PROVERBIAL PARADIGM SHIFT

Words & Music – Graham & Bernadette Dixon (Trouble at’ Mill)

C                                                             F                              C
Every cloud has a silver lining, every rainbow a pot of gold
                                                    Am
Every dog has its day and in a weird sort of way
                        Dm                             G
It's nice to die before you get old
         C                                                    F                             C
That grass is always greener, on the other side of the hill
                                                          Am         
And if you count your chickens before they hatch
                        Dm                                    G
Then you're in for some trouble at' mill
   C                                                            F                                  C
Never judge a book by its cover, the best things in life are free
                                                  Am                           Dm                                       G
An apple a day keeps the doctor away and money doesn't grow on trees
       C                                     F                                    C
If it isn't broke don't fix it a stitch in time saves nine
                                            Am                                      Dm        G    C
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing In our proverbial paradigm               

C                                                               F                                     C
Life is what you make it, you've got to strike while that iron is hot
                                               Am                                            Dm                  G
Grasp that nettle, fortune favours the brave He who hesitates is lost         
C                                                             F                           C
Mighty oaks from acorns grow, pride comes before a fall
                                          Am                                       Dm                              G                                                            
It’s the little strokes that fell great oaks, you're never gonna win them all
      C                                              F                     C                                       Am
So if at first you don't succeed try try try again, time and tide waits for no man
               Dm              G               C
He who dares will always win

To err is only human, forgiveness divine
It always pays to forgive and forget and two wrongs never make a right
Do as you would be done by and practice what you preach
Do as I do not as I say, as you sow so shall you reap
The best things in life are always free; it's never too late to mend
Let bygones be bygones, it comes right in the end
Patience is a virtue, revenge is never sweet
Mend your ways and spend your days
On the sunny side of the street
