[Verse - No drums- Muted downstrokes for all except * - let it ring]
Oh, I could [G] hide 'neath the [Am] wings
Of the [Bm] bluebird as she [C] sings
The [G] six-o-clock a [Em] larm
would never [A7] ring [D7]* (E-2-0 B-3)
But it [G] rings and I [Am] rise
Wash the [Bm] sleep out of my [C] eyes
(chords 1/2 bar each)
My [G] shaving [Em] razor's [Am] cold
[D7] and it stings [G]
[Pre-chorus-riff - NO SNARE - JUST BASS DRUM - INDIVIDUALLY AND LOUDLY PICK EACH NOTE]
Use 1st and 2nd finger so G chord is always ringing under but can play these octaves

[Verse - Light chords and try to make drums a bit lighter]
You [G] once thought of [Am] me
As a [Bm] white knight on a [C] steed
Now [G] you know how [Em] happy
Life can be [A7] [D7]
And our good [G] times start and [Am] end
Without [Bm] dollar one to [C] spend
But [G] how much [Em] baby [Am] do we
[D7] really need [G]
