Verse 1
(G major) Jimmy throws the pa (D major) pers
to all the (G major) porches of this town
He's up before the daylight
comes
to (D major) spread the warmth around
He glances at (G major) the head (D major) lines
before he wraps those (G major) pa pers tight
This is his time, it's the (D major) tail end of the night (G major)
He rides a western flyer (D major)
that he keep (C major) s in perfect shape
(G major) And every spring he gives that thing
a (D major) fresh red coat of paint
His (G major) un cle Henry borrowed (D major) it
from the (C major) widow down the road
(G major) To help young Jimmy haul (D major) his heavy load (G major)
And he (C major) loves to read about
Ted Williams' (D major) latest home run
And he (C major) loves to deliver news (D major)
of babies being born
And (G major) he rides through (D major) (C major) the misty morning
He (G major) rides (D major) through the (C major) quiet streets of town
He (G major) rides (D major) and (C major) thinks about
his (G major) future plans (A minor)
He (D major) wants to be a newspaperman, (G major)
a (D major) (C major) newspaper (G major) man (D major) (C major)
Susan (G major) Moore, the girl (D major) next door,
she's (C major) got a little crush
(G major) She knows how to make him smile,
(D major) how to make him blush
She think (G major) s he's kinda handsome, (D major)
and well, (C major) maybe someday (G major)
She wonders what the (D major) headline might (G major) say
And (C major) early every morning
she's awakene (D major) d by a boom
She spring (C major) s to life and stumbles
to the win (D major) dow of her room
As (G major) he rides through (D major) (C major) the misty mornings,
he (G major) rides through (D major) the (C major) quiet streets of town,
he (G major) rides (D major) and (C major) dreams about his (G major) future plan
(A minor) to (D major) be a newspaper man. (G major) (D major) (C major)
A newspaper (G major) man (D major) (C major)
With (G major) a big desk, (D major) black phone
And a (C major) busy glassed -in
office of his own
(G major) Reporters running (D major) here and there
The (C major) smell of newsprint in the air
And gi (G major) gantic presses kick (D major) ing out
All (C major) the latest news to read about (A minor)
Our lives (D major)
These are our lives (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major)
Funny (G major) how a (D major) simple dream
could shape (C major) a dreamer's life (G major)
Susan got her paperboard
She got (D major) to be his wife
Jimmy (G major) ran the pa (D major) per
that he al (C major) ways knew he would
(G major) It was 1963 and (D major) life was good (G major)
But (C major) no one could imagine
just how (D major) painful it would be
When the (C major) shots rang out to stop the world
(D major) Well, John F. Kennedy (G major) (D major)
(C major) He was John F. Kennedy (G major) (D major)
Oh, (C major) (G major) running (D major) here and there
And the (C major) smell of newsprint in the air
Gigantic (G major) presses kick (D major) ing out
All (C major) the latest news to read
about (A minor) our lives (D major)
These are our lives
(G major) Through (D major) (C major) the misty mornings
Oh, (G major) (D major) through the (C major) quiet streets of town (G major)
(D major) These (C major) are hard times (G major) (D major)
Oh, (C major) (G major) these are our lives (D major)
Yeah, (C major) our lives (G major)
We (D major) we (C major) rise, (G major) (D major) we (C major) rise
