Steve Forbert - Responsibility Lyrics

Capo fret 3 [Live version, Ferrara, Italy, 1998]



[A min] Poor ole surrender [G] Mimosa, fin'ly burnt out by the [A min] sun

I feel pretty burnt [C] out myself

when the [G] long, hot summer is [A min] done

[A min] summertime's long been my [G] fav'rite, now I can't grab it no [A min] more

can't find no time for [C] a fish on the line

or that [G] swing in the old [A min] Sycamore

I'm in such a [F] hurry now

it [C] starts to [G] worry me

stop an' smell the roses?

[A min] baby I can't hardly see

[F] no, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be, but

[G] I've got so much [A min] responsibility

baby, you know how I'm [G] working, sorry I'm busy so [A min] much

sorry those days when the [C] world went our way

are so [G] hard to return to [A min] an'touch

maybe our future looks [G] brighter, maybe our ship will come [A min] in

maybe these years an'these [C] muletrain careers

will be [G] things we wont think about [A min] then

but

I'm in such a [F] hurry now

it [C] starts to worry [G] me

stop an' smell the roses?

[A min] baby I can't hardly see

[F] no, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be, but

[G] I've got so much [A min] responsibility

[F] competition's heavy on a hard line wreckin'crew

[A min] the good ones never leave an'still

there's always some one new

[F] pressure comes down hard up on a top notch rivet team

[G] we don't get time to pace ourselves,

we don't stand around and [A min] dream

Poor ole surrender [G] Mimosa, fin'ly burnt out by the [A min] heat

I feel pretty burnt [C] out myself

when I [G] make that ole turn down [A min] our street

summertime's long been my [G] fav'rite, now it's ole autumn [A min] I love

summertime fun on some [C] beach in the sun

is not [G] somethin' I'm seein' much [A min] of

I'm in such a [F] hurry now

it [C] starts to worry [G] me

stop an' smell the roses?

[A min] baby I can't hardly see

[F] no, I aint forgotten just how good it all can be, but

[G] I've got so much [A min] responsibility
