 Hidin' be-hind closed doorways,

Right about now your face should wear a smile.

 That's the way it all should happen,
D                            C                   G
 When you're in, when you're in the state you're in.

 You've got your pen and notebook ready,

 Socializing with the whino few.

Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set,
C                                               G
 But they're flying too high to see my point of view.

-------------------................

*from 'Saint Dominic's Preview' (1972)*


*CAPO 2nd FRET*

(Original Key: D)


Intro:

Am  Em  F  Em  F, G  C

Verse 1:

C            G   F#  F
 Boy and his dog,
                         C
Went out looking for the rainbow;
Am        Em   Dm             Em
 You know what did they learn,
F                G
 Since that very day?

Verse 2:

C               G     F#  F
 Walking by the river,
                        C
And running like a blue streak,
Am           Em        Dm                  Em
 Through the fields of streams and meadows,
F                 G
 Laughing all the way.

Chorus 1:

C            G    F#  F              C
 Oh, redwood tree,     please let us under.
Am            Em               Dm  Em  F
 When we were young we used to go;
G                  C
 Under the redwood tree.

C                   G    F#  F           C
 And it smells like rain,     maybe even thunder.
Am         Em           Dm        Em  F
 Won't you keep us from all harm,
G                  C
 Wonderful redwood tree?

Verse 3:

C                  G      F#  F
 And a boy and his father,
                                        C
Went out, went out looking for the lost dog.
Am        Em        Dm                   Em
 You know what, oh, haven't they learned,
F                       G
 Since they did that to-gether?

Verse 4:

C                       G    F#  F
 They did not bring him back,
                  C
He already had de-parted.
Am           Em         Dm        Em      F
 But look at everything they have learned,
                            G
Since that, since that very day.

Chorus 2:

C            G    F#  F              C
 Oh, redwood tree,     please let us under.
Am            Em               Dm  Em  F
 When we were young we used to go;
G                  C
 Under the redwood tree.

C                   G    F#  F           C
 And it smells like rain,     maybe even thunder.
Am         Em           Dm        Em  F
 Won't you keep us from all harm,
G                  C
 Wonderful redwood tree?
