Misc Originals – Alli Payonk - Folklore Medley (Guitar)

G                          D/F#
Green was the color of the grass

                Em                 Bm
Where I used to read at Centennial Park

  G                   D/F#         Em       Bm
I used to think I would meet somebody there

G                          D/F#
Teal was the color of your shirt

                 Em                 Bm
When you were sixteen at the yogurt shop

   G                D/F#               Em  Bm
You used to work at to make a little  money

D
Time, curious time

           Em
Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs

           D                Em
Were there clues I didn't see?

D                          Em
 And isn't it just so pretty to think

                D
All along there was some

      Em
Invisible string

             G  D/F#  Em  Bm
Tying you to me?

G   D/F# Em  Bm
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Am    C
  But we were something, don't you think so?

F   C                                       Dm
   Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool

    C
And if my wishes came true

Dm  C
       It would've been you

Am  C
       In my defense, I have none

F   C                                 Dm
       For never leaving well enough alone

C
But it would've been fun

Dm  C
    If you would've been the one

Dm  C
      (Ooh)

G            Dm          C
Please picture me in the trees

          G
I hit my peak at seven

G            Dm           C
Feet in the swing over the creek

           G
I was too scared to jump in

    G       Dm           C
But I, I was high in the sky

            G            G   Dm
With Pennsylvania under me

           C                  G
Are there still beautiful things?

C       C/B            Am
 Betty, I won’t make assumptions

      Gsus4                 F
About why you switched your homeroom

                          Gsus4
But I think it’s cause of me

C       C/B            Am
 Betty, one time I was riding

      Gsus4             F
on my skateboard when I passed your house

                     Gsus4
It’s like I couldn’t breathe

C             C/B          Am
You heard the rumors from Inez

            Gsus4            F
You can’t believe a word she says most times

                     Gsus4
But this time it was true

    Am          G      C    F
The worst thing that I ever did

    Am     G      F   G
was what I did to you
