Aretha Chords

[Chorus]
 
      G  D
I got Aretha
    C
in the morning
C                                 G
high on my headphones and walking to school
          G  D
I got the blues
   C
in springtime
      C                                     G
Cause I know that I’ll never have the right shoes
 
 
[Verse]
 
G                                  Am
Mama she’d notice but she’s always crying
Am                   G
I got no-one to confide in
Em                G
Aretha nobody but you
G                                      Am
And mama she’d notice but she’s always fighting
Am                 G
something in her mind
Am                 G
and it sounds like breaking glass
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       G  D
I tell Aretha
     C
in the morning
C                                 G
high on my headphones and walking to school
          G  D
I got the blues
   C
in springtime
      C                                     G      D
Cause I know that I’ll never have the right shoes
 
Hold note for 2 seconds
 
 
[Verse]
 
     Em
“You got the words
         G
Baby you got the words
          D
You got the words
        C
Baby you got the words!”
 
G        D
Oh Aretha
                     C
Aretha I don’t wanna go to school
Am
Cause they just don’t understand me
                G
and I think the place is cruel
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G      D
“Child
D
Sing out
C
Raise your voice
Am
Stand up on your own
                 G
Go out there and strike out!”
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       G  D
I tell Aretha
     C
in the morning
C                                 G
high on my headphones and walking to school
          G  D
I got the blues
   C
in springtime
      C                                     G     D
Cause I know that I’ll never have the right shoes
              G
But I got the words
