g Gdim
Am7 d7
i hope i can protect myself from goin too far
i went up a silver stream in old argentine
people were a zippin on their flyin machines
theyd go up and down around the block
theyd duck and jump and then theyd stop theyd go up as high as they could fly
and then theyd stall and then theyd dive as low as they could possibly go
plowin thru big piles of snow
a wackadoodle hip machines their bombin cat and submarines
theres somethin that i want you to know
that i cant stop thinkin of you
no matter what i do
from up in space to argentine im sippin tea and margarine
i just cant seem to let your memory go
in a country called ole roment
i was buried in a vault, i was poured in cement
you could here the people shout and yell they caught a vampire in the cell
i hope it wasnt me they meant
cause i bin thinkin about someone since the moment time begun
i bin floatin round the universe a victim of a widows curse
i know im gonna have some fun
but i cant stop thinkin bout you no matter what i do
im takin oportunity anything that comes to me
i hope i can escape real soon. =================================================================
notes: g6 is just the g chord with with the open d changed to an e
ie the 4th string played on second fret
theres an f part but its only played in the first verse.
I cant remember when i wrote it somewhere around 2000,
Dean would probably know for sure.
