Chords for Charlie Rich ~ Life has It's Little Ups and Downs ~

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I don't know how to tell her [Bb] that I didn't get that raise and [F] pay today _ _ _
And _ _ [Eb] I know how much she wanted [Bb] the dress in Baker's window
[F] And it breaks my [Bb] heart to see her [F] have to wait
[Bb] And [F] cancel all the [Bb] plans she made to [F] celebrate
Take _ [Eb] _
_ it [Bb] with a smile _ [F] and not a frown
_ _ _ _ She knows that life has its little ups and downs
Like ponies on a [C] merry [F]-go-round
And [Eb] no one breaks the brass ring [Bb] every time
But she [F] don't mind
_ She _ [C] wears a gold ring on [Bb] her finger
And _ [Gm] _ [Bb] _ [F] is mine
The _ _ _ _ _ new house plans we've had so long
[Bb] I guess we'll gather dust another [F] year
And _ _ _ _ [Eb] the daffodils are blooming
That [Bb] she planted way last fall [F] upon the hill
[Bb] And [F] over by the gate
[Bb] Lord [F] knows I hate to [Bb] say again we'll [F] have to wait
But you [Eb] can bet that she'll just take it
[Bb] With a smile and [F] not a frown _
_ _ She knows that life has its little ups and downs
_ Like ponies on a merry-go-round
_ [Eb] And no one grabs the brass ring [Bb] every time
But [F] she don't mind
She _ wears [C] a gold ring _ [Bb] on her finger
And _ I'm so glad that it's [F] mine
She _ _ _ [C] wears a gold ring [Bb] on her finger
And _ I'm so glad [F] that it's mine _ _ _ _
