David Byrne - And She Was (Live From Austin TX) chords
Start Jamming...
about a girl I knew in high [A] school.
I went to high school in suburban Baltimore.
This is a girl I knew there who used to do LSD and lie in a field by the Yoo-Hoo
chocolate drink factory.
She claimed it was a great place for that kind of thing.
I had my doubts.
She

[A] [E]
[A] [E]
[A] was lying [E] in the grass.
She could hear the highway [C] breathing.
She could see an
air by factory.
She's [A] making sure [B] she's not dreaming.
[Bb] [F] Seeing lights of [C]
[F] neighbors'
[Bb] house.
[C] Now she's starting [F] to write.
[Bb] [F] Take a minute, [C]
[F] concentrate [Bb] as she [G] opens up [C] her
[E] eyes.
Ooh, [A] I was moving.
She was right there with me.
And [E] she was.
[A]
[E] Ooh, [A] I was moving.
She was floating above me.
And [E] she was.
[A] [D]
And she [E] was.
[A] [E]
[E]
And she [A] was drifting through
[E] the backyard.
And she [A] was taking off her dress.
And she was moving very [E] slowly.
[A] Rising up [E] above the earth.
[Bb] [F] Moving into [C] the universe.
[Bb] [C] Drifting this way [F] and that.
[Bb] [F] Not touching [C] the ground at all.
[Bb] Yeah, she's [G] up above the earth.
[E] Ooh, [A] I was moving.
She
was right there with me.
And [E] she was.
[A]
[E] Ooh, [A] I was moving.
She was floating above me.
And
[E] she was.
[A]
She [Bm] was.
No time to [G] think about what she's done.
[Bm] No time to think about what's
to tell.
[G] And no time to think about where she's [E] going and she was.
[Dbm] [E]
[A] [E]
And she was looking
at herself.
And things were looking like a movie.
She had a pleasant elevation.
She's [A] moving out in [E] all directions.
