Give It A Whirl

I saw you there by the side of the road
                                       D
You wore long faces and long overcoats in the rain
A
Waiting for buses to carry you home
                                       D
Winter wind rushes and rattles your bones, it's a shame

G                    A              Bb
I can see no sign of action in your eyes
G                             A                 Bb
There's a thrill you'll never know if you never try

A
Remember taking a ride on a ferris wheel
                         D
And really enjoying yourself, bye bye blues
A
Remember taking a bet on a race
                                            D
You faced the future with a smile on your face, win or lose

G                   A                       Bb
No, I don't mean to preach, I don't mean to patronise
G                       A                       Bb
There's a thrill you'll never know if you never try

              A          
Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl
              A
Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl
              A
Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl
              A                               Bb
Why don't you give it a, give it a, give it a whirl...........

No, never give up, giving in, it's like kissing goodbye
G                                   A                  Bb
There's a thrill, that you'll never know, if you never try
