Topic: "Pack for College Blues"

Our daughter will soon be going off to a college over 500 miles away.
I'm sure the scene described in this song is occuring in many homes right about now.

Pack for College BluesJames McCormick, August 12, 2007


12-bar blues


The [G]less you bring the better, take [G]only what you need


[G]Too much stuff will complicate, [G7]that's a guarantee


[C]Keep it light and simple, just [C]stuff you'll actually use


[G]Leave the rest all behind, you've [G]gotta pick and choose


Do you [D7]really need 63 [C7]pairs of shoes girl?


You're [G]headed off to college, it's not the end of the [D7]world.


You'll be [G]living in a dorm, there's [G]not a lot of space


You won't [G]have an entire house to leave your [G7]junk around the place


You'll have to [C]do your own laundry be-[C]fore it starts to stink


You [G]won't be able to leave your stuff [G]in the bathroom sink



Do you [D7]really need 26 bottles of [C7]stuff for your hair girl?


You're [G]headed off to college, it's not the end of the [D7]world.


[G]Mom and dad will miss you, and [G]little brother too


Your [G]hound dog will be wondering just [G7]where you've gone off to


Your [C]friends are scattering out [C]all across the land


To [G]universities far and wide [G]just like they have planned


You'll [D7]always be your daddy's [C7]precious little girl


You're [C]headed off to college, it's [D7]not the end of the [G]world

Hi James
You certainly bought back memories with this one of when my daughter went off to University.
Missing her being around
3 years of moving her stuff from home to University and back again.
Being so proud when she graduated.
Nice one again.

Regards

Ah James,
Been there! Mixed emotions, but time does fly! The missing does not. You and your wife may even begin to miss the mess!

Old Doll.

Why Blend in with the Crowd ? When you were made to stand out !
