"A Slow Simmer Like Soup" Original Song Ukulele(Bring the Song Challenge September)

Lazy and optimistic blues about life and the establishment of marriage. You've got your life, somebody else has theirs, you each do your thing and one day you make an even trade. You each share what you've got, what you've experienced, and what your life means. You marry the right person.




Am Bm7
Yes, I walked 4,000 miles
Am C
And crossed 4 continents
Am Bm7
I fought fever and chills
Cmaj7 D
And more than a few cheap thrills.

Ive seen jungles ignite from a firefly
Dont wanna see the love
of a good man pass me by.

Ive seen red sky at morn
and red sky at night.
And more than once Ive given up
without so much as a fight.

I have climbed like a monkey,
I have swum like a fish.
Id have a flying rug if I had my wish.

Chorus:
A7 D7
Oh Baby I'll give you me
and you give me you.
If we like what we see,
I know just what to do.
How do you do?

Whirl, 3 hundred 60 degrees,
stop in my tracks if I please.
I've breathed the dust of the road,
do not want to kiss a toad.

Once on a dark night
held a star in my hand,
Sneezed and it sifted
right thru like sand.

I've stomped my feet to the drum
and cried "whatever may come!"
Tried to extinguish the sun
with no more than my thumb.

My home became the air,
come close and breathe it with me.
A slow simmer like soup,
sugar, that is the key.

Chorus
