03/28/2017

Capo 1

G7 C7

My friend Billy he was actin' kinda silly by the seashore

G7 D7

He started goofin', countin' all the grains of sand

G7

About a thousand and thirty he was gettin' kinda dirty

C7

And he looked at himself and he laughed

G7 D7 G7

He said, "I'll never even finish what I got right here in my hand"

[Chorus]

G7

He had a revelation, had a revelation

D7

He had some kinda knowledge comin' in from somewhere else for free

G7 C7

He had a revelation, special information

G7 D7 G7

And I'm hopin' they'll be catchin' it from sea to shining sea

[Verse 2]

G7 C7

A girl named Nancy started talkin' kinda fancy over dinner

G7 D7

Usin' clever phrases she would always have to stop and explain

G7

As each sentence ended all her guests were more offended

C7

And she looked at herself and she laughed

G7 D7 G7

She said "I'll never ever use those hundred-dollar words again"

[Chorus]

G7

He had a revelation, had a revelation

D7

He had some kinda knowledge comin' in from somewhere else to see

G7 C7

He had a revelation, special situation

G7 D7 G7

And I'm sure they'll be catchin' it from sea to shining sea

[Bridge]

C7 G7

Well, there's a time and a place for everything

C7 G7

A way of standin' up and never tippin' your canoe

C7 G7

Sometimes it's better if you just give in

D7

Never use a hammer on a screw

[Verse 4]

G7

Mister L. da Vinci said he wouldn't budge an inch he

C7

Was convinced that someday humans would fly

G7 D7

He made some little paper aeroplanes to show them what he had on his mind

G7

Even men of learnin' would have rather seen him burnin'

C7

Like the devil or the witch they thought he was

G7 D7 G7

So he kept his big mouth shut and he didn't have to say goodbye

[Chorus]

G7

He had a revelation, he had a revelation

D7

He had some kinda knowledge comin' in from A to Z

G7 C7

He had a revelation, a pile of information

G7 D7 G7

And I'm hopin' they'll be catchin' it from sea to shining sea
