Different Drum chords
Linda Ronstadt 1967 "Mike Nesmith" (Stoned Ponies)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Different_Drum
C Em F G 3x *
You and I, travel to the beat of a different drum
Oh can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me
Wo-oh
You cry, and moan, and say it will work out 
But honey child, I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees
Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a girl who wants to love only me 
Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me 
So good-bye, I'll be leaving
I see no sense, in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me
C Em F G (harpsichord)
Oh don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a girl who wants to love only me 
Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me 
So good-bye, I'll be leaving
I see no sense, in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me
C Em F G 3x
