lirik lagu roger mcguinn - pete's song
[pete’s song – pete seeger sings]
(pete, speaking:) is it working?
(roger, speaking:) here we go
there are three things
most beautiful
in all the world we know
nay, there are four
so wonderful
for mortals’ eyes to behold
a bird on the wing
a snake on the rock
and a man and maid in love
one more thing, yes, one more thing
and a ship under sail
plowing the waves
we’ll never know all the how’s and why’s
but we know that we’re here
and if we believe god gave us gifts
he’d want us to use them now
today, this year
to build a world where all can share
the big and small, the low and high
we’ll never know if we’ll succeed
but i believe we must try
[conversation]
(roger:) okay
(pete:) any time you want
(r:) you ready?
(p:) yep
(p:) oh, okay, yeah. um, i’m sorry. i hit the wrong chord there. so, um… maybe i should just lay out. but… no, i’ll play along with you. i’ll get it right. okay
(r:) yeah, play along
(r:) okay
(p:) any time you want
(r:) you ready?
[when the sun goes down – roger mcguinn sings]
well, in the evening
in the evening, mm
baby, when the sun go down
in the evening
baby, when the sun go down
ay-ay-ain’t it lonesome!
ain’t it lonesome
ain’t it lonesome
when the sun go down?
when the fun
the fun is all over
and the liquor’s all gone dry
oh, baby you get to thinking
a man is born to die
i-i-in the evening!
in the evening
in the evening
when the sun go down
when the sun go down
well, the sun rises in the east
sets down in the west
sun rises in the east
sets down in the west
ay-ay-ay-ain’t it hard to tell
ain’t it hard to tell
hard to tell
which one will love you the best
when the sun go down
goodbye my friends and relations
i’ve got to sing that verse again
let me get back to it…
well, goodbye my old sweetheart and pals
i-i-i, i’m going away
i’ll be back to see you all again
some old rainy day
i-i-in the evening
in the evening
in the evening
when the sun go down
when the sun go down
[conversation]
(p:) i can fix up that part
(r:) i realize, i’m used to slightly different chords, along with that last line – and they’re not logical chords
(unknown: this computer, no tapes, no nothing…)
