[Am] [D]
[D] [G]
Little Gemma's [F#m] gone, [B] [E] way out on the back street, [C] out of the window, [Em] into the falling rain,
[Am] and it's right [D] on time.
It's right [G] on time.
That's why I [F#m] broke an arrow, [B] [Em]
[E] and waved this finger [C] down the road so dark and narrow,
in the [Em]
evening, [Am] just before the Sunday 6th [D] bell chimed.
[G]
And [Em] way, [F#m] [B] [Em] way [C] down below, [G]
and you wander, [Am] away from your hillside, [D] retreat in view.
[G]
With two arms in [F#m] the north bridge [Bm] way out on the railroad, [E]
together, all the [C] jumping
trucks will unload, [Em] on scrapbooks, [G] [A] that [Am] together, [D] you're stuck with glue.
And I'll stand, [G] beside you, [F#m] [Bm] [E]
beside [C] you.
[E]
[Em] Oh child, [Am] you'll never, never, never [D] wonder why.
[G]
You'll never, never, never, never wonder [C] why at all.
[G]
You'll never, never wonder [C] why at all.
It's [G] gotta be.
[D] It had to be.
[G]
[Em] You've cut the crystal pavements way [F#m] out in the country, where you'll find the [Bm] hillside mountain slide.
[E]
The dynamo of your smile could wreck the [C] world, but birth a child to wonder by your window
in the [Em] night time.
Across the fog, [Am] you glide, as ecstasy [D] surrounds you.
Through the night air, you'll pass the time, as though you're nowhere, [G] against the pointed isle breeze.
Across the [F#m] footlifts of the prison silence, [Bm] easy.
[E]
In the night, you'll cry the spirits that hear you [C] and they'll tell you everything's
all right, go ahead, do it one [Em] more time, baby.
Yeah, you're [Am] satisfied at this.
[D] And way up in the sky, comes down the light of school.
You hold it [G] open and you kiss, you hold the [F#] lantern and you do [Bm] me.
[E] Hold the freedom of it, and your mind, the night air [C] comes in through your nostrils and
you breathe in, [Em] out, in, out.
You breathe, [Am] just like that, just like [D] that.
You say hi, don't just get you when I get you, just when I get you, I get you.
You may not know it, it's got you, so you turn [G] around and I point a finger at you, [F#m] point
[B] a finger at [E] you, and say which way, [C] which way, which way, which way, [Em] yeah, that's [Am] all
right, yeah, [D] cause I'm hip to it, gonna do it right now, behind you, [G]
beside [F#m] you, [E] beside you.
[C] [Em]
Oh child, [Am] I never, never, never, never, never wonder [D] why at all, no.
