[A]
[E]
[C#] [B]
Oh, I met you on a [C#m]
midway [E] on a fellow street.
[F#] I [E] discovered I'm like a [A] movie [F#] in a black [E] man's ear.
[D] You were playing on [A] the horses,
[E] playing on the street.
You [D]
[C#m] were playing like a devil wearing [E]
wings.
[C#m] [D] Wearing wings, [F#m] you looked so [G] [D] grand, [C#m] wearing [B] [E]
wings.
[F#]
Oh, [D] you're clad and to your [A] shoulder, [E] just to [F#] say,
[D] Can you fly?
I [G] heard you [F#m] can.
[D] Can [C#m] you fly?
[E] [F#]
Like [D] an eagle doing [A] his hunting [E] from the sky.
[A]
[E]
[C#m] [B] Oh,
[A] you [E]
showed another town, [B] and I found you in [A] a trailer,
[F#] [G#] [E] camping ground.
[F#]
You were [E] betting on [A] some [E] lover
and shooting up the day.
[D] [A] And I thought I saw you cheating [E] once or twice.
[F#]
[D] Once or [E] twice, I heard you [D] did.
Once [C#m] or
[E] twice.
[F#] Were [D] you wondering was the [C#m] gamble worth the
[E] price?
[F#]
Talk [D] it in, you [G] did.
[D] Talk [C#m] it
[E] in.
[F#] Was it [D] so hard to fold a [C#m] hand you knew [E] could win?
[A]
[E]
[B]
So lately you've [C#m] been [E] hiding.
[A] It was [E] somewhere in the noon.
[F#]
[B] You know I'm [E] still at these [C#m] races [A] with my ticket [E] stubs
[F#] and my
[C#m]
blind [D] calls [A] are the number [E]
sometimes [D] [F#m] just mine.
[F#] But [A] I feel like I'm the one getting over [E] time.
Over [D] time, [F#m] I've [G] lost my [F#m] fire.
Over [A] time, [B] [F#]
[D] always playing one [C#] more [C#m] hand for [E] one more dime.
I'm slowing [D] [E] down and [F#m] getting tired.
[D]
[A] Slowing down.
[E]
[F#m] [B] And [D] I envy you the [B] valley [C#m]
[E] that you [Bm] [E] found.
[F#] [D] Cause I'm [E] midway, [F#m] down [C#m] the midway.
[A]
[C#m] [E] Slowing down.
[F#]
[D] Down.
[A]
[F#]
[A] [D] [E]
[C] [E]
[A#]
Thank [E] you very much.
[B] Yes, [D#] we're gonna do it.
[E] [Em]
[A] [E]
[Em] We're gonna do a [A#] couple more by [Bm] ourselves, me and Freebo [E] here,
and then we're gonna have some little feet and some more surprises for all in Taino.
[Em]
[E] This is a song written by Paul Siebel, who lives [G] up in New [F] York.
Real good [E] songwriter.
[G]
I'd like to dedicate this from the women to the men in the audience.
[Em]
