Cycles chords by Frank Sinatra

Writer(s): Gayle Caldwell

Verse 1
A               E
So I'm down and so I'm out
    D           E
But so are many others
A               E
So I feel like tryin' to hide
    D                 E          E7
My head 'neath these covers
D                 A
Life is like the seasons
      G                E
After winter comes the spring
A               E
So I'll keep this smile awhile
D            E         A
And see what tomorrow brings

Verse 2
A                  E
I've been told and I believe
    D                   E
That life is meant for livin'
A               E
And even when my chips are low
         D                   E          E7
There's still some left for givin'
D               A
I've been many places
     G                E
Maybe not as far as you
A               E
So I think I'll stay awhile
D            E                A        A7
And see if some dreams come true


Bridge
D                     A
There isn't much that I have learned
D                      A
Through all my foolish years
D                      A          F#m
Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles
B7                                  E
First there's laughter, then those tears


Verse 3 (play as the 1st one)
But I'll keep my head up high
Although I'm kinda tired
My gal just up and left last week
Friday I got fired
You know it's almost funny
But things can't get worse than now
So I'll keep on tryin' to sing
But please, just don't ask me how
