"Quiet"  by Malvina Reynolds 
3/4 Open Tuning  
       A  E  A  E
Intro:          
A                         E                                 A
I don't know much about much, and what I don't know I don't say,
Dm                         A  E7    A
and when I have nothing to say I'm quiet.
D                         A                      E7                  A
If there's occasion to holler I'll try it, I can make noise with the best,
Dm                              A  E7    A
But most of the rest of the time I'm quiet.
A                            E                           A
I've made mistakes in the past, things that I blush over yet,
Dm                          A  E7     A
but I hardly ever regret having been quiet.
A               E                         A
I have a TV at home, and I do truly enjoy it.
Dm                      A       E7   A
I can just leave it alone, and it's quiet.
D                         A                       E7                  A
If there's occasion to holler I'll try it, I can make noise with the best,
Dm                           A  E7    A
But most of the rest of the time I'm quiet.
A                    E                      A
I'm not unsociable no, people are fine in repose,
Dm                           A   E7     A
somehow my favorites are those who are quiet.
A                        E                      A
Quiet's a wonderful sound, better than oboe or fiddle
Dm                          A             E7    A
Someday I'm going to be found in the middle of quiet.
D                         A                     E7                    A
If there's occasion to holler I'll try it, I can make noise with the best,
Dm                          A  E7     A
But most of the rest of the time I'm quiet.
A                       E                             A
Sing me a song of the sea, soft as the breath of the breeze,
Dm                           A    E7    A
sing me to sleep and then please keep quiet.
