Don't let the Sunshine Fool Ya'
Guy Clark / Townes Van Zandt: The Late Great Townes Van Zandt (1972)
| B |
| Me and this friend named Streetlife Brown - |
| A | E |
We got a | bottle of red and | walked uptown. |
| B |
One | hand on the jug and one on time - |
| A | E |
He said "I | bet you a dollar against | this next line." - I said: |
| E | B | A | E |
| Don't let the | sunshine fool you, - | Don't let the bluebirds | tool you. |
| E | B | A | E |
| Don't let the | women do you, - | Put your hand in | mine. |
Oh, advice is fine if you got a mind | |
To listen to the end that's got the time. | |
But the muse'll get you if you don't watch out | |
She's equipped to know what it's all about: | |
Don't let the sunshine fool you, - Don't let the bluebirds tool you. | |
Don't let the women do you, - Put your hand in mine. | |
Oh, Fanon street in the afternoon's | |
An easy way to get out of tune. | |
But the hard soap salesman, he said: "No dice." | |
When I asked politely for a better price, and said: | |
Don't let the sunshine fool you, - Don't let the bluebirds tool you. | |
Don't let the women do you, - Put your hand in mine. | |
Well here's a song for you, child of mine, | |
I hope you make it through this time. | |
Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie, | |
No reason in the world that you can't get by: | |
Don't let the sunshine fool you, - Don't let the bluebirds tool you. | |
Don't let the women do you, - Put your hand in mine. | |
