Аккорды Tom Paxton - Only A Game

This song is in the key of B
capo II to play along in the key of A

[Verse]
A
While stopping one innocent afternoon
              E7
For paper and magazines
                             E
My attention was drawn to a riot of color
                        A
The loveliest I've ever seen
A
All in the shape of a plastic cube
A7                 D
Red and yellow and blue
D                              A
 How lovely,  I cried,  What a clever design!
       E7                        A
Great  tell me sir, what does it do?

[Verse]
A
 That's easy,  he said as he handled my cash
                               E7
And he dropped the cube into a sack
E
 Some of the colors you twist left or right
E7                           A
Some you twist forward, some back
A                                    A7
Before very long if you're clever at this
                               D
You've got all the colors the same
D                               A
And then if you like, you start over again
         E7                  A
For it's fun and it's only a game.

[Chorus]
A
 Only a game, only a game.
                       E7
I'm muttering under my breath
E
 Only a game, only a game
                   A
Like dying is only death!
A
I talk to myself as I walk down the street
                                  D
Till old friends all cry,  What a shame!
                                 A
For he used to say 'Hello!' and 'How do you do?'
       A7           E7     A
All he says now is 'Only a game'!

[Verse]
A
That night after dinner, I settled myself
                       E7
Planning to watch some TV
E
Safe in the warmth of my favorite chair
                     A
And the bosom of my family
A
Basking in fellowship, brimful of cheer
                              D
I bade my child,  Turn on the tube!
                         A
And as I was watching my favorite show
   E7                      A
I carelessly picked up the cube

[Verse]
A
I twiddled it this way, I twiddled it that
                              E
 Haha!  I exclaimed,  This is strange!
E7
No matter how often I twiddle this cube
                                A
The blasted thing don't seem to change!
A
I felt myself growing the slightest bit warm
                             D
As I twisted and whirled and spun
                                 A
They tell me they found me there early next morn
A7     E7                        A
I was screaming,  By God, nearly done!

[Chorus]
A
 For it's only a game, only a game.
                       E7
I'm muttering under my breath
E
 Only a game, only a game
                   A
Like dying is only death!
A
I talk to myself as I walk down the street
                     A7           D
Till old friends all cry,  What a shame!
                                 A
For he used to say 'Hello!' and 'How do you do?'
       E7                   A
All he says now is 'Only a game'!

[Verse]
A
Somehow I got dressed and they drove me to work
                         E7
And I slowly came out my haze
E
By a fierce act of will, I sat down to my tasks -
                                   A7
There was talk I might soon earn a raise
A
The boss called me into his office at ten
                                  D
And he said to me,  Glad that you came!
                                A
For I'm thinking of adding this toy to our line
         E7                  A
For it's fun and it's only a game!

[Verse]
A
Well, I don't know what happened –
A
I don't want to know
                         E7
I'll have all my life to repent
E
They say I did something with that little cube
                             A
That the boss was obliged to resent
A
And now I get visitors here in my room
                                    D
And they murmur,  Poor man, what a shame!
D
For he's twisting his ears
          A
and he's twiddling his nose
        E7                  A
And he tells us it's only a game!

[Outro]
A
 Only a game, only a game.
                       E7
I'm muttering under my breath
E
 Only a game, only a game
                   A
Like dying is only death!
A
I talk to myself as I walk down the street
                                  D
Till old friends all cry,  What a shame!
                                 A
For he used to say 'Hello!' and 'How do you do?'
       A7           E7     A
All he says now is 'Only a game'!
