         D                  C
While the city was busy we wanted to rest
    Bm                        C
She decided to drive up to observatory crest
     D                      C
We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best
   Bm                 C
We went on a ride, we got outside
    D                 C                Bm  C
The sand was hot, she wanted to dance

    D                       C
We went round and round in observatory crest
        Bm                          C
Thought we'd saw flying saucers and all of the rest
D                          C                   D  C  Bm  C
Hans in hi-spain (??) from observatory crest


          D                  C
While the city was busy we wanted to rest
     Bm                      C
She decided to drive up to observatory crest
     D                      C
We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best
        Bm                C
So the only thing to do
       D          C
Was to drive up
            D       C
And watch the city
        D               C
From observatory crest

          D                  C
While the city was busy we wanted to rest
     Bm                      C
She decided to drive up to observatory crest
     D                      C
We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best
        Bm                C
So the only thing to do
       D          C
Was to drive up
            D       C
And watch the city
        D               C
