This really has to be the last one.
Because this is a song that we don't have anything to follow.
Because the real gaffer,
[D]
this song [G] [Em] is based on an incident,
[C] a recent incident,
[D]
[A#] maybe you've had the same [G] experience.
[C] Driving along a very busy street,
[D] [E] in the afternoon traffic,
with [G] honking and [F#] screaming and scraping [G] of fenders
and sweating and swearing and [C]
dust and noise and heat,
[G] and you're just [C] glued to the wheel and it's horrible
and
[C] somebody's bumping into your [G] bumper.
[C] And then you look at the [G] car next to you.
[C] And the guy [G] that's driving along [C#] next to you is all [A#] cool and calm.
And [G] he has an expression of Buddha-like [C] serenity
[D] plastered all over his [C] face.
[G] And you wonder why [C] he is so serene.
[G] And then, [C] possibly you look to his dashboard,
[G] and there you see, [C]
glowing in the [G] afternoon sunlight,
[C#] [G]
about a 4-inch high [D] [G]
plastic [C] icon.
[G] [C]
It [G] is merely supplying this [C] serenity to him.
[G] [D] [C] Maybe this is how he heard [G] about it
and achieved this kind of satire.
