On and On
Stephen Bishop (c) 1975
C Am C Am
Down in Jamaica they got lots of pretty women
C Am Dm7 G7
Steal your money then they break your heart
C Am C Am
Lonesome Sue, she’s in love with ol’ Sam
Dm7 G7 C Am
She take him from the fire into the fryin’ pan
CHORUS:
Dm7
On and on
F/G
She just keeps on trying
C A7 A7+
And she smiles when she feels like crying
Dm7 G7 C Am C Am
On and on, on and on, on and on
C Am C Am
Poor ol’ Jimmy sits alone in the moonlight
C Am Dm7 G7
Saw his woman kiss another man
C Am C Am
So he takes a ladder, steals the stars from the sky
Dm7 G7 C Am
Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry
[repeat Chorus]
TAG:
Dm7 Em7
When the first time is the last time
Dm7 F/G C7
It can make you feel so bad
Dm7 Em7
But if you know it, show it
Am7 D7 Dm7 C Am
Hold on tight, don’t let her say «Goodnight.»
C Am C Am
I got the sun on my shoulders and my toes in the sand
C Am Dm7 G7
My woman’s left me for some other man
C Am C Am
Ah, but I don’t care — I’ll just dream and stay tanned
Dm7 G7 C Am
Toss up my heart and see where it lands.
