G                              D   
Float down the river with my Iddy and Jay 
C                        D             
Get off the boat and board a plan to JKF and I  
G               D 
ain't slept a week 
     C                             D                G                  
But it don't seem to matter to the subway speakers  speak (and speak)

And the goodness yesterday No one round oh 
     G                           D  
and I still recognize her after all these years 
    C                    D      G      D 
and she still looks the same 
C                        D

G                       D 
 Just when I was sick and lonely  
                     C  
There was a shaking on the ground  
                  D 
We were hiding from the rain 
                     G  
We were riding on the train  
 

G                       D

                     C  
There was a shaking on the ground  
                  D 
We were hiding from the rain 
                     G       D 
We were riding on the train  
 

       C             D       
She was dancing on the midway  
      G             D 
Just kissing my face 
        C             D 
She was dancing on the midway

Dancing on the midway  
   G           D 
Kissing my face  
    C              D  
Dancing on the midway 
 G 
Just waving goodbye.
