To Hide A Little Thought by Jonathan Richman
To Hide A Little Thought
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
C
I tried to hide a little thought
Am G
The more I tried the worse things got
G C
It started out so meek and small
Am G
But in a wink pervaded all
[Verse]
G C
Just a stray little stray, stray, stray
G D
By tryin' to hide if I'd asked it to stay
G C
By tryin' to hide if I'd made it a bed
G D
From which to rule the world unsaid
[Chorus]
D Em
To hide a little thought
D Em
A little vagabond
D Em
A sprite in the dark
D Em
That wouldn't move along
[Verse]
C
Many thoughts they come and go
Am G
This too shall pass, she'll never know
C
But since my way is bold and free
Am G
She noticed somethin' strange in me
[Verse]
C
Maybe my voice speeded up or slowed down
G D
Maybe my eyes started dartin' around
G C
Maybe my hands started coverin' my face
G D
Maybe I rambled all over the place
[Chorus]
Em
To hide a little thought
D Em
A little vagabond
D Em
A sprite in the dark
D Em
That wouldn't move along
[Verse]
F#m
I don't say each thing on my mind
Bm A
To say each thing would be unkind
F#m
But with someone I know so well
Bm A
It's so unlike me not to tell
[Verse]
A F#m
Usually I like confrontations, I do
A E
I get this thrill out of sayin' what's true
A F#m
I look so lifeless when I try to lie
A E
That's why it's easy to tell when I try
[Chorus]
E F#m
To hide a little thought
E F#m
A little vagabond
E F#m
A sprite in the dark
E F#m
That wouldn't move along
