CAPO: 2


Intro: Am7

verse 1:

Some life I've been living, like a song in the night
                                                       D7
Good sounds every moment, good news and bright lights

Anytime I get lonesome
  Am7                       Em7     Am7
I just got to do the things right

verse 2:

Make way for the lady, you can do it my son
                                                      D7
Making hay with no gravy, brings the good folk down

Anytime you get lonely
    Am7                  Em7
You just got to turn it around


INTERLUDE: Am7   Em7   Am7   Em7   Am7


verse 3:

This life I've been given, it don't tell you no lies
                                                          D7
Could've been somewhat wasted, how could it be otherwise

When the sound of the laughter brought the tears in to my eyes
     Am7                                Em7   Am7
Make way for the lady, you can do it my son


verse 4:

Making hay with no gravy, gets the day's work done
                                                               D7
When a blue mood gets rolling, you just got to turn it around
         Am7
Turn it around

VERSE 5:

Shake hands with the father, the son and the holy ghost
                                                 D7
The impossible believers and the heavenly host

If you must do it better, you just got to do it the most
     Am7                                Em7   Am7
Make way for the lady, you can do it my son


VERSE 6:

When a blue moon starts rising, you just got to turn it around
         Am7    D  Am7  Em7
Turn it around
         Am7    D  Am7  Em7
Turn it around
                 Em7               Am7    D  Am7  Em7
Make way for the lady and turn it around
