Lyrics and Chords


[Pippin]

[ Cdim7 = xx1212; Capo 3]

Patching the roof and pitching the hay
Is not my idea of a perfect day
When you're extraordinary
You gotta do extraordinary things

/ G Dm9 G Dm9 / G G7 Am Cm / D - Am - / D - G - /

I'm not the type who loses sleep
Over the size of the compost heap
When you're extraordinary
You think about extraordinary things

   That's the reason I'll never be
   The kind of man who dwells
   On how moths got into the tapestry
   Or why the dungeon smells

   / Eb Ebmaj7 Eb6 Eb / G Dm7 G Gsus4G / A G Cdim7 A7 / D - - - /

Oh, its hard to feel special, it's hard to feel big
Feeding the turtle and walking the pig
It's so secondary
To someone who is very
Extraordinary like me

/ G Dm9 G Dm9 / G G7 Em Ebmaj7 / D - Am - / / 
   / D CBm Am A7D7 Em - / 

If the moat won't stop leaking
And the goat won't stop shrieking
And the griffin keeps losing its hair
And the west wing is rotting
And our best wine is clotting
Well, I'm terribly sorry, but I don't care

/ Em A / / F Fmaj7 F Fmaj7 / Eb - / / Am D Am Dsus4 D Dsus4 D / 

I've gotta be someone who lives
All of his life in superlatives
When you're extraordinary
You gotta do extraordinary things

The fact that I'm different is easy to see
So why doesn't anybody know it but me?
I'm extraordinary
I need to do extraordinary things

   Every so often a man has a day
   He truly can call his
   Well here I am to seize my day
   If someone will just tell me when the hell it is

Give me my chance and give me my wings
And don't make me think about everyday things
They're unnecessary
To someone who is very
Extraordinary
Like me

/ G Dm9 G Dm9 / G F C Ebmaj7 / D - Am7 - / / 
   / D AmEm Am - / G Dm9 G Dm9 G / /
