"Quiet" by Malvina Reynolds

3/4 Open Tuning

Intro: A augmentedA  E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE

A augmentedA             E MajorE                 A augmentedA
I don't know much about much, and what I don't know I don't say,

DmDm             A augmentedA E7E7  A augmentedA
and when I have nothing to say I'm quiet.

D MajorD             A augmentedA           E7E7         A augmentedA
If there's occasion to holler I'll try it, I can make noise with the best,

DmDm               A augmentedA E7E7  A augmentedA
But most of the rest of the time I'm quiet.

A augmentedA              E MajorE              A augmentedA
I've made mistakes in the past, things that I blush over yet,

DmDm             A augmentedA E7E7   A augmentedA
but I hardly ever regret having been quiet.

A augmentedA        E MajorE             A augmentedA
I have a TV at home, and I do truly enjoy it.

DmDm           A augmentedA    E7E7  A augmentedA
I can just leave it alone, and it's quiet.

D MajorD             A augmentedA            E7E7         A augmentedA
If there's occasion to holler I'll try it, I can make noise with the best,

DmDm              A augmentedA E7E7  A augmentedA
But most of the rest of the time I'm quiet.

A augmentedA          E MajorE           A augmentedA
I'm not unsociable no, people are fine in repose,

DmDm              A augmentedA  E7E7   A augmentedA
somehow my favorites are those who are quiet.

A augmentedA            E MajorE           A augmentedA
Quiet's a wonderful sound, better than oboe or fiddle

DmDm             A augmentedA       E7E7  A augmentedA
Someday I'm going to be found in the middle of quiet.

D MajorD             A augmentedA           E7E7          A augmentedA
If there's occasion to holler I'll try it, I can make noise with the best,

DmDm             A augmentedA E7E7   A augmentedA
But most of the rest of the time I'm quiet.

A augmentedA            E MajorE               A augmentedA
Sing me a song of the sea, soft as the breath of the breeze,

DmDm              A augmentedA  E7E7  A augmentedA
sing me to sleep and then please keep quiet.
