Lyrics

I can see

by your grin

that you’re trem bling with in.

It’s all

o ver town;

cheer down.

And the smile on your face

is some (C)times

out of place.

Don’t (D)mind;

no (Gm)frowns.

Cheer down.

(Gm6)If your hair

should fall,

(Gm6)if your shares

should crash,

(Gm6)you’ll get by

e ven with (D)out get ting a rash.

There’s no tears to be shed; I’m gon na love (C)you

in stead.

I (D)want you a round;

cheer down.

I (D)want you a round;

cheer down.
