"Quiet" by Malvina Reynolds
3/4 Open Tuning
Intro: A E A E
A E A
I don't know much about much, and what I don't know I don't say,
Dm A E7 A
and when I have nothing to say I'm quiet.
D A E7 A
If there's occasion to holler I'll try it, I can make noise with the best,
Dm A E7 A
But most of the rest of the time I'm quiet.
A E A
I've made mistakes in the past, things that I blush over yet,
Dm A E7 A
but I hardly ever regret having been quiet.
A E A
I have a TV at home, and I do truly enjoy it.
Dm A E7 A
I can just leave it alone, and it's quiet.
D A E7 A
If there's occasion to holler I'll try it, I can make noise with the best,
Dm A E7 A
But most of the rest of the time I'm quiet.
A E A
I'm not unsociable no, people are fine in repose,
Dm A E7 A
somehow my favorites are those who are quiet.
A E A
Quiet's a wonderful sound, better than oboe or fiddle
Dm A E7 A
Someday I'm going to be found in the middle of quiet.
D A E7 A
If there's occasion to holler I'll try it, I can make noise with the best,
Dm A E7 A
But most of the rest of the time I'm quiet.
A E A
Sing me a song of the sea, soft as the breath of the breeze,
Dm A E7 A
sing me to sleep and then please keep quiet.
