Playing Possum Chords by Carly Simon

Playing Possum chords by Carly Simon

Guitar chords with lyrics

E7
We lived up in Cambridge
      G
And browsed in the hippest newsstands
           G
Then we started our own newspaper
           Bm7
Gave the truth about Uncle Sam
E7
We loved to be so radical
             G
But like a ragged love affair
       G
Some became disenchanted
      D
And some of us just got scared

                       A
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
           A
Are you playing possum for a while

E7
Then you moved to the country
        G
Bought a farm and tilled the land
           G
Then you took your books to India
           C
And got hooked on a holy man
E7
But the wells they do run dry
           G
And the speeches turn to words
         G
And the woods are full of tigers
       D
And freedom's for the birds

                      A
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
           A
Are you playing possum for a while

E7
Now you run a bookstore
           G
And you've taken on a wife
            G
You wear patches on your elbows
          C
And you live an easy life
E7
Well, are you finally satisfied
                G
Is it what you were lookin' for
G
Or does it sneak up on you
 D
That there might be something more

                      A
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
           A
Are you playing possum for a while
           A
Are you just playing possum for a while
           A
Are you just playing possum for a while
