Please [F#m] welcome [E] Livingston Taylor to the Wood [A] Songs Old Time Radio Hour.
Well thank you all, thank you all so much.
It's [E] wonderful to be here with you in this beautiful theater in the great city of Lexington, Kentucky.
[C#] Eight hours with a shuffle in the city's summer sun
[C] Aching arms and dusty boots and a [E] job that [F#] won't [E] get done
[C#]
Two weeks' pay spent yesterday in a three-chains bus fly-talk
And [Am] the fading gray of a long, hard day, [Em] not a thing [A] to call [E] your own
And the [A#] boy turns [A] and asks his [Em] old dad, he [A#m] says
Are [F#] you [Em] glad for [F#m] the kind of [Em] life you've [A] had?
And he [E]
says, life [F#m] is [E] good, spring is [A] in the air
[E] You [G#] got bucks [C#m] in your pocket, a little bit of real [F#m] cream in your hair
You [E] know life [F#m] is good, [E] and you're proud [Am] of what you do
[G#m] Well, I've given you [C#m] all to others, and [F#m] it all [E] comes back to you
[B] [A] Now
[E] listen, I'm tapping my foot pretty hard here.
Is that too loud, do you think, Michael?
I know it's too [A] big.
[E] Nothing I can do about that.
[C#m] Some guys are handsome and they make friends all the time
[Am] And they always got a buddy and [G] they always [A]
[Em] feel [C#m] fine
Others take the back seat and they watch the world [F#] go by
[Am] And they live life alone, [E] quietly and shy
But [A#] when love strikes [A] and fires start [E] to burn
[A#m] And lonely [F#] years melt [E] away and [F#m] finally [Em] it's your [A] turn
And you [E] say, life [F#m] is good, [E] winter's [A]
blowing cold
[D#m] And [G#] love [C#m] is forever and it never will [C#] grow [E] old
Life [F#m] is [E] good, and you're proud [Am] of what you
[Em] do
[Am]
[G#m] Well, I've given you [C#m] all to others, [F#m] and it all [E] comes back to you
[B] [A]
You
[C#m] can [E] go year to year [G]
thinking [Em] life has nothing [A] to [Em] do
[C#m]
Special things [E] go to others, [Em] and you're glad for them
But then [A] just like that, it goes and changes, [F#m] just like that
[Gm] You say [E]
that life [F#m] is good, [E] you were heading [A] for the fall
And [D#m] you pick [G#] yourself up [C#m] and you dust yourself off and it didn't [F#m] [B] hurt at all
[E]
Oh, life is [F#m] good, [E] and you're proud [Am] of what you do
[Em]
You [G#m] give [C#] it all to others, [E] come on [C#m] now, try
[E] Listen
[C#] very [E] closely to every laugh and sigh
Maybe there's a reason for all that [C#] we do
Give [F#m] it all
[E] to others, and [C#] it all comes [B] back [E] to you
[A] [G#m]
To [G]
[Em] [B] you
Well thank you all, thank you all so much.
