Misc Originals – Craig Leggat - Cicada Yadda (Guitar)

E
One hot summer many years ago

E
My next door neighbour was a man named Joe

A
I saw him one bright nightstanding under a tree

B
I thought he was there just taking a pee

E
But then he turned around and said to me

A
"Listen to those cicadas

E
I said to Joe "I can't hear a word you say

E
those cicadas are singing like the end of days"

A
Joe turned to me and then he said

B
"Listen with your chest and not with your head"

E
"Give your ears a rest and listen with your chest"

E
"Give your ears a rest and listent with your chest"

A
"Give your ears a rest and listen with your chest"

B
"Give your ears a rest and listent with your chest"

E
Give your ears a rest and listen, really listen with your chest."

E
I travelled the world for many years

E
Searching for the one but finding oceans of tears

A
And every time I couldn't get free

B
I remembered old Joe standing under that tree saying

E
"Give your ears a rest and listen with your chest"

E
"Give your ears a rest and listent with your chest"

A
"Give your ears a rest and listen with your chest"

B
"Give your ears a rest and listent with your chest"

E
"Give your ears a rest and listen, really listen with your chest."

E
Now many years later with a family of my own

A
I heard that Joe was in a nursing home

B
My kids and I visited him there and what did we see

E
Old Joe was standing underneath a tree

E
Joe looked at me and said with zest

E
"You've been listening with your chest"

E
"Give your ears a rest and listen with your chest"

A
"Give your ears a rest and listen with your chest"

B
"Give your ears a rest and listen with your chest"

E
"Give your ears a rest and listen, really listen, with your chest"
