The Cricket by Jenika Marion
The Cricket
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
* means one strum down
[Verse 1]
G D
In the corner of a front yard
C G
If an old country town
C G D
Sat a cricket, tucked in the grass
G D C G
Well he wondered and pondered the stars and the sky
C G D
And for how long each one's like might last
B Em D G
But he worried that he was the only one
C G C D
Asking questions so darn existential
B Em D G
He looked up to the sky, his hopes not too high
C G C D
He could see no room for potential
[Verse 2]
G D C G
Then he happened upon an old snail right nearby
C G C D
And she shot him a look that was cold as ice
B Em
She said darlin' be careful
D G
With the thoughts in your head
C G C D
There are questions that need not be answered
B Em
'Cause the more that you know
D G C G C D
The more you're alone, you would be your disaster
[Bridge]
C G C G
So the cricket hung his head low
C G C D
That his antenae dragged on the ground
C G C G
Then he saw all the humans come home
C G D
Did they hear when he made his sound
[Verse 3]
G D C G
He cried why, why don't they listen to me
C G C D
When I cry to the night or I sing to the breeze
B Em D G
Oh why was I even born with these wings
C G C D G*
When it's like noone has ears to hear or eyes to see
[Solo]
G D C G
C G C D
B Em D G
C G C D G*
[Verse 4]
G D C G
Now his journey completed across that front yard
C G D
Feeling broken worn down and weary
B Em D G
He looked up in a tree and there sat a jay
C G C D
Looking smug and frankly quite cheery
[Verse 5]
G D C G
He said, son sit down and listen to me
C G C D
If you open your eyes, you will believe
B Em D G
That you're never alone, soon you'll see
C G C D G*
That wherever nature is, your home will be
[Outro]
G D C G
La la la la, la la la la
C G C D
La la la la la la la la
B Em D G
La la la la, la la la
C G C D G*
Wherever nature is, your home will be
C* G* C* D* G*
Wherever nature is, your home will be
