Lather chords
Jefferson Airplane
Capo III
[Am] [C] [G]
[Am]Lather was [C]thirty years [G]old today,
they [Em]took away [D]all of his [C]toys.
His [Am]mother sent [C]newspaper [G]clippings to him,
about his [Em]old friends who'd [D]stopped being [C]boys.
There was [Em]Harwitz E. [D]Green, just [F]turned thirty [D]three,
his [Am]leather chair [Em]waits at the [D]bank.
And [Em]Sargent Dow [D]Jones, twenty [F]seven years [D]old,
[Am]commanding his [Em]very own [D]tank.
But [C]Lather still [D]finds it a [Em]nice thing to do,
to [C]lie about [D]nude in the [Em]sand
Drawing [C]pictures of [D]mountains that [Em]look like bumps,
and [D]thrashing the air with his [Am]hands.[A]
But [A]wait, oh Lather's pro[G]ductive you know,
he [A]produces the [G]finest of [A]sound
Putting drumsticks on either [G]side of his nose,
[A]snorting the [G]best licks in [A]town; [Am] [G] [D] [Am] [G] [D]
but [E]that's all over
[Am] [G] [D] [Am] [G] [D]
[Am]Lather was [C]thirty years [G]old today,
and [Em]Lather came [D]foam from his [C]tongue.
He [Am]looked at me [C]eyes wide and [G]plainly said,
is it [Em]true that I'm [D]no longer [C]young? (mommy?)
And the [Em]children [D]call him [F]fam[D]ous,
what the [Am]old men [Em]call in[D]sane
And [Em]some[D]times he's so [F]name[D]less,
that he [Am]hardly [Em]knows which [D]game to play;
which [C]words to say
And I [C]should have [D]told him, "[Em]no, you're not old."
And I [C]should have [D]let him go [Em]on, [D]smiling, baby [Am]wide.
[Am] [G] [D] [Am] [G] [D]
