The Parsons - Little Things

      C

                     C
It’s a fresh pair of cotton socks
                         F
It’s the sweet sound of skipping rocks
                     G7
It’s late nights and long talks
                   C
‘Round the ol’ campfire.

                        C
And it’s a barbecue and smokies
                   F
Smokin’ 50 dollar stogies
                        G7
It’s a feelin’ when you hold me like you never
                C
Wanna let me go.

[Chorus]
                         Am          E
And it’s when you see an old friend
                     F       F
who’s home for the weekend
                C
And when you’re with them
     G                  C
The skies don’t look so grey
                           Am          E
And in the morning when the bird sings
                        F            F
In the evening when the guitars ring
                 C                  G                    C
Think of all the little things that help me through the days

                       C
Like hot coffee in my favourite cup
                         F
Smell of bacon while I’m waking up
                    G7
And sunsets that make ya sto-op
                    C
Are what I love the most.

                       C
It’s bird-hunting down by the saloons
                     F
With my ol’ man and sister, too
                               G7
Brown dog will bring ‘em back to you
          C
Dead as a post.


[Chorus]
                         Am          E
And it’s when you see an old friend
                    F        F
who’s home for the weekend
                C
And when you’re with them
     G                  C
The skies don’t look so grey
                            Am          E
And in the morning when the bird sings
                          F            F
In the evening when the guitars ring
                 C                  G                    C
Think of all the little things that help me through the days

                          C
It’s fly fishing in your favourite stream
                       F
It’s your best fittin’ pair of jeans
                    G7
And the smell of an ocean breeze
              C
in the afternoon.
                        C
It’s Mama’s cookin’ on Christmas day
                        F
Flowers bloomin’ in the month of May
                       G7
It’s the way that you look at me
                  C
With your eyes so blue.


[Chorus]
                         Am          E
And it’s when you see an old friend
                    F        F
who’s home for the weekend
                C
And when you’re with them
     G                  C
The skies don’t look so grey
                            Am          E
And in the morning when the bird sings
                          F            F
In the evening when the guitars ring
                 C                  G                    C
Think of all the little things that help me through the days

                   C                  G                   C
Oh it’s always the little things that help me through the days.
