Up (G major) at 4 .30,

(C major) Getting (C minor) dainty, (C major) she's ready (D major)
And the (C major) coffee for the (C minor) west side (C major) fo' (D major)
There's (G major) a song running
through her head
That a man strummed on the porch

Keeps a smiling friendly

You (B major) know Hugo Charlie

She gets a (G major) good cry every morn (D major) ing
Tak (A major) ing all the orders of moaning (A minor)
Hey, (C major) (A minor) (C major) it's a (G major) good way

Verse 2
I want to invite out our daughter,
Olivia Nora.
Olivia has been singing with us
since she's (G major) five weeks old. (G major)
So we're going to bring her up.
This is a song we're going to do.
It's a brand new song.
It just came out of the archives,
the Woody Guthrie archives.
Is there another daughter
peeking through?
We have two now.
One's six months old.
And she's somewhere (C major) in the back here.
(G major) But this song was (C major) sent to us
by my (G major) Aunt Nora,
who's been doing some (G major) of
the projects
(C major) that are coming out of the archives.
There's about 3 ,500 songs
that my grandfather wrote.
And he's only recorded
like a hundred of those.
And so those are the ones
that we're familiar with.
the rest of them are just
lyrics on a page.
And so she's been coming out
with all kinds of new albums.
He's actually got a hit
right now.
The Dropkick Murphys have a hit
with one of his songs shipping (C major) off to Boston.
So Woody Guthrie's doing awful well
these
And he just won a Grammy the other night,
too, he just won a Grammy, that's right.
So it's pretty fun.
(G major) It's pretty amazing,
the wealth of material
that we have to draw from.
And we were lucky enough
to get this song.
My Aunt Nora emailed it to us
back in (G major) December.
And she said, you know, this is a song
that hasn't gotten,
you know, music to it yet.
And I'd love it if you (C major) guys could do
something with it.
And by the way, you have to do it
and perform it next week.
And so we got right on it.
And I had heard a few interviews
with my grandfather.
and one (G major) of the ones that I just loved
was he's sitting there talking about
you know his sort of style
I guess and he says well
I usually just play two chords
G's and D's. says
but every once in a while
I throw a C in there
to impress the ladies.
So we threw a little C in here
because I'm just sure he was
I want to impress the ladies
with this song.
It's called Folk Song.
And this (C major) is what we've done with it.
