im really tired right now, so you can find out the order yourself.


nothing personal, but dont email me if you smell bad, i just dont like people with
poor hygein, no hard feelings.


for anyone else, if you have questions, want the lyrics, are to stupid to find out
the order yourself (in which case ill give you the order), or wanna tell me about
your pony collection, then email me at *


i want to know what you think of my tabs, plus i believe self expression is important,
so please rate this and my other tabs.

(verse 1) 
G                D                             G 
Jeannie had big plans, a ballerina, Broadway bound, 
              D                                    G 
And that '87 Honda, was gonna get her out of this town, 
                 D                          G 
Caviar for breakfast, a limo waiting every night, 
                        D 
White chiffon and black tie,  
                            Am7 
Her name up on the marquee lights, 
                             D 
Oh, how her star was gonna shine, 
Am7                 D     
Oh, but in the meantime 
 
 
(chorus) 
G                G/B 
Make the coffee, read the paper, 
C               D 
Late for work, dreams will wait 'til later, 
G                   G/B 
Get the bills paid, buy the groceries, 
C             D 
No time to stop and smell the roses, 
G               G/B 
Ain't it funny, ain't it fine, 
C            Dsus          D 
How life goes on, in the meantime, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
Bobby had a fast ball, everybody talked about, 
He made it to the minors, struck a hundred batters out, 
But something in his elbow, gave out in the final game, 
He had an operation, never threw quite the same, 
Yeah, he'll be back when his arm is fine, 
Yeah, but in the meantime, 
 
 
(chorus) 
G                G/B 
Make the coffee, read the paper, 
C               D 
Late for work, dreams will wait 'til later, 
G                   G/B 
Get the bills paid, buy the groceries, 
C             D 
No time to stop and smell the roses, 
G               G/B 
Ain't it funny, ain't it fine, 
C            Dsus          D 
How life goes on, in the meantime, 
 
 
 
(lead chords - G - G/B - C - D) 
 
 
 
(bridge) 
Am7                                           G/B 
Now Jeannie takes the girls to dance class Wednesday afternoons, 
     C                          G 
And Bobby coaches Little league, Junior will be pitching soon, 
Am7                                 G/B 
Sometimes at night they laugh about old meant to be's and might have beens, 
   Am7              G/B             C                 D          
But 6 o'clock comes early and it's time to start the day again 
 
 
 
(chorus) 
G                G/B 
Make the coffee, read the paper, 
C               D 
Late for work, dreams will wait 'til later, 
G                   G/B 
Get the bills paid, buy the groceries, 
C             D 
No time to stop and smell the roses, 
G               G/B 
Ain't it funny, ain't it fine, 
C            Dsus          D 
How life goes on, in the meantime, 
G               G/B 
Ain't it funny, ain't it fine, 
C            Dsus          D 
How life goes on, in the meantime,
