Natalie Merchant

Am         Em
It's a pity it's a crying shame

Am         Em
Itâ^À^Ùs a pity itâ^À^Ùs a downright crime

Am     Em
It happens all the time
Am           Em
You want to stay little daddyâ^À^Ùs girl

Am            Em      D    G7
You want to hide from the vicious world outside

C     G
Donâ^À^Ùt cry

      Am        Em
You know the tears will do no good
      F  G
So dry your eyes

Am       Em
Oh, your daddy heâ^À^Ùs the iron man

Am          Em
A battleship wrecked on dry land
Am         Em
Your mamma sheâ^À^Ùs a bitter bride

Am       Em      D
Sheâ^À^Ùll never be satisfied you know

     G    G7
And thatâ^À^Ùs not right


  C     G

But donâ^À^Ùt cry

Am        Em
You know the tears will do no good
      F  G
So dry your eyes

  C       G
Oh, they told you life is hard
Am   Em
Misery from the start
  F     C     D   G7
Itâ^À^Ùs dull itâ^À^Ùs slow itâ^À^Ùs painful

  C     G
But, I tell you life is sweet
Am       Em
In spite of the misery
    F    C    D
Thereâ^À^Ùs so much more be grateful

   F  C    D
Well, who do you believe?
F          C       D
Who will you listen to who will it be?
      F  C        D
Because it's high time that you decide
    G
In your own mind

Am      Em
I've tried to comfort you
Am      Em       D
I've tried to tell you to be patient
  D7
That they are blind and they canâ^À^Ùt see



Am      Em
Fortune gonna come one day
Am        Em
They're all gonna fade away
Am       Em
Your daddy the war machine
Am         Em    D
And your momma the long and suffering
G              C
Prisoner of what she can not see

SOLO:
C  G  Am  Em

F  C  D   G7

  C        G
For they've told you life is hard
Am   Em
Misery from the start
F     C       D   G7
Itâ^À^Ùs dull itâ^À^Ùs slow itâ^À^Ùs painful

  C     G
But, I tell you life is sweet
Am       Em
In spite of the misery
    F    C    D
Thereâ^À^Ùs so much more be grateful



  F  C     D
So, who will you believe?
F          C       D
Who will you listen to who will it be?
      F  C        D
Because it's high time that you decide
      G                   C
Itâ^À^Ùs time to make up your own your own sweet little mind

SOLO:
C  G  Am  Em

F  C  D   G7

 C         G
Oh, they've told you life is long
Am     Em
Be thankful when itâ^À^Ùs done

   F    C    D    G7
Donâ^À^Ùt ask for more be grateful



  C     G
But, I tell you life is short
Am     Em
Be thankful because
F     C        D  G7
Before you know it will be over
      C    G  Am  Em
'Cause life is sweet
  F   C    D  G7
Life is oh so very short
  C    G  Am  Em
Life is sweet
    F   C    D  G7
And life is oh so very short
  C    G  Am  Em
Life is sweet
