Which was waking us up
In the morning

Like fools

Saying my prayers
He was combing his hair
In a country that began with a g d | em c
'J' for jules g d | am c
You know I'll miss you
And thus it begins
But I'll release you
And thus it continues -
Someday we'll be happy again
Oh, the rain never comes
Count my blessings on my thumbs
And the dogs just want to sleep in the
Sun all day g d | am c
You know I'll miss you g d
And thus it begins am c
But I'll release you g d
And thus it continues - am c
Someday we'll be happy again g d | am c
