Etiquette
Gaug
Never noticed her
Why I noticed her so much
I made myself ridiculous
D7
Never noticed her
But I made the blunder
Of trying to attract her attention instead of giving it
Gaug
When I said hello
I had talked right past her
When she looked at me
I had glanced shyly to one side
Gaug
I had been so self-conscious,
I acted self-conscious
Notice others and let them notice by directness
Whoo! Play it Bill! Whoo!
Don’t be scared; don’t be shy.
You’ll never know until you try, buddy
Fred is one of the richest people I have ever met
True, he does not have a hoard of money to give away
He cannot pay handsome salaries
He does not entertain lavishly
Or bestow costly gifts
But he overflows with the gold of sincere friendliness
And gets in return a self-satisfaction
country pick this part using regular chord shapes
G
C
An influence, and a power with people
That all the money in the mint could not buy
He does not wait to see if people will like him
Fred assumes they do like him
That is one of his secrets
He does not wait for them to say hello or smile first
He takes a friendly lead himself and everyone follows
That is another one of the secrets
Gaug
He does not question whether or not
He will like a person
Or wait before deciding to be friendly
C7
He takes it for granted
He will like everyone, every person
This is the third secret of friendliness
Gaug
He magnifies other’s good points
No matter how inconcoicidental
He overlooks a few annoying qualities
Or major bad points
Gaug
This is the fourth element in contagulous friendliness
Friendliness is very contagious
C
The trouble is that many of us wait
To catch it from someone else instead of
Giving the other fella a chance
