Stinging Nettles Cifras

[Intro]
    G
Hey Kids
         C
How're ya doing?
            D
Thanks for listening.
 
[Verse 1]
 
G
I've been asked to write a song about
C
what you might be missing
G
When you're staring at your smartphones
     D
and into your computer screens
        C
And not playing by the river
         D                   G
Skipping stones and climbing trees
C                                            G
And did you know your great grand daddy once howled at the moon
D                                    G
But there won't be any footage of it on YouTube
C                                 G
And once upon a time when someone saw something beautiful
     D                                          G
They watched it with their eyes not through the screen of a telephone
C                          G
A picture might be worth a thousand pixels
D                                              G
But there's still some things you can enjoy without your log in details
 
[Chorus]
 
C                      G
So tell the dandelion it can tell the time
                D
Roll your trousers up
            G
Head to the river side
C                            G
Blow the cobwebs off of your careless soul
          D                   G
Watch the sunrise when you're on you're own
C                     G
There try to tell you to be careful
           D
But you've never really lived
                                         G
If you've never been stung by a stinging nettle
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
Hey kids,
                C
If you're still listening
    G                  D
The ironys not lost on me
G                        C                      G
I use my computer and my phone everyday I'm not singing a song about a
D
time machine
G                       C
Of course technology is excellent
G                           D
And we're all living in the future
G                         C                        D              G
But don't forget to go outside once in a while and reconnect with nature
 
[Chorus]
 
C                             G
And tell the dandelion it can tell the time
          D
Roll your trousers up
            G
Head to the riverside
C                            G
Blow the cobwebs off of your careless soul
          D
Watch the sunrise when you're
G
On you're own
C                     G
There try to tell you to be careful
           D
But you've never really lived if you've never been stung
     G
By a stinging nettle
