Start Jamming...
[Bbm]
I used [Eb] to live in New [Ab] York City.
[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm] Everything [Ebm] there was [Ab] dark and dirty.
[Db] [Ab] [Bbm]
Outside [Eb] my window [Ebm] [Ab] was a [Dbm] [D] steeple
[E] [Ab] [Bbm]
with a [Bb] [A] clock that always said [Ab] 12.30.
[Db]
Young girls are coming to [Ab] the canyon
and [Gb]
in [Bbm] the morning I can see them [Ab]
walking.
[Db]
I can no longer keep my [Ab]
blinds drawn.
I [Gb]
can't keep myself [Db] from talking.
[Bbm]
At first [Eb] so strange to feel [Ab] so friendly.
[Db] [Ab] [Bbm]
To say [Ebm] good morning and really [Ab]
mean it.
[Db] [Ab] [Bbm]
To feel [Eb] these changes [Ab] happening in [Dbm] me.
[E] [Ab] [Bbm]
But [A] not to notice till [Ab] I feel it.
[Db]
Young girls are coming to [Ab] the canyon
and [Gb]
in [Bbm] the morning I can see them [Ab]
walking.
[Db]
I can no longer keep [Ab] my blinds drawn.
And [Gb]
I [Gbm] can't keep myself [Db] from talking.
[Bbm]
[Db] The [Eb] cloudy waters cast no [Ab]
reflection.
[Db] [Ab] [Bbm]
Images [Ebm] of beauty lie [Ab] there stagnant.
[Db] [Ab] [Bbm]
[Eb] Vibration pounds [Ebm] in [Ab] no direction.
[E] [Ab] [Bbm]
But my [A] day shattered into [Ab]
fragments.
[Db]
Young girls are coming to [Ab] the canyon
[Gb]
and in the [Bbm] morning I can see [Ab] them walking.
[Db]
I can no longer keep [Ab] my blinds drawn.
[Gb] [Gbm]
