A little boy has thrown some heavy stones into a pond
Em                                 A
Dusting off his hands he's feeling proud of what he's done

It'??s one thing or another or it's everything at once;
        G                                D
There's two sides to each story, yes and sometimes many more
    Em                            A
And four bananas make a bunch and two times ten's a score

If we weren'??t in so much trouble I would say that things were fine
    F#m                              Em
And smile as I went walking and just wave on down the line;

If there weren'??t so many problems I would say that it'??s okay

And smile as I went walking and just wave on down the way

Mothers hate war more in general than Joint Chiefs of Staff
Em                                A
Battleground statistics don'??t add up in schoolhouse math;
    G                                   D
The male of this here species lives for eighty years or so

Starts to see the mess he's made and then it'??s time to go

I asked this question years ago, it's still worth asking, but
   G                                    D
It all seems stranger now, I think, but that could be just me
    Em                                    A
And I've no all-time gauge of strange for objectivity
