We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray
She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died
If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
and attacked the ocean bed
Hey folks. Here's a version that's both correct AND easy to play--something that hasn't yet been made for this song. Capo two seems to be a nice key.

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
F C G
It doesn't matter, anyhow

And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

If you don't know by now

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
F D D7
Look out your window and I'll be gone
C G Am F
You're the reason I'm traveling on
C G C G
Don't think twice, it's alright
-------------------------------------
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never known
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
---------------------------------------
I'm walking down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye is too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better, but I don't mind
You just sort of wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
---------------------------------------
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in calling out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinking and a-wondering walkin down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's all right
In the early mornin' rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart, and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home, and I miss my loved one so
In the early mornin' rain with no place to go.
Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go
But I'm out here on the grass where the pavement never grows
Well the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast
There she goes my friend, she's a rollin' down at last.
Hear the mighty engine roar, see the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the mornin' rain don't fall and the sun always shines
She'll be flyin' over my home in about three hours time.
This old airport's got me down, it's no earthly good to me
Cause I'm stuck here on the ground,
Cold and drunk, as I might be.
Can't jump a jet plane like you can a freight train
So I'd best be on my way in the early mornin' rain.
So I'd best be on my way in the early mornin' rain
