_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
You got enough stories for them. _ _ _
_ One time_
Thank you. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I would like to stand up for one moment. _ _ _ _
_ _ You heard _ _ _ _ the lady?
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ I would like to sing a great music song.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] I'd like to do it like I want to, because it has a very special connection to Calgary.
And in particular, a [G] very [Gb] special connection to some of the people involved in the group.
_ _ [Eb] This weekend, so_
If it's cool, [Fm] I'll do it this [Gb] way.
When it [E] gets to that part, then I'll explain [Gb] it.
Because if I kind of explain it before, they'll probably forget about it.
_ _ _ Or I will, [F] most likely.
_ [D] Is anyone else getting nervous?
[F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ Myself and Sean wrote this song in late [E] 1990.
_ It's a good one.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Gb]
Thank God [F] for this song that I'm playing right now.
[Gb] _ I think if you know how to sing along, I'm going to put [Eb] it all together.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
That's right, _ it's not so [Gm]
bad.
Come on, everyone.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
I had that much in the song, and I wanted a second Christmas song.
_ _ I don't give up one person in particular, but maybe a character, _ a body, a _ survivor.
[G] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ I was watching television and _ there was a documentary [G] that came out on the TV,
[F] the little news story about a gal who was busking in Vancouver.
_ _ And it got the model. _ _
She beat up pretty bad.
What did she do?
She didn't give up.
She didn't quit.
_ She just turned around and went right back to the place.
_ Stared right up at the mouse. _ _
_ Wonderfully, uh, assiduously, beautiful. _ _
_ So I called her, uh, I was a bit afraid to call her Jane, but I don't know why.
I was a little bit nervous to call her by her actual name in the song.
I called her Janey in the song.
Her name is Janey.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] You put me to the door, I'm going up, I'm going down. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ One signal, one voice, one stop [Fm] trying.
_ Oh no, _ she might stumble, they will [F] stir her up.
She might fall, but she'll never [G] let her down.
It's not so [Gm] bad.
Come on!
_ _ [C] And I say, [Bb] yeah, it's a little [F] everyday thing.
Some once in a lifetime.
_ I think it ain't no [Bb] good.
Just [Fm] got to sit _ somewhere.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ In life, there's always some sorrow.
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's a double edge knife, but there's always tomorrow. _
_ _ _ _ _ It's for the female musical fair.
Yes, keep the thing, the ship will come in.
It's not [Gm] so bad.
Come on, y'all.
_ [C] _ And I [Gm] say, yeah, [G] it's a little [C] everyday thing.
Some once in a lifetime.
I think [Gm] it ain't no good.
[G] Just got to sit somewhere.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
In life, there's always some sorrow.
It's a double edge [C] knife, _ _ but there's always [Bb] tomorrow.
It's [G] for the female musical fair.
_ _ It's a double edge _ _ _ _ knife, _ but there's always tomorrow.
It's for the female musical fair.
I think it ain't no [Gm] good.
Just [C] got to sit somewhere.

[C] It's for the female _ _ _ musical fair.
[N] It's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a double _ _ _ _ _ _ edge _ _ _ _ _ _ knife, _ but there's always tomorrow.
_ _ _ _ _ _ It's for the female musical _ fair.
It's for the female musical [G] fair.
It's _ _ for [C] the female musical fair. _ _
