Chords for Mary Chapin Carpenter - Songs From Home Episode 14: Transcendental Reunion

Hi everyone, welcome back to Songs From Home.
I'm here with White Kitty, my little sangooda.
She's purring up a storm.
She's getting ready to take her nap,
but she's still awake for us.
Hello darling.
And this is Somewhere With a Bunch of Toys.
And [Eb] we're delighted to be back to play another song for you.
_ [Ab] _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ Maybe she'll stick [Ab] around.
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ Maybe _ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] _
she [Bb] needs to toggle.
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] And we will [Eb] again.
_ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] From twenty [Bb] thousand feet [Ab]
high,
Saw the [Bb] lights below [Eb] me,
Twinkle [Bb] just like Christmas,
[Ab] We [Bb] descended [Cm] slowly,
And [Eb] the curve of the world passed.
Oh, [Bb] we're [Cm] flying [Bb] above the mighty [Ab] ocean,
Now [Bb] we're all [Eb] arriving.
_ [Bb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ Glad to carry [Bb] on the [Ab] faggot,
Join the [Bb] herd for the [Eb] mad one,
Take a [Bb] place in the [Ab] long line,
But where [Bb] does everyone [Cm] come from?
As [Bb] we shuffle on [Ab] forward,
As we wait [Bb] for [Cm] inspection,
[Bb] Don't be holding that [Ab] line up,
At the [Bb] end life puts retention.
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Bb] Now _ [Eb] _
I [Bb] stand and I'm [Ab] waved through,
I take [Bb] up my [Eb] position,
At the [Bb] mouth of the cannon,
[Ab] _ [Bb] Saying prayers of [Cm] contrition,
Now [Bb] please deliver my [Ab] suitcase,
From all [Bb] this driven [Cm] peril,
And now we're all arriving.
Now [Bb] the side of it [Ab] circling,
Is a hymn [Bb] to the [Eb] faithful,
Forgive [Bb] me my [Ab] staring,
For my [Bb] unsealed [Eb] wounding,
On [Bb] the hall of [Ab] arrivals,
Where the great [Bb] river [Cm] empties,
[Bb] Its hand carts [Ab] and quarters,
And all the [Bb] people it [Cm] carries,
To [Bb] be greeted with [Ab]
flowers,
[Bb] Grandfathers [Eb] and [Bb] babies,
And [Ab] more [Eb] [Ab] to come.
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Ab]
There _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ [Eb] is _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ no [Bb] one to meet [Eb] me,
Yet I'm [Bb] all but [Eb] surrounded,
By the [Bb] tears and [Ab] embracing,
By [Bb] the joy _ [Cm] unbounded,
The [Bb] friends and [Ab] relations,
Leaping all [Bb] over [Cm] hemispheres,
[Bb]
Transcendental [Ab] Greek communion,
[Bb] All borders vanish [Eb] here,
We are [Bb] travelers [Ab] traveling,
[Eb] We are [Bb] gypsies together,
[Eb]
We're [Bb] philosophers [Ab] gathering,
We are [Bb] business or [Cm] pleasure,
[Bb] We are boring or [Ab] coming,
We're [Bb] just finding our [Cm] way,
[Bb] To the next [Ab] destination,
And from [Bb] night [Eb] into day.
[Bb] _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] In [Ab] _ _ _
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] a _ [Ab] _ _
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] triumph of its [Ab] building,
I flew [Bb] over the [Eb] ocean,
From twenty [Bb] thousand feet [Ab] high,
How the [Bb] lights were the norm [Eb] made. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ Thank you so much for stopping by everyone.
We'll see you the next time, and until then,
Stay strong, stay well, stay mighty,
And White Kitty says,
Keep
