I have always admired those wonderful eccentrics who dare to be different and consequently make our world a far more colourful and interesting place to be. This is a song about one such luminary , Vali Myers (1930-2003) . Gone but not forgotten. Please forgive my rather unlovely voice as I attempt to introduce you to Vali and perhaps you may recognise a little of yourself in her.I hope you do. Lyrics. That woman is not afraid to wear a funny hat Or tell you what she thinks of this or that high heels,pink dresses , hair in a clutch I could argue -- it was---a little too much a multicolored peacock print on her shoulder no fashion rule could ever hold her being t he woman that she has to be the universe has set her free she acted like her soul is 20 years old she just do't care , she just don't care. oddball , kooky , out of control she just do't care , she just don't care. she talks to birds and she talks to trees she talks of rainbows and erotic dreams she eats raw cabbage and seaweed soup went skydiving in her birthday suit A herb garden sits in an overgrown yard her house is BoHo - Avant-Garde a mischievous smile a whimsy wit will cast a spell for your benefit she acted like her soul is 20 years old she just do't care , she just don't care. oddball , kooky , out of control she just do't care , she just don't care. she loves to dance and it's plain to see full of cre-a-tiv-ity she has a little fox and a big black crow known as the witch of Posi-tano A shock of red hair all wild and curled shes a little bit lost in her own little world Stunning once again in her bright silhouette she likes hanging out with the secret set she acted like her soul is 20 years old she just do't care , she just don't care. oddball , kooky , out of control she just do't care , she just don't care. ============================== I was feeling lazy and let biab do all the work with some cutting and pasting and pushing and pulling. tempo 120 This is a very simple song. verse G A chorus G D A Style is _ROKAARP.STY RealTracks in style: ~683:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 630:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanDirty Ev 120 (A:arp) RealTracks in style: 634:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanMuted Ev 120 (B:8ths) RealTracks in style: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealDrums [in style:RockEven8: a: Snare, HiHat b: Snare busy, HiHat 671 B3 organ 2203 Guitar soloist 2346 horn section 405 acoustic guitar strumming.
