[Dm] _ [Am] _ _ _ away and quit that noise, Ms.
[Dm] Lucy
[C] Put [Dm] that music [Dm] book [Gm] away
What's the use to keep on trying?
[Dm] [C] If you practice till [E] you're brave, [A] [E] you can't start no notes or fly like the [Eb] ones that rant and [Dm] reign.
[Am] From [Dm] the kitchen [Am] to the big woods, when Melinda [Eb] sings,
[Dm] he's enough for [G] folks to [Am] holler, looking [G] at the [C] lines and [Gm] dots.
And ain't no one can sense it, and the tune [B] comes in in spots.

As [Dm] I sit and calmly [C] listen, when [Dm] Melinda [C] sings.
