Chords

As recorded by Jesse Welles (2025 release) [Verse 1]
G
When I was just a kid down in Arkansas,

G
There was a place I'd go to get away from it all

        C                       G
And I'd sing along with all the tunes

         D
Yeah, my folks did what they's able

D
But we didn't have the cable

                                             G
So, we pointed that antenna way on up to the moon

          C
And I was riding on the Rainbow

                   G
Chilling with Miss Frizzle and her lizard on the Magic School Bus

             A7
Was counting 1 2 3 doing my ABC's

     D7
With all my little buddies down on Sesame Street.

Do ti la so fa mi re

Don't you know them shows were a hoot and a half?

  D7
A purple dinosaur is a friend indeed

        C
Being a kid was hard I'll confess

But it was better with PBS.
[Verse 2]
G                           C      G
Mr. Rogers taught me how to tie my shoes

G
He said, "Be patient with yourself

              D       G
And don't you get the blues

C                                 G
Child, take all the time that you need

        D                                              G
But you don't eat the fruit the day that you plant the seed.

C
Cancel the news, they can all go broke,

        G
But Mr. Rogers was good for the folks."

          C
And I was huffin' and a puffin' with Thomas the train

Little doggy wishbone was cracking the case

Old man Pappy taught me how to draw

On a big comfy couch with a big red dog

Cancel the news, they're dead to me

Let the kids have a little TV
