Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu The Dozens Oleh Caroline Herring

CAPO: 4th Fret

I had a few more

questions
I never knew to ask
You were feeling downhearted
The last time we parted

With the shock of the white hair
Life has changed a

lot you know
And I’m kind of scared of that
It bottoms out in seconds flat

You said you had a good friend
He died so

needlessly
Knocked over by a garbage truck
They threw him down, then they picked him up

And your son was back home again
Your little boy and his

children
He’s fighting off a mean disease
That’s killing off his faculties

CHORUS:

Tell me a little joke
Let’s play the dozens
Say something about my mama
In a veiled quadrille round
I’m just a white girl
From a segregated town
And I’m looking for some answers
That I haven’t found

I remember Memphis
Like it was

yesterday
And a Ford station wagon
So full of us, it was dragging

With your books in our grasping hands
We heard you speak, we

made our plans
To hoist the flag and rule the world
All the hopes we had unfurled

CHORUS:

Tell me a little joke
Let’s play the dozens
Say something about my mama
In a veiled quadrille round
I’m just a white girl
From a segregated town
And I’m looking for some answers
That I haven’t found

BRIDGE:

I want to be just like you
I want to love first, I do
Look people in the eye
Make them feel good
Then I’ll make them think
Just like you would

Y’all were off on a

night stroll
Down the capitol boulevards
You were emboldening another son
Of this grand nation

I would vote for you for president
But you’re floating with the

butterflies
Soaring with the seagulls
Or the eagle as he takes the skies

Let’s eat some democratic soup
And Eastern

Market cheese
Meals with you and Cornelia
Were my most precious memories

I don’t know what the hell to do
Please give me a

little tap
Tell me I can take it
That I won’t bottom out in seconds flat
