G         C
Hey, hey, Carla
       D           G
It's a long way to Missouri
B7        Em
From this highway
Am       D
East of Roanoke
G        C
We had a moment
D              G
That felt like summer
B7      Em
Now in slumber
Am             D
I can see your smile

G             C
We drive for miles
D                 G
Through corporate Ohio
B7                 Em
Rest stops in West Virginia
Am                   D
Traffic in Washington DC

    G
But of all the scenes that I see
      F
Played out this window to the left of me
Em                   Cm
The thought of you it shines
G   C   C/B   Am   D         G
The band plays on, I keep the time

G               C
We play in the night time
D            G
Awake before sunrise
B7                  Em
Wipe the sleep from my eyes
Am             D
Coffee my best friend
G                 C
You dance between classes
D                 G
Complete difficult assignments
B7               Em
Wonder where the time went
Am                     D
Out drinking with your friends

G              C
We see a lot of beauty
D            G
Some becomes ordinary
B7                         Em
Mountains, and canyons, and prairies
Am                    D
Sunset over Chesapeake Bay
G          C
Dear, dear Carla
D                  G
It's only that I'm askin'
B7                         Em
Make time more easy for the passin'
Am                        D
If I knew I would see you again

   G                      
Of all the beauty that I see
   F
Out this window to the left of me
Em                      Cm
The thought of you it shines
G   C    C/B   Am  D          G
The band plays on, I keep the time
    C    C/B Am     D           G
The time is marked, between the lines
   C C/B Am   D          G
Hmmm...       I keep the time



END! (Thanks for giving Bob some love!)
