Hey, the first tab i decided to publish actually is much different than my usual
stuff. This one has a kind of "beach feel" to it, and has an elementary chord
rogression. But it's a catchy tune, and i have a few fans who like it, so here it is:
Chords:
D: X X 0 11 10 10
G: X X 0 7 8 7
A: X X 0 6 5 5
Throughout the sing, the strumming pattern stays the same:
1 & - & - & - & 1 & - & - & -&...
Thats a down, up, up, up, up down up, up, up, up,... Kinda give it a jazzy feel though.
Well, anyway, the song is fairly quick, and the verses stream together
pretty closely. Here are the lyrics with the chords:
Intro:

Spend all day, lying in bed,

Good Morning America playing in my head,
G D
Sunlight streaming warmly through the window now.

My baby's got her head lying across my chest, and all is right with the

Breakfast is served in bed on a tray:

Homemade eggs, no Bojangles hot cakes,

G D
Taking a forkful and placing it in your lovely mouth.
A G D
I smile, birds chirp, church bells ring, and you blink the sleep out of
your gorgeous eyes.
Verse 3:

Cell phone's off, the computer''s shut down,

No one's gonna ruin this perfect moment,
G D
All snuggled up in this soft, white, cotton wonderland.
A G D
Nothing could be any beter than this.
Verse 4:

Life's normal stressors left on the dresser,

I'm taking my time like my predecessors,

And the best point of view is under the sheets on a Sunday.
