Come on you jolly jumpers, and listen while i humm, as i relate to
                                    C

   G
He sleeps in the dirt and wheres his shirts thats all dirty and full
   C
of crumbs.
                              F                   G
Early in the morning when the due is on the ground the bum arrises
                               C
from his nest and he gazes all around.

Have a Great Day! For this is, "God's recreation of a new day"       (Dont remember who sang thous words but have it written down somewhere
"Morning has broken" is the first line.???Bewildered as usuall.(oops)

And last night was the last night of work for 2 whole weeks..
1st thing on my agenda is learn to play the song "the weight" by the "Band" and after that going to learn a song i was to have learned for a party a month or so back. Done by the group "WEEN" called "Piss up a rope" and after that "Stone temple pilots" "Plush" (acoustic version) I only know how to play by ear so it could take the whole two weeks. Did i mention i was tone deaf..David Allen Coe has a kitty cat song thats a hit pretty dirty thou. Still love to sing it for people one day soon. They get a kick out of it when he does it.?
Thank you for your time and thats mine. "KEEP ON JAMIN" 2 weeks woo!
