Words & music by Paul Simon 1975
|E | |A |D9 |E |G#7sus4 |
Some folks' lives roll easy as a breeze
G#7 |C#m7 Cm7|Bm7 | |
Drifting through a sum--mer night
|E |A | |
Heading for a sunny day
|G# |C#m |C#m7 |F#m |
But most folks' lives, oh they stumble
B |E |
Lord they fall
G#7sus4 |G#7 |C#m7 Cm7 |Bm7 |
Through no fault of their own
|E |A | | | |
Most folks never catch their stars
Bm |
And here I am, Lord
|E | |A |
I'm knocking at your place of business
D9 |G# |C# |F#7-9 |
I know I ain't got no business here
Bm |Em7 |A9 |Dmaj7
But you said if I ever got so low
|Gmaj7 |C# |
I was busted,
F# |B | | |
You could be trusted
|E | |A |
Some folks' lives roll easy
D9 |E |G#7sus4 |
Some folks' lives
G#7 |C#m E/B |A | |G#7 |
never roll at all
|C#m | | |
Oh, they just fall
|F#m | |
They just fall
B7 | |E | |A |D9 |E |
Some folks' lives
