[Gm] [Am] [F] Yeah, you know, [Em] Jerry, Kalia, [C] got a new way to float, [Em] ordinary joke, you know.
[C] [F] I've been a man of [Em] business, for a long time, [F] for a long [Em]
time.
[C] [G]
[Em] [G] Well, well, [Ab] well, well, [Fm] well, [Ab] yeah, [Bb]
[F] [G] for my [C] whole burning [F] life.
[C] [F] I might try [Em] to indicate my state of mind to [C] turn you [F] on, and tell you [Em] that I'm laughing,
keep on crying, [C] praise it [Em] when you hear it, [F] keep on trying [Em] to get near it, [F] a little rhythm
for [Em] your spirit, [F] won't [Em] last long as [F] far, come on [G] in, hit the [F] door, now I see the [Em] sparrow
get high, [F] and the way they're stealing [Em] time in disguise, [F] but deep in the [G] dreams they find,
[F] peace is the little things that [Em] free up your mind.

you, [C] man, come on, [F] watch us, [Em] try to teach you, [F] better be the wind really [G] trying to reach you,
[F] if you're [Em] lost in the [F] sky, that's okay, [G] come on [C] back, I need the [Em] last of the night, [F] [C] I'm
just [G] another guy, [F] and [C] peace is a [Em] burning sky, [F] it's just a [C] little thing [Em] freeing up your mind,
I say all the men and [F] girls, all of them [Em] say you're just a lazy so and so, but what [F] they
think is real, is nothing [Em] but an animated puppet show, [F] so don't let time, [Em] space, confuse you,
[F] don't let blame, [Em] fall, confuse you, [F] well let this show [Em] end your confusion, [Dm] in the [Em] light
of the [F] sun, you can [G] see how they [C] run, now [F] I see the [G] sparrow get high, [F] and the way they're
stealing [Em] time in disguise, [F] but deep in the [Em] dreams they find, [F] peace is the little things
