Red Rubber Ball Chords by Simon & Garfunkel

_ _ _ _ _ _ I imagine most of you know that these are all Paul Simon songs that we're singing.
There is amongst the 23 or 24 songs that Paul has written,
there's one that we have never recorded.
It's about the only one.
And a group called The Circle [N] beat us to it, recorded it, and sold 890,000 copies of it, _
_ called Red Rubber Ball.

_ _ I [C#m] should have known [A] you'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson [C#m] to be learned from this [Bm] and I learned it [E] very well
_ Now I [B] know you're not the [A] only starfish in [F#m] the sea
I'll never [C#m] hear your name [D] again, that's all it [C#] seems to me
[F#m] And I think it's gonna be [B] alright
Yeah, the worst is over [E] now
The sun is shining like your [A] red rubber ball
[F#m] You _ _ _ [C#m] never care for [A] secrets I confide
To you [C#m] I'm just an ornament, [Bm]
something [E] for your pride
_ Always [F#] running, never caring, that's the life [F#m] you live
So [C#m] when minutes of your [D] time are all you had [C#] to give
And I think [F#m] it's gonna be [F#] alright
Yeah, the worst is over [E] now
The sun is shining [A] like your red rubber ball
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [A] _
Season [D] passed with nothing [A] to recall
I've got my [C#m] life to live and [Bm] I don't need you at [E] all
[D] The rollercoaster ride to [A] Texas is nearly [F#m] at an end
[Bm] I've bought my tickets [C#m] with my tears, that's [D] all I'm gonna spend
And [F#m] I think it's gonna be alright
[Bm] Yeah, the worst is over [E] now
The morning sun is shining like [F#m] your red rubber ball
I think it's gonna be alright
[Bm] Yeah, the worst is over [E] now
The morning sun is shining [D] like your red rubber [A] ball
[E] It's bouncing and it's shining [F#] like your red [A] rubber ball
