BOREDOM
  Words and Music by John Sebastian
  
  (Played with a relaxed country shuffle)
  
  C         F            D7  G7            C
  Boredom, hangin` by myself in a bleak motel
        Dm         G7    C
  over-night in a small town
  C        F                  D7    G7               C
  Boredom, my mind`s counting time Trucks go rollin` by
            Dm        G7      C
  past the pumps and highway signs
  
  F                                     C
  Never was a place that felt less like home
  D7                                    G7
  Never would`ve come here if I`d only known
              C
  That it`s a one channel town and I`m all alone
     G7
  I can`t just sit and watch my telephone
         C
  `Cause no-one knows my number, and it can`t be found
              G7
  And there`s no good people just kickin` around
     Am
  So here we are together machine and me
     D7                      G7
  I feel about as local as a fish in a tree
  
           C         F           D7   G7            C
  And it`s Boredom, hangin` by myself in a bleak motel
        Dm         G7   C
  over-night in a small town
  C        F                   D7   G7               C
  Boredom, my mind`s counting time Trucks go rollin` by
           Dm         G7      C
  past the pumps and highway signs
  
  F                                           C
  And in this town all the other sounds have ceased
           D7      
  And The Late Late Show died long ago
          G7
  With a few words from a priest
  
  C         F             D7   G7          C
  Boredom, hangiin` by myself in a bleak motel
        Dm          G7    C     Dm  G7   C
  Over-night in a small town
  
  
  An F. K. Tab,, Enjoy!!!!

You're missing a bridge.

(John B Sebastian)

1.   Boredom Hangin' by myself In a bleak motel

    Overnight in a small town.


2.   Boredom My mind's countin' time Trucks go rollin' by

    Past the pumps and highway signs.


br. Never was a place that felt less like home

    Never would've come here if I'd only known

    That it's a one-track town and I'm all alone

    I can't just sit and watch my telephone

    'Cause no one knows my number and I can't be found

    And there's no good people just kickin' around

    So here we are together, machines and me

    I feel about as local as a fish in a tree, and it's

vs 2


br. And in this town all the other sounds have ceased

    And the Late,Late Show died long ago

    With a few words from a priest.

Another last line occurred to me this morning, which would follow D.M.'s reading "And in this town all the other sounds have ceased/and the late late show died long ago, with a few words from a priest" (follows the second "overnight in a small town", and is then followed by the "My mind's..." line again).

I learned it as a ".....One Channel town...." but whose to argue in the digital age. :-)

Boredom
Hangin' by myself
In a bleak motel
Overnight in a small town.
Boredom
My mind's countin' time (tires?)
Trucks go rollin' by
Past the pumps and highway signs.
Never was a place that felt less like home
Never would've come here if I'd only known
That it's a one-track town and I'm all alone
I can't just sit and watch my telephone
'Cause no one knows my number and I can't be found
'N' there's no good people just kickin' around
So here we are together, machines and me
I feel about as local as a fish in a tree, and it's
Boredom
Hangin' by myself
In a bleak motel
Overnight in a small town...

I need the lyrics to Boredom by John Sebastian (The Lovin' Spoonful). What I know follows:

Boredom My mind's countin' time The trucks keep rollin' by In this ... one-horse town

There never was a place that seemed so much unlike home And there never was a time when I felt so all alone

... I can't sit and wait by the telephone 'cause no one knows my number and it can't be found...
