            B (x2444x@1)                 E (022100@1)     B (x2444x@1)Out on the Eisenhower, well, I lost my speed

B (x2444x@1)                      E (022100@1)    B (x2444x@1)I heard her voice and I had to stop 
     G# (xx1114@1)                 F# (244322@1)     E (022100@1)She called me on to that mountain top 
       B (x2444x@1)                   E (022100@1)   B (x2444x@1)I'm a poor soul lost in the shady trees 
       G# (xx1114@1)               F# (244322@1)      E (022100@1)I was going to die I was going to freeze

 B (x2444x@1)                 E (022100@1)      B (x2444x@1)Her true lover from her was torn 
G# (xx1114@1)                 F# (244322@1)  E (022100@1)She packed it up to Californ' 
      F# (244322@1)    G#m (133111@4)Then she met me 
F# (244322@1)        B (x2444x@1) E (022100@1) A (x02220@1)D (xx0232@1)She's Velvety

*on this 'B' Frank does a sliding thing in from an A barre chord. 

and for the G#, it might be minor during the verses but it doesn't
seem like it. it's almost as if it could swing both ways.

a little insiders info... or not, maybe everyone already knows this...
This was a pixies b-side (an instrumental) and Frank originally wrote
this song when he was about 15.
