------Dave Graney-------------Rock ?n? Roll is Where I Hide-----------------
Em D C Em
I want to tell you, about my power, about my mysterious kink
D C Em
I used to go about, fully believing, I was invisible
D C Em
The legendary, invisible rock singer, I would open my mouth and spew forth
D C
No blues, no news, just hey mate, yeah you!
Em D C Em
Over here, boo! Just for a moment, I would materialise
Em D C
Anyway, people started to talk, started to talk about this, legendary mysterious
Em D
Loud mouth invisible rock singer cowboy, I began to act cool, come back
C Em
Materialise, even though I wasn?t meaning to, people began to come
D C Em
And see this invisible loud mouth rock singer cowboy, aaah, you know soon
D
People would sit behind me at cafes, and say he thinks he?s invisible watch
C [hold]
Jees you know I hate to keep em waiting I tried my best I got quite upset
Em D
Then I thought, ahh it?s not such a bad thing, to be seen as a guy who
C Em
Thinks he can?t be seen, even though I know I can, it?s quite a trip
Em D C
I mean in certain circumstances certain places, anything goes if you're known
Em D C Em
If you?ve got a name around town as a guy who?ll do anything if nobody?s looking
Em D C
But if any body?s looking, ?cause they think he thinks he can?t be seen
Em Em D
I mean they stare, like they think I can?t see em, it?s like I?m blind
C Em
Like I?m invisible, ah you know soon
Em D C Em
Everybody?s looking, because they think I think nobody?s looking
Em D C Em
So I can?t not be seen so I?m not looking at them, I know exactly where they are
Em D
And even if I was they couldn?t see me because they?re too busy waiting for me
C Em Em D
To dematerialise right there in front of them, actually, what a place to hide
C Em Em
I mean say you were a spy, an undercover man, somebody on the run, what better
D C Em
Place to disappear, what a cover, a lead singer in a rock and roll band
Em D C Em
You?re poor, you?re stoned, you?re a slave to a unnameable half forgotten ambition
Em D C
You?re just another guy on the lost highway, a ramblin? man, a pirate of love
Em Em D C
A rider on the range, a seventh son of a seventh son, a love rustler, a desperado
Em Em
A bastard right royal, entitled to be bad, the man in black,
D C Em Em
John the conqueroo, the worlds forgotten boy, meat man Mr blues, the velvet fog
D C Em
The silver fox, the little cloud that cried, the best dressed chicken in town
