         A                                    D
      1Somewhere down in the city there's a mad dog madder
        A   DSomewhere out in the sticks there's a sad cat sadder
         CBut you ain't gonna let it Fgot on top of you
         CNo you ain't gonna let it Fget a hold
         CYou gotta get out oFf that rut before yEou get old
ChoruDs   So pack uEp your troubles Aand go head fF#mor the hills
         DLeave alEl your wAorries behind
         DPack uEp your liquor anAd your cigarettes anF#md your pills
         FGo catch a fish Eon the line
      2Somewhere over the sun there's a bebop hummin'
         Somewhere down at the station there's a freedomtrain commin'
         Can you hear that chugga luggin better get on board
         Get out of the wind and the cold
         You gotta get out of that rut before you get old
Chorus   R E P E A T
      3Somewhere up in the sky there's a big big dadda,
         Sometime you'll have to climb up a dangerous ladder;
         But there ain't such a word as impossible,
         And there's always the never ending dream,
         And things ain't never as bad as they might seem
Chorus   R E P E A T
      4Somewhere on the horizon there's a deep hole waitin'
         No one, no one at all is ever gonna get away;
         You gotta reach out and touch the impossible,
         And never ever let it get a hold,
         You better get out of that rut before you get old.
Chorus   R E P E A T
      5All you're ever ever gonna do will workout fine
         Go catch a fish on the line.
