Subterranean blues by the immortal Bob Dylan was the perfect canvas for the parity of the new world we find ourselves in during the Covid 19 times.

Covid 19 Homesick Blues: Bob Dylan, Capo V
E7 E
Johnny's in the basement, mixing up the medicine
E7 E
I'm on the pavement, Feeling like a patient
E7 E
Man on a cruise ship, Hand out, bad cough
E7 E
Now I’m laid-off, Looking for my pay-off

Look out kid, it’s not something you did
E7 E
God knows when, but we’re doing it again
E7 E
You duck down to Trade Joe, looking for the Charmin.

Can’t find it, anyway, find it quite alarming
E7 E
This is more important than all your global warning!
Maggie starts coughin’, She does it quite often
We all start plotting, Where to put her coffin
Another Covid day, Is on its way
Go away by early May, maybe longer anyway
Look out kid, get off the grid
Don’t shake hands, watch for swollen glands,
Stay away from those who carry rounded Virus
To keep a clean nose, maybe use Papyrus
Can’t find tissues, they are horded by some Pirates
Ah, all good, get sick, better keep your distance
Try to get assistance, better have persistence.
Confined, combined with work from home, you cannot roam.
Look out Kid, Keep yourself Hid
Your effort is for mankind, Covid on the Decline
Get behind, the outline, bear in mind we’re saving Lives!
Wish you all peace of mind, as we live in Quarantined!
Investment, assessment, market’s in the basement.
Call you advisor, you think me might be wiser
Buy low, sell high, I think he is a miser.
Look out kid, the markets have slid.
Talk though for fears, wipe away your tears
All happiness & cheer. When end is drawing near,
By this time next year we be toasting with pint of Beer!
I got these Covid 19 stay at home, Homesick Blues
