Verse 2: Dm Oh, Sally buffalo in the apartment just below G Just a bein’ without a care Dm Oh, children from my brood they come and bring me food G Maybe open up a window for air

Verse 3: Well, we got a party goin’ on many spirits strong Ain’t preacher just a happy to meet ya Half a bottle ‘neath the bed keep our spirits fed My hat’s off to you, to you and you
And now our brave friends, too, dancing circles through the room And a broom and a radio and a twistin out a dos-e-do Brand new day, the whole world’s goin’ Whole room’s goin’ so
Chorus: Just now, don’t hesitate (hesitate) Oh, taste the morning break (morning break) Sweet, sweet, young honeycomb (honeycomb) On, now, now, now just like home (just like home)
Bridge: D A G Oh, just like, just like home D A G Where the stray dogs go D A G Oh, oh, rest my bones D A G D Like a fresh skipped stone to it all
G G A G G A Still right here, still just here, G G A D Still just here, brave, brave friend
