[Intro]
A
[Verse]
A D
Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand
E A
I don't talk much I'm a quiet man
A D
Beauty and silence both run deep
E A
And I'm running like crazy while you are asleep
[Chorus]
G A
You got news for me, I got nothing for you
G
Don't pin your blues on me
A D E E
Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to
[Verse]
A D
Last Monday night I saw a fight
E A
Between Wednesday and Thursday over Saturday night
A D
Tuesday asked me what was going on
E A
I said, "Sunday's in the meadow and Friday's in the corn"
[Chorus]
G A
You got news for me, I got nothing for you
G
Don't pin your blues on me
A D E E
Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to
[Verse]
A D
Hocus-pocus, maladjusted
E A
Don't you think my tears get rusted
A D
Steady losing means you ain't using
E A
What you really think is right
[Chorus]
G A
You got news for me, I got nothing for you
G
Don't pin your blues on me
A D E E
Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to
[Verse]
A D
Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
E A
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
A D
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
E A
And I am a quiet man
[Verse]
A D
Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
E A
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
A D
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
E A
And I am a quiet man
[Verse]
A D
Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
E A
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
A D
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
E A
And I am a quiet man
