How Can I

[Intro] Dm   C F  C

Dm         C           G7            C
The local radio  says sorry time to go
              Dm       C
But I don't sleep too well
                 G7                       C
Where are those Southern Belles

   G                       F
Trying to get a telephone line
   Am              G
through South Caroline
      G                       F        Am     G
Your call may bring somebody down for miles around
     Am          Dm     C
I'm watching her eyes again
G       F       Dm       C  (Dm  C  F  C)
I won't use no fountain pen

     Dm         C
The lady isn't here.
     G7              C
The message wasn't clear
     Dm            C              G7              C
She left an hour ago,  screamed from the floor below
 G                        F        Am           G
Mother nature never gives in, she wants you to sing
     G           F        Am           G
But how can I go on just singing this song
Am        Bb    Dm    C
My car's out of gas again
 G     F       Dm      C
Hurry home to see my friend

F            Am          Dm    G            C
Money won't help you to win a new look at things
  F           G        Am           Dm
 Loving can bring you down, so you fall
       G                F              Dm
Then why do you still try to get up at all
      Am       Bb        Dm       C
Your good and bad side showing through
   G     F      Dm      C  (Dm   C  F  C)
Problems are a part of you

 Dm            C                    G7          C
You must love someone else or face life by yourself
     Dm           C
You may expect a call
       G7             C
She's waiting in the hall

         G                    F          Am     G
See the garden grows and it grows nobody even knows
             G                  F
And you can wear just any old thing
      Am        G
The show can begin
     Am        Dm       C
I'm falling asleep to dream
G        F         Dm       C       (Dm  C  F  C)
No more hills to climb, it seems

 F           Am          Dm     G            C
Money won't help you to win  a new look at things
      F         G        Am           Dm
 You never give in  so why don't you sing
     G           F        Am           G
But how can I go on just singing this song
    Am   Bb      Dm   C
My car's out of gas again
G        F       Dm      C     (G  F  Dm  C)
I'll be home to see my friend
