The Singing Scoutmaster: Contrary To Ordinary

Capo 4th fret

Cmaj7//// //// Fmaj7//// ////

Cmaj7//// //// Fmaj7//// ////

Cmaj7Never live a life

Fmaj7Thru other people's eyes

Cmaj7Guess I've always been Ridin' thru storms

Fmaj7Twice my size

GI've always been a drifter

FLooks like I always willC

DBe runnin' toward a sunD7set

GFar side of some hill.

Cmaj7//// //// Fmaj7//// ////

Cmaj7//// //// Fmaj7//// ////

Cmaj7I'm a one-man band

Fmaj7And a one-man gypsy circus

Cmaj7Findin' every piece

Fmaj7Of the puzzle has a purpose

GDriftin' and dreamin'

FThat must be my fateC

DGrinnin' down the D7devils, Lord

GRaisin' with aces and eights -and I was...

CHORUS:

FContrary To Ordinary

Cmaj7Even as a child

D7Fast freights made me wonder

GFull moon drove me wild

FAnd stories do come true

Cmaj7Live life in episodes

FOne eye F/Eon the ladies Dm7now

FAnd one eye F/Gon the Cmaj7road

Cmaj7//// //// Fmaj7//// ////

Cmaj7//// //// Fmaj7//// ////

Cmaj7So when I die I swear

Fmaj7Put no tombstone on my grave

Cmaj7Just have one of my friends

Fmaj7Sail my ashes out over the waves

GDon't get no preacher down here

FJust to talk about my pastC

DJust tell 'em all I liked to D7live

GAnd I loved to sing, dance, and to laugh

CHORUS:

FContrary To Ordinary

Cmaj7Even as a child

D7Fast freights made me wonder

GFull moon drove me wild

FAnd stories do come true

Cmaj7Live life in episodes

FOne eye on the ladies Dm7now

FAnd one eye on the Cmaj7road
