Jim O'Rourke

Composed by: Burt Bacharach / Hal David / Jim O\'Rourke
key: D Tuning: E A D G B E
Dmaj9                                   Bm9
Like a grain of sand that wants to be a rolling stone
          Em7
I want to be the man I'm not,

and have the things
    A7(sus4)
I really
        Dmaj7             Gmaj7
haven't got, and that's a lot.

(Refrain)

There'll be joy

        F#m7    Em7
and there'll be laughter.
Dmaj7            Gmaj7           Gm6
Something big is what  I'm after now
          Bm7      A     Gmaj
Yes, it's what I'm after now.
              F#m7    Em7
After taking, take up giving,
Dmaj7            Gmaj7             Gm6
something big is what  I'm living  for.
          Bm7       A     Gmaj7
Yes, it's what I'm living for,
       Bmaj7
living for.

Dmaj9                      Bm9
Why do I go on and fill my life with little things
               Em7
when there are big things I must do,
                       A7(sus4)
and lots of dreams that really
            Dmaj7           Gmaj7
should come true before I'm through.

(Refrain)
There'll be joy… (and so on)
              F#m7    Em7
After taking, take up giving… (and do on)
