Walk or Ride The Ditty Bops Transcribed by Christine James ([email protected]) and Matthew Hardaway [Am] With just one kiss [D] you could change the world It [G] might not be much [C] better but it certainly couldn’t [Am] hurt When you stomp your feet you [D] aren’t hurting me But you’re [G] always killing [C] something just by living on the [Am] earth [Am] So who you supposed to listen [D] to When you’re [Gm] looking for something to [C] do And [F] all the voices shut you [B] up ‘Cause [E] someone put a brick in your [C] coffee [Am] cup When you’re trying to de[D]cide whether to [Gm]walk or to [C] ride Take the [F] easy way; you [B] know that you want [E] to I saw an educated girl give her hair a twirl And contemplate the meaning of a man with just one arm She’s not a genius or a dunce but it makes no difference For at any moment we might find ourselves a charm But I’m feeling quite confused by the people who refuse to see A simple way of life don’t make you the loser They say we won’t make it far if we don’t drive there in a car But we’ll be there with time to spare and find our own way home You might find the meaning of life in the barrel of a rifle If it’s pointed at a bird or if it’s pointed at your head But me, I’d rather plant a tree that grows up tall for all to see Until I need a pencil -- then I’ll chop it to the ground At night falling down will it make a sound Should I even wonder what it’d say It’s so hard to change yourself; easier to tell someone else That everything is gonna be okay Ooooh…
