Hey Rosetta! – New Year Song (Guitar)

 G                    D 
 Lend me your walking stick

               C
 And I lean on it

               Am              C          G
 And I walk on out through the snow bound yard

 G                          D
 Past the neighbours on the lawn

                    C
 Drinking last year out

              Am            C        G
 I leave this town, cut the year off clear

 G             D
 Cauterized by leaving

                   C                Am      C 
 Sick and tired of living last year

 G            D                          C
 Roll out the tarmac and baptize the air craft

                Am            C
 Escaping loss and push me off

 G                      D
 The cold can bleach us out

                C 
 And freeze our doubt

                  Am           C           G
 And all that you knew becomes muffled and mute

 G                 D
 But I'm done with it

                   C
 All this standing stiff

                Am         C          G 
 When I move my mouth only snow comes out

 G             D
 Euthanized by whiteness

                C                     Am     C 
 But I'll arise despite this last year

 G               D                      C
 So roll out the tarmac and baptize the aircraft

 C                 Am          C
 Escaping loss and push me off

 G                       D  
 Should old acquaintance be forgot

     Em               C
 And never brought to mind

 G                      D
 Should acquaintance be forgot

     Em   C    G
 And auld lang syne

 G             D   
 For auld lang syne, my dear

     Em        C 
 For auld lang syne

 G                   D 
 We'll take a cup of kindness yet

     Em   C    G
 For auld lang syne

G             D   
 For auld lang syne, my dear

     Em        C 
 For auld lang syne

 G                   D 
 We'll take a cup of kindness yet

     Em   C    G
 For auld lang syne
