Playing Possum from Playing Possum - 1975
D E7
We lived up in Cambridge
Amaj7 F#m7 G
And browsed in the hippest newsstands
D G
Then we started our own newspaper
C Bm7
Gave the truth about Uncle Sam
A D E7
We loved to be so radical
Amaj7 G
But like a ragged love affair
D G
Some became disenchanted
C D
And some of us just got scared
A
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
D A
Are you playing possum for a while
D E7
Then you moved to the country
Amaj7 F#m7 G
Bought a farm and tilled the land
D G
Then you took your books to India
C
And got hooked on a holy man
D E7
But the wells they do run dry
Amaj7 F#m7 G
And the speeches turn to words
D G
And the woods are full of tigers
C D
And freedom's for the birds
A
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
D A
Are you playing possum for a while
D E7
Now you run a bookstore
Amaj7 F#m7 G
And you've taken on a wife
D G
You wear patches on your elbows
C
And you live an easy life
A D E7
Well, are you finally satisfied
Amaj7 G
Is it what you were lookin' for
D G
Or does it sneak up on you
C D
That there might be something more
A
Now are you playing possum
Keeping a low profile
D A
Are you playing possum for a while
D A
Are you just playing possum for a while
D A
Are you just playing possum for a while
