Kickstand Song

[G] [A/C#] [D] [Dmaj7] [G] [Bm]
[D](n[A7sus4]ote: be[D]tw[A]een the G and the Bm, there might be some kind of F

   [G]  [Gm] [D]   [A]  [G]
or [Bm]
Up until now my ideas have been latent
The [Bm]cycling [A/C#]world will [D]never be the same [Bm]     [A]
    [G]    [Gm]    [D]     [A]       [G]
    [F#] or [Bm]
But come first light I'll be taking out a patent
And [Bm]from [A]that [D]day
If a [Bm]bike be [A]found lying [G]on the [D]ground [Em]again
I'm not to [A]blame   [Bm]      [G]

What [D]joy [Bm]it'll [A]bring, piece of [Em]metal and a [A]spring
Bolted d[Bm]own by the back wheel, acti[G]vated by the heel
What [D]joy [Bm]it'll [A]bring, piece of [Em]metal and a [A]spring

What [G]chicken laid [A]the egg from whence ins[D]ide an idea [Em]hatches?
From [G]prototype to [A]production lines to the [D]first one hundred [Em]batches
[G]I will do for [F#]parking bikes what [Em]anchors did for s[A]ailing
What [D]joy [Bm]it'll [A]bring, piece of [Em]metal [A]and a [D]sprin[Dsus4]g     [D]       [A]         [D]

[A] [Asus4] [A] [D] [A]

        [G]      [Gm]       [D]        [A]
There's handle bars fo[F#]r steering and there's tire tread for traction
  [Bm]   [A/C#]     [D]           [Em]
A[A] tiny bell for friends you pass and greet
But w[G]hen [Gm]they [D]add [A]my ing[G]enious contraption[F#]
[Bm]Mouths [A/C#]will [D]fall
And e[Bm]yebrows will [A]rise and [G]staring e[D]yes will [Em]meet
The bike [A]complete  [Bm]     [G]

What [D]joy [Bm]it'll [A]bring, piece of m[Em]etal and a [A]spring
Bolted [Bm]down by the back wheel, [G]activated by the heel
What [D]joy [Bm]it'll [A]bring, piece of [Em]metal and a [A]spring

There'll be [G]articles in [A]newspapers and [D]dinners at the [Em]town hall
My [G]first check's for a [A]thousand bucks, now [D]that's one spicy [Em]meatball
But [G]all the fame and [F#]fortune in the [Em]world will not co[A]mpare
       [D]    [Bm]   [A]                [Em]
To [A]the joy it'll bring, piece of metal and a spring
[G]Spring   [F]      [D]

Now [G]bikes around the [A]world can stand a[D]lone without their o[Em]wners
And [G]I can get some c[A]ash on the [D]side but that's just a [Em]bonus
When u[G]nderneath their h[F#]elmets I will [Em]see their smiling [A]faces
What [D]joy [Bm]it'll [A]bring, piece of [Em]metal [A]and a [D]spring
         [G]    [Gm]     [D]       [Bm] [A]
[Gm]Pie[D]ce of metal and a spring

Easy song once you get going.  Have fun and keep strings tuned.
