Melanie Safka - Good Book
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO:   F    C(3x)
Poor little hairy kids, Fout on their Cown
They run to the festival, to Fshow that they were Gone
They've fallen in Clove with Fall human Ckind
So tell them you love them, so they Fdon't change their Cmind
Write us a book of inFstructions or Csigns
And if it's been written then Fgive us more Gtime
Recite a Cpoem or Fsing us a Csong
And tell us you love us, so we Fdon't feel aCloneF  
INTERLUDE:
La la la laa la la, la la la Claa
FLa la la laa la la, la la la Claa, la la Glaa
And it's Csad that we weren't born like Fhorses and Csheep
To know where we're going, to Fknow what we Gneed
But you've written the Cmusic, so Fwe'll sing aClong
But tell us you love us, so we Fdon't feel aClone
Give the Fpoet a Cpoem and the Fsinger a Csong
And then tell us you love us, so we Fdon't feel aClone
So we Fdon't feel aClone, so we Fdon't feel aClone
You got to tell us, you love us, so we Fdon't feel all aClone
