[Intro]
D
Oh on the Westbound Bart, dove under water and
GEmGEm
my ears popped and, your eyes watered
GEmA
and mascara ran down your face
[Verse 1]
D
And you looked at me from three rows away
GEmGEmA
As if to say, please stop staring at me and so I did
D
And you got off at 16th and Mission and
GEmGEm
I did too, I didn't want it to seem like I was following you
GEmA
It was the same stop I was getting off, I swear
D
And you walked on down the street, and I walked behind
GEmGEm
But you kept on making the same turns, I was gonna make
GEmGEmA
Till finally you stepped in, the same bar that I was going to
D
And it was tuesday night karaoke
GEmGEm
And I sang Lay, Lady, Lay, with the funny voice and all
GEmGEm
And you sang Bohemian Rhapsody, and everybody sang along
GEmGEmA
Especially on that part, That says I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
[Harmonica]
DGEmGEmGEmA
[Verse 2]
D
And when you were done, and the crowd around you dispersed
GEmGEmA
I went up to tell you, just what a great job you had done
D
You said I wonder if when Freddie Mercury
GEmGEm
Wrote Bohemian Rhapsody, if he knew it was going to be
GEmA
The ultimate song for karaoke
[Bridge]
F#G
And I said "what about American Pie?"
F#G
And you said "fuck American Pie"
F#GEmAF#G
Our generation can not identify with drove my chevy to the levee
F#GEmA
It ain't nothing when compared to I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
[Harmonica]
DGEmGEmGEmA
[Verse 3]
D
You said well that was a great version of Lay, Lady, Lay
GEmGEmA
With the funny voice and all, Back from Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline days if I do recall
D
I said yeah I don't normally do this karaoke thing
GEmGEm
But if I do, I either sing that song or everybody must get stoned
GEmA
Rainy Day Women number twelve and thirty-five(technically that's what that songs called)
D
And you said yeah what's with that song title, whats with the 12 and 35
GEmGEmGEm
I said well 12 times 35 is four hundred and twenty, and you know what they say about four twenty
GEm
But maybe that's just the math major in me talking
GEmA
I dont know what it means, It just does
D
But girl you know I used to roam around
GEmGEm
Play my own guitar, Sing my own songs
GEmA
It's been a while since I've been on the road
D
See I've lost my muse, and I have not written a song
GEmGEm
In about a year or so, Im taking a little break
GEmA
My friends call it retirement I don't know
D
But just today, the most amazing thing happened
GEmGEm
I saw something beautiful and I felt a spark
GEmGEmA
Of a brand new song, That I have not felt in so long
[Bridge]
F#GF#G
And you said Sing it to me, I said it's not ready to sing
F#GEmA
Because all I have is the very first line
F#GF#G
She said if you don't sing me that first line now, there will never be a second line
EmA
Give me what you got boy or else go home
I said okay, here goes
[Chorus]
D
Oh on the Westbound Bart, dove under water and
GEmGEm
my ears popped and, your eyes watered
GEmA
and mascara ran down your face
