Enjoy!
I wasn't exactly sure what to call verse vs. chorus vs. bridge, since it's basically
three parts that repeat.
So that's how I labeled them.
Pt I.
A D
The ladies in my dream- so obliging.
E A E
They come on down to do the things I need.
A D
Whether skies are calm or cut apart by lightning,
E A
They’re always there to minister to me.
Pt. II
F#m A
And at break of dawn, they’re sweetly shining.
F#m E D
Or at quiet of midnight, cold and dim, They say “don’t harm him.”
E A D
And when I wake just as their eyes are crying,
F#m E
I see that bed and I just want to climb back in.
Pt. III
F#m D A E
But let’s gather up your friends and drive up to that country inn.
F#m D A E
We can stay there, feeling water warmly wash across our skin,
D E A
Giving back all of our tears so that we can cry them again.
Break
E E F#m F#m
D D E E
Pt. I
A D
You want to tell your dad you can’t believe he’s dying,
E A E
But let’s just walk on down the hall and shut our mouths.
A D
The AM radio is broken down and crying
E A
As on this hour drive we’re silent to ourselves.
Pt. II
F#m A
Let’s go back up to your house, and take our clothes off.
F#m E D
And just push and pull ourselves until we’re deep inside of sleep.
E A D
And with your body next to me, its sleepy sighing
F#m E
Sounds like waves upon a sea too far to reach.
Pt. III ( with slight differences)
F#m D A E
But I’ll gather up my men and try to sail on it again,
F#m D A E
And we’ll walk and quietly talk all through the country of your skin,
F#m D A E
Made up of pieces of the places that you’ve dreamed and that you’ve been.
D A F#M E
And we will sleep outside in tents upon this unfamiliar land,
D E F#m D
And in the morning we’ll awake, yeah, as a foreign dawning breaks,
A E A
My men and I will all awake. Let's try again.
E E F#m F#m
D D E E
Repeat Pt. III Chords through the La La La's
