foolish pride by dan murray
*note* hammer on and off C
straight tunning (capo second fret)
verse 1:
unbutton me, roll up my sleaves
hang me by the curtains to dry
take off my tie, unfold me by and by
hang me in the closet to grow old
untie these suede shoes, let me sing my blues
of being soakened by the rain
this dog I own is tame, in he I take no shame
as I let him out to run and play
chorus:
As you can see the rest is up to me
while I sit and rest in glee
verse 2:
If i so decied, I can lower my pride
and stay like all the rest and the moon
instead here I lay, given into the hay
resting by and by
placed upon the shelf, this favorite book of mine
the author unknown and the time
this my dusty treasure, have I not but opened once
to claim that it's mine
chorus 2:
as you can see the rest is up to me
while i sit and ponder what's inside
verse 3:
these weary days that pass, before my eyes through glass
keep me on the inside wondering
the days that lie ahead, i think of in my bed
asleep like brian wilson did
taken by the rain, while my insides pain
aching through these rainy days
as the children play and while i lay in ha
my foolish mind is hardening
chorus 3
as you can see the rest is up to me
placing trust in no one that i see
fade
