Strum
D-DU-UDU
Must  be getting early, clocks  are running late,
First  light of the morning sky, looks  so phony.
Dawn  is breaking everywhere, not  a candle, cursed  the glare,
Draw  the curtains, I don't care,  'cause  it's alright.
I will  get by,
I will  get by,
I will  bet by,
 I will survive.
 I see you got your fist out, say your piece and get out,
 Yes I get the gist of it, but it's alright.
 Sorry that you feel that way, the only thing there is to say,
 Every silver lining's got a touch of grey.
It's  a lesson to me,  the eagles  and the beggars and the seas
The  ABC's, we  all must face, try  to keep a little  grace.
It's  a lesson to me,  the delta's  and the east and the freaks,
The  ABC's, we  all think of, try  to create a little love
 No more rabbit's in out ears, the dog has not been fed in years,
 It's even worse than it appears, but, it's alright.
 Coward's given kerosene, he can't read at seventeen,
 The words he knows are all obscene, but, it's alright.
 The shoe is on the hand it fits, there's really nothing much to it,
 Whistle through your teeth and spit, 'cause, it's alright.
 Oh well a touch of grey, kind of suits you anyway,
 That's all I have to say, but, it's alright.
 With "We" instead of "I")
