G
The old cat on the roof
C
He can stand a little push
Am7              D                G
Cause he's got nine good lives to live
(Bass Run - Single notes: D-C-B-A)

G
But like my Mama said
C
You only live till your'e dead
Am             D                G
And you got to give and give and give
(Repeat Bass Run--after every other stanza as well)

There's a peble int the pond
Going on and on
Makng waves and tides and riplles and rain

There's a leaf in the wind
The don't know were to end
Chasing days and ways an wishes and dreams

D                           G
Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun
        C                G              D
Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates
D
But it'll shine when it shines
                G
You might think I'm wasting time
           C             D                     G
But I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait
G
Wipperwil's in the Dawn
C
Pretty soon he'll be gone
Am7          D                 G
But he's got one good song to sing
G
Like my Daddy said
C
It's in your heart not your head
Am7              D                 D
So you'e got to sing and sing and sing

G
Theres a window in the wall
C
Looking out on it all
Am7                D                   G
Chasing fears and tears and troubles alone

G
Theres a fire in the stove
C
Keeping out the cold
Am7               D                      G
Warming wine and winters and babies and homes

  D                            G
Seems like everyone is out looking for the sun
         C                G          D
Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates
D
But it'll shine when it shines
            G
You might think I'm waisting time
         C               D                    G
But i'm just a good old boy thats learned to wait
         C               D                    G
Yes i'm just a good old boy thats learned to wait
