(C) Take the tumor with humor,
(F)Don´t let it bring you (C)down,
(F)Take the tumor with (C)humor
When (G)old man cancer is in town.
(C)Take the (C/B)tumor with (Am)humor, (Am/E)

(Am)Jimmy Cancer, (Em)ugly dancer,

(Am)Jimmy Cancer, (Em)evil prancer,
(F)Is the cheating (G)kind.
You can´t com(F)pletely laugh him off,
He is (C)serious enough,
But the (F)more you are afraid,
The (C)more he´s got it (G)made.
Let the (F)doctors come with (C)all their art,
(G)Cut him out, every (Am)single tiny part,
Then (Dm)get your strength back and (Em)persevere,
Don´t let (F)old man cancer thrive on your (C)tears and (G)fears. (F)(G)(G7)

(C) Take the tumor with humor,
(F)Don´t let it bring you (C)down,
(F)Take the tumor with (C)humor,
When (G)old man cancer is in town.

(Am)Jimmy Cancer, (Em)ugly dancer,
(F)Stealing the light from the (G)sky,
(Am)Jimmy Cancer, (Em)evil prancer,
(F)Trying to steal the (G)twinkle from your eye.
Such a (F)dirty little beast,
On (C)you he´ll try to feast,
He´ll more (F)easily succeeed
When you (C)pay him too much (G)heed.
Try (F)not to forget (C)Eric´s got it right,
(G)You should always look (Am)on the bright side
Of (Dm)life´s tribulations and (Em)trials,
They´re (F)best borne (C) with a (G)smile. (F)(G)(G7)

(C) Take the tumor with humor,
(F)Don´t let it bring you (C)down,

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
