Dick Lee - Life Story




One of my favorite songs as a kid. if you are as old as I am, you'd probably have heard this song in an insurance commercial.

Key: E (Verse/Chorus) G (Bridge)
E                  B     C                           G
Wake up she said Look it's a beautiful day
D7/F# Bsus4 B Em B
Downstairs to the kitchen door And then away
E B C G

Into the light morning feeling lives on
D7/F# B Em B

Come the clouds, the moon and morning is gone
G                       D/F#               Em              Bm7
Born today some years ago and had a happy childhood

C G/B Am7 D
But I fell in love and out and nothing's changed

G D/F# Em Bm7
Lived a life of nothing much but then how much can one expect?

C G/B Am7 B
So there you are my life has gone but I'm the same
               E  G#m  A             B            E
* Just my life story minute by second a story
F#m B E
A
That goes on forever with each breath that I take
B E G#m A B E
This is my life story uneventfullest story

F#m B A E/G# F#m E
That ages with each year and birthday cake
E               B    C                              G
Get up she said Hurry or you might be late
D7/F# B Em B

Everyday you hurry off to make your days
E B C G
Learn something new What are you hoping to prove?
D7/F# B Em B

Make some money Find a wife Have a kid or two
G                    D/F#                 Em                       Bm7
Thinking back I like to dream of things I would have done

C G/B Am7 D
If I were braver then again or not what can I do?
G D/F# Em Bm7
Maybe if I had another chance I'd go into my past

C G/B Am7 B
And make my life a better one For me and you *
G                         D/F#                Em                    Bm7
When it's time and I must close I'll write a book and sign it X
C G/B Am7 D
And send it to some true romance type magazine somewhere
G D/F# Em Bm7
Then the world will read of me and say there lived a hero
C G/B Am7 B

But too late my friends and enemies I guess life isn't fair
          E   F#m     C#m7         B
So my life story is self explanatory

G#m A F#m
Won't you please start from page one and do go on

B E A E A E
Till I'm done till I'm done till I'm done
