My list (intro)

1. Under an old brass paperweight

F Am - Dm

is my list of things to do today.

F - Dm

Go to the bank and the hardware store,

G - G7

put a new lock on the cellar door.

C F C G

I cross ‘em off as I get ‘em done, but when the sun it set,

Am C F Dm

there's still more than a few things left I haven't got to yet.

C G Am G

Go for a walk, say a little prayer, take a deep breath of mountain air,

F C Dm G

put on my glove, play some catch, it's time that I made time for that.

C G Am G

Wade the shore, cast a line, look up an old lost friend of mine,

F C Dm

sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss,

G G7 C

start livin', that's the next thing on my list.

2. Wouldn't change the course of fate,

F Am - Dm

if cutting the grass just had to wait,

F - Dm

'cause I've got more important things,

G - G7

like pushing my kid on a backyard swing.

C F C G

I won't break my back for a million bucks I can't take to my grave,

Am C F Dm

so why put off for tomorrow, what I could get done today ?

D A

Raise a litte hell, laugh till it hurts,

Bm A

put an extra five in the plate at church,

G D Em A

call up my folks just to chat, it's time that I made time for that.

D A Bm A

Stay up late an oversleep, show her what she means to me,

G D Em

catch up on all the things I've always missed,

A D - A - Bm - A

just start livin', that's the next thing on my list.

Under an old brass paperweight

is my list of things to do today.
