Fly on a Windshield/Broadway Melody of 1974

Intro: alternating between Em and G

	G (320003@1)              Em (022000@1)   
There's something solid forming in the air,
                G (320003@1)                                                      EmAnd (022000@1)the wall of death is lowered in Times Square.
C (x32010@1)          EmNo-one (022000@1)seems to care,
           Am (x02210@1)                                      EmThey (022000@1)carry on as if nothing was there.

B/G (31333x@1)                             G5 (355xxx@1)      
The wind is blowing harder now,
                 Gadd9 (135211@3)          Em(VII) (022000@1)Blowing dust into my eyes.
         B/G (31333x@1)                         G5The (355xxx@1)dust settles on my skin,
                  Gadd9 (135211@3)            Em(VII) (022000@1)Making a crust I cannot move in
Em(XII)                            Em/maj7                   Em6 (022020@1)                       Em/maj7
And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway.

Instrumental Interlude:  alternating Em and G for many measures, then

(as above except for last line)
Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food and the band plays 'In the Mood'
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, there's a smell of
                      peach blossom and bitter almonde.
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, he knows
                     in ascent, (x02210@1)you can bottle all you made.
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the
               majorettes smoking Winston Cigarettes.
And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home
                 Bb (x1333x@1)     C (x32010@1)         D (xx0232@1)
