Sittin’ on a fence (Listen to midi)

 

    C – D – G – C – F - G7 – C ~

 

   F                        G                       G7                C

1.    Since I was young I´ve been very hard to please,

F            G                                  C       - C7

    and I don´t know wrong from right.

F

    But there is one thing I will never understand,

G                                                 G7

    some of the sick things that a girl does to a man, so:

 

C               F                G       - C                 F                  G

    I´m just sittin´ on a fence,      you can´t say I got no sense,   

      C                   D                  G                 C

    tryin´ to make up my mind really is too hard to find,

F               G               C

    so, I`m sittin´ on a fence.

 

     F                  G                              G7                     C

2.     All of my friends at school grew up and settled down,

F                    G                          C          – C7

     and they mortgaged up their lives.

F

    One thing´s not said too much but I think it´s true,

G                                                       G7

    they just get married ´cos there’s nothing else to do.

 

+ CHORUS   + instrumental = verse 2   + CHORUS

 

             F                               G                     G7                     C

3. The day can come when you get old and sick and tired of life,

F                 G           C      – C7

    you just never realize.

F

    Maybe the choice you made wasn´t really right,

G                                        G7

    but you go out and you don´t come back at night.
