[D] [C] [G] [Em] [A]
[D] [C] [G] When [D] I was only [C] a tiger, [G] I [D] still remember [C] the time, [D] when there was nothing [C] to know or
to think about, except [G] the sound of [A] my [D] mind.
[C] [G] And the sound of [A] my [D] sides, dancing [G] around, carried the [Am] vibe.
Dancing [G] though she [C] used to, and [G] the world first spoke [C] to me [G] in the sense of her [D] hands.
[E] [Am]
[C] [D] Did mama know she [C] was a spackle?
[D] She might have come to [C] see [G] Jaws.
[D] Instead of picking [C] the pen with the sound effects, [G] they might have picked [A] the plane.
[C] [G] And I've been thinking [A] of [D] San [G] Surban, down to [A] the bottom.
Dancing [G] though she [C] used to, and [G] the world first spoke [C] to me [G] in the sense of her [D] hands.
[E] [Am] [C]
[D] I stood there [C] in the [G] cold night, [E] and [A] was thin.
[D] When I [C] accidentally [G] got too [Em] far [A] down and found the [D] center.
[C] [D] I still don't know [C] who conceived it, [G] or where they got [C] the idea.
[D] But there it was [C] in me now, by the exit sign, [G] a wolf covered [A] in blood.
[C] [G] Fish and cooks, who [A] managed to [G] get to the center there, were down and [Am] through the fire.
San [G] Surban, to give [C] his kingdom, [G] made the greatness [C] realistic.
[E] When [G] the action, [Em] escaped, [A]
[G] one degree, shy, [C] I slipped in.
[G] And the world first spoke to me in the sense of her [D] hands.
[E] [Am] [Em]
[D] [Em]
[G]
[C] If
[G] [Am] [C]
[G] [D] I could swim [C] under the water, [G] [D] without having [C] to breathe.
[D] If I could follow [C] the trail of some deer, some god, [G] I'd forget no what [A] they'd be.
[C] [G] Down the wood, [A] far away, [D] San [G] Surban, down to [Am] the bottom.
[G] Sensible that she [C] used to know, made [G] the greatness realistic.
When the action, [A] prolific, one [G] degree shy, I [C] slipped in.
[G] And the world first spoke [C] to me [G] in the sense of her [D] hands.
[E] [Am] [C] [Eb] [Bb]
