The Role You Choose

G  D  Em    Am    G  D

[Verse 1]
         G                 Em
When you live your life as Charlie Brown
    C         G         Am
You sometimes smile you mostly frown
    G                   Em            C
You sometimes float you mostly drown
               Am              D
'Cause you are Charlie Brown


[Verse 2]
         G                     Em
When you miss the chances, you miss the clues
    C         G      Am
You know just how it feels to lose
        G                Em       D       C
And you know that is the role you choose
             Am      G
Then you are Charlie Brown


[Chorus]
     C       D       G         Em      C
Yes, you are Charlie Brown, my friend
        D       G
You are Charlie Brown
    C          D      G      Em
And though you try to fly it right
C                     G     D
Still your kite comes down


[Verse 3]
         G                 Em
When you live your life as Charlie Brown
    C         G          Am
You play King Lear, they call you clown
     G                  Em          C
They say there's one in every town
              Am             D
Who's name is Charlie Brown


[Verse 4]
         G                  Em
When you pitch that ball it comes right back
C        G          Am
So you defend while they attack
         G      Em    D               C
Then you find a quiet place to crack
               Am      G
'Cause you are Charlie Brown


[Instrumental]
C  D  G  D  Em  C  D  G
C  D  G  Em  C  Am    D


[Bridge]
C
Still your kite, still your kite
                      D
Still your kite comes down

Good old Charlie Brown


[Verse 5]
         G                 Em
When you live your life as Charlie Brown
    C           G     Am
You know you'll never wear that crown
    G                 Em            C
You know you'll never find renown
               Am             D
'Cause you are Charlie Brown


[Verse 6]
    G                   Em
Oh, Mister Schultz, you know me well
  C      G      Am
I see it in the tales you tell
        G                  Em      D     C
For you know that heaven's made in hell
             Am      G
When you are Charlie Brown
         G                  Em      D     C
Yes, you know that heaven's made in hell
             Am      C   G
When you are Charlie Brown__
