needs a change.
And when you went away,
I keep, I keep,
Cause everybody knows,
And I feel so alive.
Like berries, like a market,
Like a buzzing beehive.
I won't show it, I won't show it,
'Cause a fool I will seem.
So I'll sit on my hands,
And swim in my dreams.
In an old-fashioned way,
I'd rather die waiting,
Than forget his name.
When he sings, when he sings,
On the afternoon porch.
The song like shelter,
And dark like a torch.
The TV is on, and the fan swings around,
The insects are singing, 'cause the sun's going down.
The heat is like love, and the breeze is like kisses,
I boil two eggs and it's him that I'm missing.
La la la la la la....

Arrangement source for La La La by Tinpan Orange

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
a really beautiful song. 3/4 timing. i just guessed the chords, the [B]  [Am] bit probably
needs a change.

I [C]must say, I must say,
That I loved you the mo[G]st.
And when you went away,
I remembered your gh[C]ost.
I keep, I keep,
It right in my he[G]art.
Cause everybody knows,
That ghosts like the da[C]rk.

The [B]TV is on, and the f[Am]an swings around,
Th[B]e insects are singing, 'cause th[Am]e sun's going down.
The he[B]at is like love, and the breeze is like kisses,
I b[D]oil two eggs and it's h[G]im that I'm missing.

I [C]think of you, think of you,
                [G]      [continue)
And I feel so alive.
Like berries, like a market,
Like a buzzing beehive.
I won't show it, I won't show it,
'Cause a fool I will seem.
So I'll sit on my hands,
And swim in my dreams.

[C]     [G]

I p[B]our another glass, and I wait [Am]for the rain,
I drin[B]k up the milk and start co[Am]unting again.
Each d[B]ay is closer to the humming [Am]monsoon,
It s[D]urely returns like the f[G]lowers that bloom.

I[C]n a way, in a way,
                     [G]                        {continue}
In an old-fashioned way,
I'd rather die waiting,
Than forget his name.
When he sings, when he sings,
On the afternoon porch.
The song like shelter,
And dark like a torch.

[C]    [G]

The TV is on, and the fan swings around,
The insects are singing, 'cause the sun's going down.
The heat is like love, and the breeze is like kisses,
I boil two eggs and it's him that I'm missing.

[C]La la la, la[G] la la,
La la la la la la....
