ARMISTICE DAY Words & music by Paul Simon 1972


            |D
On Armistice Day


The Philharmonic will play

       |G             F#m
But the songs that we sing

       | | |
Will be sad

|     |D
Shufflin    brown tunes

        |D7     |D  |G  |
Hanging around, ahoo

   F#m Em|D |  |  |
 M-m-m-m-m-m-m

                         |G
No long drawn blown out excuses

     D
Were made

      |G        F#m           | |
When I needed a friend she was there

 |    |D    |
Just like an easy chair

   |  |G
Oo, Oo-o

   F#m Em|D |  |  |
 M-m-m-m-m-m-m


D            |
Armistice Day

             |
Armistice Day

G           F#m     | |
 That's all I really wanted to say

 | |  | |


D      |                  |
 Oh I'm weary from waiting

                |  |
 In Washington D.C.

     G               |  
 I'm coming to see my Congressman

    D    |          |  |
But he's avoiding me

A/D          |G/D            |D              |  |  |  |  |  |
   Weary from waiting down in Washington D.C.


D  |             |
 Oh Congresswoman

                            |   |
 Won't you tell that Congressman

      G            |  
 I've waited such a long time

      D          |         |  |
I've about waited all I can

A/D       |G/D             |D                    |  |  |  |  |  |
Oh Congresswoman, won't you tell that Congressman
