	                                          of this which I
	                                          haven't done yet

Verse 2:

	Leroy, boy, you're my friend
	You say how and I'll say when

	You may not ever get this chance again
	That empty feeling's just about to end

	       They may be stupid but they sure are fun
	Ebmaj7                                Dm7      G
