I lay my head_ On the railroad track_ Stare at the sky_ All painted up_
Your train is gone, won't be comin' back
(CHORUS)
-
See the constellation, ride across the sky
No cigar no lady on his arm, just a guy made of dots and lines
Just a guy made of dots and lines
Two years ago_ Moved from my town_ I was looking up_ Past the city lights_
But the city lights got in my way
(CHORUS)
(For this verse, there is no guitar, the base is playing and in the same
rythm as the chords in the other verses)
I found my mind_ On the ground below_ I was looking up_ It was looking back_
I was in the sky all dressed in black
(CHORUS:Which is extended with...)
-
Just a guy made of dots_ and_ lines_
(Some improv here, then play the riff over this)
Can you hear what I see in the sky?
At the end, there's something going on with a chord. Some bending and
stuff. listen to the song and play with it.
