Just a song about places I’ve been, things I’ve seen, places I still want to go, people I want to meet and what I’m going to do in the meantime.

Meandering By Jeff Gilpin


February, 20th 2008






Verse 1


[A7]Traveling round this crazy world


[A7]The sights that I have seen


Some [A7]filled with piss and vinegar


[A7]Some just filled with mean


[D]But some filled with kindness


[D]Some are with filled blindness


And it [E]seemed [D]


Some fell in be[A7]tween




Verse 2


[A7]I’ve seen a spitting camel


[A7]Forced into giving rides


And [A7]monkey’s at this drive through zoo


Who’d [A7]try to get inside


[D]Tear up upholstery


[D]Not how it’s supposed to be


But [E]true [D]


The things those monkeys would [A7]do




Verse 3


[A7]There still are many places


[A7]Where I have yet to go


[A7]Like the top and bottom of the world


[A7]I hope they still got snow


[D]I hear it’s receding


[D]And ice also retreating


Hope not [E]yet [D]


Before we all get [A7]wet





Verse 4


[A7]A couple other places


That I [A7]also want to see


New [A7]Zealand and Australia


Sure do [A7]sound like fun to me


[D]Yeah I’m sure they’re lovely


[D]If you like to sight see


But in the [E]end [D]


I want to make some [A7]friends




Verse 5


[A7]Just like all over Europe


[A7]To include all the UK


[A7]I’d head out tomorrow


But [A7]work is in the way


[D]But before too long


[D]If I am still strong


I’m [E]on [D]


For a trip across the [A7]pond




Verse 6


[A7]For now I have to play and work


[A7]In the suburbs of DC


[A7]Where I know I have lots to do


From the [A7]District to the trees


[D]I prefer the mountains


[D]To lakes or oceans


But I don’t [E]mind [D]


Anywhere is [A7]fine
