You are viewing lyrics of Goin' Down to Laurel by STEVE FORBERT from the album UNKNOWN at LyricsAndSongs.COM
[Dmin] Look at Johnny jivin' across [G] the floor
He [C] can play the fool and [G] make a few mistakes,
[Dmin] But all the same he'll never be [G] a bore
I'm [C] glad to be so young [G] talkin' with my tongue
[D min] Glad to be so careless in [G] my way
[C] Glad to take a chance [G] and play against the odds
[D min] Glad to be so crazy in [G] my day
Well [C] I'm goin' [C/B] down to [A min] Laurel
[G] It's a dirty stinkin' town [Am] yea
[F] But me I know [G] exactly what I'm going to [Am] find
[C-G-A min] [D min] Little girl [E min] I'm goin' to see
[Am] She is a fool for [C] lovin' me
[F] But she's in love [G] and love's a funny state of [C] mind
Yes it is (on second chorus)
Well [C] what was that you said [G] when you had a tear
[D min]Rolling down your cheek the [G] other night
[C] I couldn't catch it all [G] there's something going wrong
[D min]I hope you got it straightened out [G] alright
[C] Everything's so loud [G]and everything's so fast
[D min]I here your brother married once [G]again
Yea [C] best of luck and all and [G] try to have some fun
[D min]They tell me this great life can always [G] end
CHORUS
harmonica theme again: [C-G-D min-G]
I'm [C] smilin' from a car, I'm [G] goin' for a drive
[D min]Feel the whistle blowin' breeze gone [G]flying by
[C] Mirror's on the moon, [G] echo in the sun
[D min] See just a touch of madness [G]in my eye
[C]Please don't mention rain, [G] please don't talk of trains
[D min]Please don't mention buildings burning [G]down
[C]Everybody here seems [G] to like to laugh
[D min] Either step in time or just don't hang [G] around
CHORUS
harmonica theme again: [C-G-D min-G]
Yendo a Laurel
Capo en el 2do traste
[C-G-Dmin-G] Introducción: tocar 3 veces (1 armónica + 2 guitarra)
Bueno [C] a todos aquí, [G] parece gustarles reír
Mira a Johnny bailando por [G] el piso
Él [C] puede hacer el tonto y [G] cometer algunos errores,
[Dmin] Pero de todas formas nunca será [G] aburrido
Me [C] alegra ser tan joven [G] hablando con mi lengua
[D min] Contento de ser tan descuidado en [G] mi forma
[C] Contento de arriesgar [G] y jugar contra las probabilidades
[D min] Contento de ser tan loco en [G] mi día
Bueno [C] voy a [C/B] Laurel [A min]
[G] Es una ciudad sucia y maloliente [Am] sí
[F] Pero yo sé [G] exactamente lo que voy a [Am] encontrar
[C-G-A min] [D min] Pequeña chica [E min] que voy a ver
[Am] Ella es una tonta por [C] amarme
[F] Pero ella está enamorada [G] y el amor es un estado de ánimo gracioso [C] sí lo es (en el segundo coro)
Bueno [C] ¿qué fue lo que dijiste [G] cuando tenías una lágrima
[D min] Rodando por tu mejilla la [G] otra noche
[C] No pude entenderlo todo [G] algo anda mal
[D min] Espero que lo hayas resuelto [G] bien
[C] Todo es tan ruidoso [G] y todo es tan rápido
[D min] Escuché que tu hermano se casó [G] otra vez
Sí [C] mucha suerte y todo y [G] trata de divertirte
[D min] Me dicen que esta gran vida siempre puede [G] terminar
CORO
Tema de armónica de nuevo: [C-G-D min-G]
Estoy [C] sonriendo desde un auto, estoy [G] yendo a dar una vuelta
[D min] Siento el viento soplando [G] volando
[C] Los espejos en la luna, [G] eco en el sol
[D min] Veo solo un toque de locura [G] en mis ojos
[C] Por favor no menciones la lluvia, [G] por favor no hables de trenes
[D min] Por favor no menciones edificios ardiendo [G] abajo
[C] A todos aquí parece [G] gustarles reír
[D min] O siguen el ritmo o simplemente no se [G] quedan por aquí
