Simon & Garfunkel – Red Rubber Ball (Ukulele)

D             Bm          C          D
I should have known you'd bid me farewell.

                       Bm
There's a lesson to be learned from this

         C               D7
and I've learned it very well.

C                 D
Now I know you're not 

         D               Em
the only starfish in the sea.

     Am              Bm
If I never hear your name again 

     C               B7
it's all the same to me.

      Em
And I think it's gonna be all right.

Am
Yeah, the worst is over now,

    D                             C          D    Em D7
The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball.

D         Bm        C              D
You never cared for secrets I'd confide.

                    Bm
For you I'm just an ornament,

C                  D7
Something for your pride.

C               D
Always running, never caring,

D                   Em
That's the life you live. 

Am             Bm
Stolen minutes of your time 

     C              B7
were all you had to give.

      Em
And I think it's gonna be all right.

Am
Yeah, the worst is over now,

    D                             C          D    Em D7
The morning sun is shining like a red rubber ball.

    D              Bm        C            D
The story's in the past with nothing to recall.

                    Bm
I've got my life to live and I 

C                 D7
don't need you at all

C                  D
The roller coaster ride we took is

D            Em
nearly at an end.

Am                 Bm
I bought my ticket with my tears, 

C                    B7
that's all I'm gonna spend.

      Em
And I think it's gonna be all right.

Am
Yeah, the worst is over now,

    D                             C          D
