Second Cousin

A
Well, she's as sweet as maple sugar
D
And as cool as seaside air
E
She got the kind of body, oh yeah
D
A
That make a bald man tear his hair She got a degree in philosophy And a voice like cherry cream And when she calls positions Well you know I gotta make the team
A
A
Well she's my second cousin

On the good old Catholic side
E
D
A
And they say that loving her is out of line Well she's my second cousin On the good old Catholic side I'm gonna make my second cousin my first bride
D
A
Well that motivation's rolling and my folks have left an open door
D
E
I'm gonna see my baby and my baby's gonna follow me home Her mother says I'm crazy And her father says beware And the parson thinks that the idea stinks But I, well I just don't care We're gonna catch ourselves an aeroplane And gonna take off for the sky And we won't touch down on Earth again Till the next Fourth of July Well she's my second cousin On the good old Catholic side And they say that loving her is out of line Well she's my second cousin On the good old Catholic side I'm gonna make my second cousin my first bride

Childhood's End

Capo:
I
A
You came to me and I could see
D
A
A kind of hope in your eyes
A
If you can see the love in me
E
A
Then I hope you won't lie
E7
'Cause I can tell, girl, that you fell
D
A
From the dreams of your childhood
E7
The fun is gone, it's all put on
D
E
And now you can't even smile Don't laugh so loud out in the crowd 'Cause, girl, you'll only fall harder Just wait alone for night to come And let the sheets hide your shame

She's Falling Apart

D
She's up where the sun is shining Because she can't begin to cry She's can dream, and the dream can make her happy Even though she lives a lie She's my foundation She keeps me standing And now she's falling apart Walk alone, there she stands within her garden Talking to the flowers she knows Child of light, stranded in a world of darkness Tell me how you'll watch them grow She's my foundation She keeps me standing And now she's falling apart
