Little Red Rooster chords by Paul Heaton

Intro:
E   B    E   A      E  B
Hey hey, do do do do, do do do do do, do do
E   B    E   A      E  B
Hey hey, do do do do, do do do do do, do do

Verse 1:
E                 B        E
What should I compare you to, that sun on winter's day?
A        E           B       B7
Tulips standing proud and bright when all around is grey
E                B     E
What should I compare you to, a comet or a star?
 A       E           B          E
A little flicker where you've been or a lighthouse where you are?
   A       E     B        E
Well I'm a certain person who sees a sense of life
   A        E       B       E
That hides behind the glory days and only shines at night

Chorus:
             E               B
You're just a little red rooster; she's an old speckled hen
    B7                       E  E7
You've fallen in love once before, now it's happening again
         A      D     A   F#m
Just do what you use to, I'll do what I ca a a an
       E               B           A  E
And she'll be once, twice, three times your lady, and I'll be her man

Repeat Intro:

Verse 2:
E                 B       E
What should I compare you to, that window facing south?
   A        E        B          B7
That captures sun in tiny frames and throws it round the house
E                B      E
What should I compare you to, a compass or a stone?
  A          E            B          E
The rock that holds the whole thing down or the hand that points you home?
   A       E     B        E
Well I'm a certain person who sees a sense of life
   A        E       B       E
That hides behind the glory days and only shines at night

Repeat Chorus:

A       E       B       E
So listen up you middle aged or slightly older men
A          E         B        E
If they look old to you my friend, you sure look old to them
A         E      B         E
Take this from the rooster who found his speckled hen
   A       E         B       E
It's never down to who you love; it's purely down to when

Repeat Chorus:
