Aretha

Intro: Bb  Gm  Eb  F

       Bb  Gm  Eb
I got Aretha in the Morning
 F                                      Bb
High on my headphones and walking to school
F          Bb  Gm     Eb
I got the blues in springtime
      F                                    Eb  Ebm
cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

Bb                                    Cm
Momma she'd notice but she's always crying
                    Dm
I got no-one to confide in
  F                 Bb
Aretha, nobody but you

Momma she'd notice but she's always fighting
something in her mind
and it sounds like breaking glass

       Bb  Gm  Eb
I got Aretha in the Morning
 Cm                        F             Bb
High on my headphones and walking to school
F          Bb  Gm     Eb
I got the blues in springtime
      Cm                      F            Eb  Ebm
cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

             Eb
You got the words
        Bb
Baby you got the words
             Eb
You got the words
        Bb
Baby you got the words

  Bb                           Cm
Aretha, Aretha I don't want to go to school
        F
Cause they just don't understand
 Bb
And I think the place is cruel

Child singer, raise your voice
Stand up on your own
Go out there and strike out

G        C  Am        F
I tell Aretha in the morning
 Dm                        G            C
High on my headphones and walking to school
G         E7 Am       Dm
I got the blues in springtime
                              G              F  Fm
Cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

               C
But I got the words
