Tom: E

Verso:

I prefer walking rather than

running down the street,
E            D		      A
I prefer smiling rather than frowning
		           A
at the people I might meet
            E                     D
If it were up to you would you
           A			A
look at it the same? The same way that I do
                             E
Don’t say you’d close your eyes,
                                  D
And have no voice of opinion
A				A
of what lies before you? I’d say shame on you
