There's A Song In There Somewhere

A sing-along I wrote as a closer for the B&B set we did at Didgeri-Douze.

Capo 2, so when I write "E" here, you actually get F#, right? (You can tell I'm not really a guitarist!)
Time sig = 3/4.

          E                               A
When your day has been a stinker and your troubles seem to stem

        B7                           A          E
From an insufficient chumminess with Real Life TM,

          (E)                       A
And you'd rather be on Skaro with a dalek for a wife

        B7                               A             E
Than to have to face another day of this awful mundane life,

     G#                         C#m
Then remember, as you hasten to write the whole thing off,

           F#                       B7
That while some folks go ballistic, you can shrug it off, cos

             E
   There's a song in there somewhere

   A song to be sung

     B7
   A witty little ditty

      E
   At life to be flung;

			    A
   Every cloud has a silver rhyming

				E
   Every crisis has got its own tune,

			E7      A
   So when Real Life TM has you crying

	     E/B
   There's a song in there somewhere

     B7         E
   A song to be sung!

When you wake up in the morning and your vocal c(h)ords don't work,
When you're dressed in Klingon costume but they tell you're a berk,
When you wished you had a phaser as a means to jump a queue,
And overall the Terran life just leaves you feeling blue,
Then remember, as you fondle your knobby wizard's staff,
That filking folk can see the joke and always have a laugh, cos

There's...
When you find yourself surrounded by a bunch of smelly orcs
And your terror is well founded 'cos you're armed with... pickle forks,
When an oddly cubic spaceship from an empire keen to grow
Makes assimilation likely 'cos your resistance is not worth beans really,
Then remember, O ye millions under alien skies,
Although it's sad, it's not that bad: not everybody dies!

There's...
