Song: Pretty Old Folk Song
This song is played in 3/4 timing
Em G
Hey Mr. Guitar man could you start strummin
Am C Em
Can you tell what song this is by what I'm hummin
Em G
The tune purred from her throat and I was reminded
Am C G
I recognized parts but I just couldn't find it
Chorus:
C G
She said "there's a pretty old pretty folk song ima missin"
C G
She felt it mighta been written by Dylan
Em D
Well if you're ready and able to listen
Am C G Am C Em
Then baby oh baby I'm willin, baby oh baby I'm willin
Em G
At first I thought she wanted "don't think twice"
Am C Em
She said that wasn't it, but it sounded nice
Em G
I tried "sad-eyed lady" and even "blue moon"
Am C G
When she smiled and shrugged and uttered "sorry wrong tune"
Chorus
Em D
Perhaps she had erred so I tried "catch the wind"
Em C
When at me she glared just like I had sinned
Em D
I did "John Wesley Harding" no that ain't it
Am C D
Fact I'm sure it was never a hit
Em G
I tried and I tried it was really a job
Am C Em
I played each song and more that I'd heard by Bob
Em G
When I ran out I played on I wrote 'bout the sun
Am C G
When she lit up and said "that's the one!"
Chorus
