Creedence Clearwater Someday Never Comes
[SI#] [FA#] SOL#m MIm
First thing I remember was asking papa, why,
[SI#] SOL [SI#]
For there were many things I didn't know.
[FA#] SOL #m MI
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand,
[SI#] [FA#] [SI#]
Saying, someday you'll understand.
(chorus:) [FA#] [SI#]
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,
[FA#] [SI#]
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,
[DO#m ] MI [SI#]
'Cause someday never comes.
