The Dozens Caroline Herring
CAPO: 4th Fret
I had a few more [C]questions
I never [G]knew to ask
You were feeling down[F]hearted
The last time we [C]parted
With the shock of the white hair
Life has changed a [G]lot you know
And I'm kind of [F]scared of that
It bottoms out in [C]seconds flat
You said you had a good friend
He died so [G]needlessly
Knocked over by a [F]garbage truck
They threw him down, then they [C]picked him up
And your son was back home again
Your little boy and his [G]children
He's fighting off a [F]mean disease
That's killing off his [C]faculties
CHORUS:
[G]Tell me a little [C]joke
[G]Let's play the [C]do[Em]zens[F]
Say something about my [C]mama
In a veiled quadrille [G]round
I'm just a [C]white girl
[G]From a segre[C]ga[Em]ted [F]town
And I'm looking for some [C]answers
That I [G]haven't [C]found
I remember Memphis
Like it was [G]yesterday
And a Ford station [F]wagon
So full of us, it was [C]dragging
With your books in our grasping hands
We heard you speak, we [G]made our plans
To hoist the flag and [F]rule the world
All the hopes we [C]had unfurled
CHORUS:
[G]Tell me a little [C]joke
[G]Let's play the [C]do[Em]zens[F]
Say something about my [C]mama
In a veiled quadrille [G]round
I'm just a [C]white girl
[G]From a segre[C]ga[Em]ted [F]town
And I'm looking for some [C]answers
That I [G]haven't [C]found
BRIDGE:
[G]I want to be [F]just like [C]you
[G]I want to love [E]first, I [C]do
Look [F]people in the eye
[C]Make them feel good
[F]Then I'll make them think
[Dm]Just like [G]you would
Y'all were off on a [C]night stroll
Down the capitol [G]boulevards
You were emboldening a[F]nother son
Of this grand [C]nation
I would vote for you for president
But you're floating with the [G]butterflies
Soaring with the [F]seagulls
Or the eagle as he [C]takes the skies
Let's eat some democratic soup
And Eastern [G]Market cheese
Meals with you and Cor[F]nelia
Were my most precious [C]memories
I don't know what the hell to do
Please give me a [G]little tap
Tell me I can [F]take it
That I won't bottom out in [C]seconds flat
