She don’t like me stayin’ up  late in my high-heeled shoes,

Livin’ for that rock-n’-roll     dancin’ scene.

    Papa says, “Leave the girl alone mother, 
C                         Em

    It’s a rough road to travel, Mama 
C                Em 
Let go now, it’s    always called for me. 

     Em               D/E 
Some-times I get that feeling 
      D                           C         Em 
And I want to settle and raised a  child up with somebody. 
Gm7/D    F/D                 Gm7/D 
       I get that strong long- - -ing 
      F/D     Gm7/D        F/D          Gm7/D           F/D 
And I want to set- tle and raise a child     up with somebody 
       F 
But it passes like the summer 
      Eb 
I’m a wild seed again, let the wind carry me. 

(Gm7/D  F/D –Gm7/D  Gsus2  G  Cmaj7)
