For

A cut

D7 sav

G Takes

some retraining, but who’s complaining?

Those

A7 men

us were such a chore.

Am I’m

That

I’m looking over a key called “clover”
That I overlooked before.
The “O” is for Open; it’s like double-click.
The “N” makes a New one, but three times as quick.
The “Q” is for quitting; it means you’re splitting.
The “S” means it’s time to store.
I’m looking over a key called “clover”
That I overlooked before.

I’m looking over a key called “clover”
That I overlooked before.
To “X” a selection is crossing it out.
The “V” will revive it, and spread it about.
No use explaining the keys remaining;
I still don’t know what they’re for.
But I’m looking over a key called “clover”
That I overlooked before.
