Abm And he's wondering why we can't connect Abm When he's sworn to us that he's totally wrecked Gb6 On the rustic charm that he affects Eb On a public schoolboy whim Abm With a raggle taggle plastic gypsy Abm Robert Zimmerframe Gb6 With a synthesized accordian Eb A-scramblin' up my brain Abm With a fiddle-dee-dee a fiddle on high Abm Excuse me folks while I kiss the sky Gb6 Or at any rate give it one more try Eb before I Eb die Eb before I SOLO Abm Abm Gb6 Eb die Abm Abm Gb6 Eb Abm Abm Gb6 Eb 2nd VERSET Abm The overrated hit the stage Abm Overpaid and over here Gb6 And their idea of counter-culture's Eb Momma's charge account at Sears Abm And they're wondering why we can't connect Abm With the ritual of the trashed guitar Gb6 One more paltry empty gesture Eb The ashes of a burned out star Abm Yes here they come, both old and young Abm A contact low or high Gb6 The gathering of the tribes descending Eb Vultures from a caustic sky Abm The rotting carcase of July Abm An ugly sun hung out to dry Gb6 You gorgeous hippy dreams are dying Eb Your frazzled brains are putrifying Abm Repackaged, sold and sanitizied Abm The devil's music exorcised Gb6 You live, you die, you lie, you lie, you Eb die perpetuate the Abm lie Abm perpetuate the Gb6 lie Eb perpetuate the Abm lie Abm Just to perpetuate the Gb6 lie Eb Eb ----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb ------------------------------5-----------------------------5---------------| Gb6 -----------5-----------7--------------------------5----------------5-------| Db --5------------------------------------7------------------------------------| Ab ----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb ----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Yes yes yes it's the summer festival the truly detestable summer festival Eb ----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb ------------------------------5---------------------------------------------| Gb6 -----------5-----------7---------------5---------4-------------------------| Db --5---------------------------------------------------------7------5--------| Ab ----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb ----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Yes yes yes it's the summer festival the truly detestable summer festival ...etc IMPROVISATION : B Eb Ab Db Gb6 Bb Eb Abm 0 0 2 2 1 0 Gb6 3 2 0 0 3 0 Eb 0 2 2 1 0 0 =======================
