Put Your Records On Tab

by Corinne Bailey Rae


          
Three little birds, sat on my window. 
      
And they told me I don't need to worry.  
          
Summer came like cinnamon So sweet, 
      
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete. 
 
Chorus 
 
                         G5dimC#
Maybe sometimes, we got it wrong, but it's alright 

The more things seem to change,  

the more they stay the same, don't you hesitate. 
 
               
Go, put your records on, tell me your favourite song 
       
You go ahead, let your hair down 
       
Sapphire and faded jeans,I hope you get your dreams, 
       
Just go ahead, let your hair down

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow. 
 
Verse  
 
Blue as the sky, sombre and lonely, 
Sipping tea in the bar by the road side, (just relax, just relax) 
Don't you let those other boys fool you, 
Gotta love that afro hairdo. 
 
Chorus 
 

Just more than I could take,  

pity for pity's sake 

Some nights kept me awake,  

I thought that I was stronger 

When you gonna realise,  
         
that you don't even have to try any longer. 

Do what you want to.
