C
G
Where did we go all day?"
C
We seem to get no where and do nothin'
But sit lookin' at each other
G
He said, 'I know'
'I been doin' the same thing
C
G
for weeks'
I look at the clock
C
And all of a sudden I'm hypnotized
It speaks to me, it goes
G
'Tick- tock, tick- tock,
C
G
tick- tock'
Ah- huh
The kitty said
C
'I don't know what you guys do
But I been workin' so hard, lately
G
That I can just only just fall asleep
C
G
in bed'
C
So he played some more sounds
G
And grooved awhile
C
Somebody brought out some
G
C
Cherry wine, cherry wine
G
And we talked about what was
goin' on
C
In the music world, and other things
G

The rain outside came down
Like it came never before
G
Gm
C

Down it came, down it came, rain rain rain

And I said
G
'Baby what time is it, what time is it
C
G
'Tell me, what time is it?

'A- four- thirty'
So I peeked 'round the corner, the blind
C
An' there ya go
G
'There's another girl that's com
in' home from school
Lookin' so cool,
C
just learned her A's to Z's
G
And said, 'Hey man, don't look funny
All the little girls comin' home from school
C
And they're sittin',
talkin' and drinkin'
G
And all them other funny,
funny things
C
F

G
And Charlie said to me
C
'Ya know what?'
G
I said, 'What?'
C
He said, "Man, you gotta go out there
'An do somethin' for yourself'
G
C
G
'Ya feel like ya wanna make it
Or else you gonna be sittin' 'round here
Like, nothin'
C
I said, "You're right'
G
I said "You're so right!'
He said
C
'I know' ah- ha
G
I said, 'Do ya?'
C
Said, 'You know,
G
C
you're cuttin' records
'Cuttin' records right
G
You came through that
C
An', they get through all the
time
You're gonna be out on the road
G
'Oh, out in on back street, man
C
G
On the, on the, highway
C
An' the colors are gonna run
All of a sudden, don't ya feel sick?
G
C
The next gig, you gotta make it
G
I said, 'Yeah, I feel sick'
C
I said, 'Yeah, ya know I can't stay here
All the time, as much as I'd like to
G
But I just learn about all day
C
and all night
An' dig sounds,
G
and go down to the river
C
And once the artists go
G
C
through the motions
Gotta do my thing
G
C
Aah- ah (in the back room)
Aah- ah
G
C
Gotta do my thing (in the back room)
G
C
In the back room (in the back room)
