inspiration is a rascal! my friend Dave said to me a couple of days ago, on the phone, that he was very busy with work and that i wasn't likely to receive any lyrics from him in a long while...sure enough, the next morning, these arrived at my inbox...and although i haven't been inspired for a while, today this tune emerged.
m.h: vocals, trumpet, one hand piano, faux-bass, choir
lyrics:
(Am) What is a man
Without a (Dm) hammer or a guitar
In his (Em)hand, In his (Am) hand x2
Does he exist without (Dm) accordion, toolbox or(Em) Briefcase?
in his (Am)hand
(C)Who brings home a bushel of (G)Turnips,
(Am) who is it that strokes the forehead of a (G)child,
(Fmaj7)As he passes through the screen door
with a (G )swipe of his own forehead
and (Fmaj7) grabs the ice cold lemonade as (G) if without it he could not move another step.
(C)He knows that certain death is (D)waiting
around every (Dm) corner, around every (G)corner
(C)He knows that she might (G)walk out that screen door
for (F) good if he doesn't play ....(G) the harmonica,
(Em)or fix the truck or get the taxes (Am)done on Time
Or if he (Dm)doesn't freshen himself before (Em)bed time,
and (Dm) rise up each morning to (G)get at the day,
(C) To bash around his ghosts and (G)deal with the good people who are (Em) trying to hammer him at every turn in the (Am) road.
(E)
(Am)What is a man
without a bag of (Dm)tricks to make the bogey man go (Em) away
go (Am)away
as long as he has purview over your (Dm)world, (Em)
(Am)What is a man if he cant do (Dm)1 million chores and keep you (Em)safe for the rest of your (Am)life?
A (Dm)man who will listen to what you need and won't (G)cancel the Order
