Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I got Aretha in the Morning

High on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues in springtime

cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

Momma she'd notice but she's always crying

I got no-one to confide in

Aretha, nobody but you

Momma she'd notice but she's always fighting

something in her mind

and it sounds like breaking glass

I got Aretha in the Morning

High on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues in springtime

cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

You got the words

Baby you got the words

You got the words

Baby you got the words

Aretha, Aretha I don't want to go to school

Cause they just don't understand

And I think the place is cruel

Child singer, raise your voice

Stand up on your own

Go out there and strike out

I tell Aretha in the morning

High on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues in springtime

Cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

But I got the words
