Dmaj7 (xx0222@1) Amaj7And (x02120@1)for my opening line
Emaj7I'm (021100@1)not trying to indicate my state of mind.
Amaj7I (x02120@1)turn you on,
Emaj7I (021100@1)tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Pretty (021100@1)music when you hear it,
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Keep (021100@1)on trying to get near it.

D (xx0232@1) EOh (022100@1)but that's what it's for
G (320003@1) A (x02220@1)
Come on in, here's the door
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7And (021100@1)I've seen a sparrow get high
Gmaj7 (xx5432@1) Dmaj7And (xx0222@1)waste his time in the sky
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7He (021100@1)thinks it's easy to fly
Gmaj7 (xx5432@1) Dmaj7He's (xx0222@1)just a little bit freer than I
Amaj7Now (x02120@1)here's a mystery
Emaj7And (021100@1)maybe you can help to make it clear to me
Amaj7When (x02120@1)you're fast asleep
Emaj7Then (021100@1)what is it that's lighting up the dreams you see
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Only (021100@1)your tears can't conceal it
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7And (021100@1)only your prayers may not reveal it
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7You've (021100@1)got soul so you can feel it
D (xx0232@1) EAnd (022100@1)when you make the scene
G (320003@1) AWell (x02220@1)you know what I mean
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Hey, (021100@1)I've seen a sparrow get high
Gmaj7 (xx5432@1) Dmaj7And (xx0222@1)waste his time in the sky

Dmaj7 (xx0222@1) Amaj7Down (x02120@1)here on the ground
Emaj7When (021100@1)you find folks are giving you the runaround
Amaj7Keep (x02120@1)your game uptight
Emaj7And (021100@1)if you must just take your secrets underground
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Now (021100@1)politicians are trying to speech you
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Mad (021100@1)colour watchers are trying to teach you
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Very (021100@1)few will really try to reach you
D (xx0232@1) EIf (022100@1)you're lost in a stack
G (320003@1) AThat's (x02220@1)OK, come all black
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Now (021100@1)I'd be the last to deny

Amaj7Hey (x02120@1)ordinary Joe
Emaj7Although (021100@1)they say you're just a lazy so-and-so
Amaj7What (x02120@1)they think is real
Emaj7Is (021100@1)nothing but an animated puppet show
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7So (021100@1)don't let time and space confuse you
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7And (021100@1)don't let name and form abuse you
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Let (021100@1)that Big Joe Williams blues you
D (xx0232@1) E (022100@1) G (320003@1) AIn (x02220@1)the light of the sun you can see how they burn
Amaj7 (x02120@1) Emaj7Oh (021100@1)I've seen a sparrow get high
Gmaj7 (xx5432@1) Dmaj7And (xx0222@1)waste his time in the sky
