We got sun-light on the sand,

We get mov-ies, we get shows,
-1 -1 -1 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3
We get speech-es from our skip-per

We feel rest-less, we feel blue,
-1 -1 -1 3 3 3 3
We feel lone-ly and in grief,
-1 -1 -1 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3
We feel ev-‘ry kind of feel-in’,
-3 -3 -1 -3 -3 -3 -3
But the feel-in’ of re-lief
-1 -1 -1 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4
We feel hun-gry as the wolf felt

There ain’t a thing that’s wrong
-3 4 4 -3 4
with an-y man here
4 4* -3 4* -3 4* 4* -3 4*
That can’t be cured by put-tin’ him near

A girl-y, wom-an-ly, fe-male,
-5 -5 -5 7
Fem-in-ine dame!
