Aretha

Intro: Bb  Gm  Eb  F

       Bb  Gm  Eb
I got Aretha in the Morning
 F                                 
High on my headphones and walking 
     Bb
to school
F          Bb  Gm     Eb
I got the blues in springtime
      F                          
cause I know that I'll never have 
          Eb  Ebm
the right shoes

Bb                                
Momma she'd notice but she's 
    Cm
always crying
                    Dm
I got no-one to confide in
  F                 Bb
Aretha, nobody but you

Momma she'd notice but she's always 
fighting
something in her mind
and it sounds like breaking glass

Aretha, Aretha I don't want to go to

But I got the words
