[A]
[Bb] [Fm]
[C] I'm going to sing a song.
You [F] know it's hard
loving another [Fm] man's girlfriend
[Bb] Can't you
got to see her
when you can
We [F] may be [Am] fighting losing [Bb] battle
but [Fm] having a lot of [Bb] fun
[F] for a cloudy
[Bb] [C] wind
[F] [Ab]
[C] I [F] thought it over
these two points
I found out
in [Bb] one way or another
Ain't no good for two
We may [F] be [Am] fighting
losing [Bb] battle
but having a lot of [C] fun
[F] for a cloudy wind
I [Bb] watch the sun
in her eyes
fever until it fades [F] away
I have [A] nothing
but [Bb] sleepless nights [C] days
and endless days
[F] I ask my baby
should I go away
[Bb] men's hearts need to read
Do you need a song
We [Am] may be fighting losing [Bb] battle
but [F] having a lot of fun
[Am] for [F] a cloudy wind
Just one time for yourself
We may [Am] be fighting [Bb] losing battle
but [Cm] having [Bb] a lot of [E] fun
[F] for a cloudy wind
[Bb] Just [F] one time for me now
We may be [A] fighting [Bb] fighting
but having a lot of [F] fun
for a cloudy wind
We may be [Am] fighting [Bb] losing battle
but having a lot of [F] fun
for a cloudy wind
[Bb]
[F] Whoo!
That's a beautiful tune.
[N] It sure is.
Hey, before they turn off those cameras,
I think we ought to tell anybody out there
who likes to learn the words of that song,
you can get it.
It's published.
That's Peter, Paul, and Mary recorded,
isn't it?
A &M Twins.
So that's the best thing, you know.
Brownie would be glad if you'd learn his songs and sing them.
We've got two records on it.
Yeah, I'm going to make it possible for these lyrics
to get out a little more.
