an'still
There's always some one new
( F ) pressure comes down hard up on a top notch rivet team
( G ) we don't get time to pace ourselves
We don't stand around and [a min] dream
Poor ole surrender ( g ) mimosa, fin'ly burnt out by the [a min] heat
I feel pretty burnt ( c ) out myself
When I ( g ) make that ole turn down [a min] our street
Summertime's long been my ( g ) fav'rite, now it's ole autumn [a min] I love
Summertime fun on some ( c ) beach in the sun
Is not ( g ) somethin' I'm seein' much [a min] of
I'm in such a ( f ) hurry now
It ( c ) starts to worry ( g ) me
Stop an' smell the roses?
[A min] baby I can't hardly see
( F ) no, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be, but
( G ) I've got so much [a min] responsibility
