D   G           A
Hey hovering sombrero; Gently 
D               G               A
waving  in  the air above  the  meadow; Softly 
D               G               Em 
floating in the sky outside the window
G           Em    G        A

Doon't   don't be shy
D     G   A   G    D   G   A   G

[Chorus]
          D       G           A      D
When you take yourself for granted feel
  D/F#   G     Em      A
Rejected and unwanted  Know
        D     Em     G           A    D    Em     G       A

Time is flying like an arrow, And the 
D                 G                   A
clock hands go so fast, they make the wind blow, And it 
D               G           Em 
makes the pages of the calendar go
G              Em      G      A
Flying out the window, one by one. 'Til a

Hundred years are on the front lawn (no), And the

become embittered or possessed by ruined hopes Remember, When 
    D        G          A     D
you take yourself for granted feel
  D/F#   G     Em      A
Rejected and unwanted  Know
        D     Em     G           A    D    Em     G       A     
You're never just a hat you're never only just a hat you know
