Topic: Covid: The Missing Years
I listened to John Prine yesterday and one my faves of his is " Jesus: The Missing years"
It is brilliant.
So I got the Idea to pay tribute to him since he passed away due to covid related circumstances.
I would suggest listening to his song @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suoJ6mLVBlU before your try to figure mine out.
These are my words and chords ( well actually - his chords 
)
Probably needs work but I'm tired
and I also got my second dose of the Vaccine today !!!
Covid: The Missing Years by Jim Kenyon
[D]It was early March, and Spring was on the way
[G]I looked out my window, looked like a pretty healthy day
Had [A]a lot of plans in mind, so many gigs to play
Never thought a virus, could take them all [D]away
.
[D]Everyone said China, eating bats might be the blame
[G]Doesn’t really matter much, life will never be the same
With [A]numbers, symptoms, strategies , everyday some new facts
what’s the truth, what are lies, and who has got our[D] backs
.
[D]I thought this can’t be happening, it seemed so surreal
[G]People taking temperatures, asking how do you feel
Closing[A] down our schools and even places that we eat
Looking out from my front porch, just see an empty[D] street
.
Chorus
[D]Well Jimmy got quarantined, [G]Arlene wore her mask
[A] Did you get your vaccine, is the question they all [D]ask
[D]Things shut down all around the world, [G]ain’t nothing much to do
[A]Just wishing we could go back in time and 23[D] skidoo
.
[D]Thousands were getting sick, yeah many people up and died
[G]Common folk and celebrities, a whole lot of people cried
No [A]concerts or games to watch, can’t even see our children play
Health care workers on the line, nearly every single [D]day
.
[D]Work from home, meet in zoom, make tik-toc’s to pass the time
[G]Silently stealing our lives away, seems like that should be a crime
Might [A]never gotten that first kiss, lost a summer at the beach
Lost the last chance to hold someone, cause they were out of [D]reach
.
[D]We talk about the future, but seems we’re living in the past
[G]Watching how the world has changed, hidden behind our mask
Can’t [A]give up hope, it’s been to long, wish the end was in sight
but if we all stick together, somehow, we can win this [D]fight
.
Chorus
[D]Well Jimmy got quarantined, [G]Arlene wore her mask
[A] Did you get your vaccine, is the question they all [D]ask
[D]Things shut down all around the world, [G]ain’t nothing much to do
[A]Just wishing we could go back in time and 23[D] skidoo
[A]Just wishing we could go back in time and 23[D] skidoo
[A]Just wishing we could go back in time and 23[D] skidoo
