*from 'Astral Weeks' (1967)
*CAPO 2nd FRET*
(Original Key: A)
Intro:
G, C
Verse 1:
G C
If I ventured in the slipstream,
G C
Between the viaducts of your dream.
G C
Where immobile steel rims crack,
G C
And the ditch in the back roads stop.
Chorus 1:
G Em
Could you find me?
G Em
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
G Em
To lay me down,
G Em
In silence easy;
G C
To be born again,
G C
To be born again.
Verse 2:
G C
From the far side of the ocean,
G C
If I put the wheels in motion.
G C
And I stand with my arms be-hind me,
G C
And I'm pushin' on the door.
Chorus 2:
G Em
Could you find me?
G Em
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
G Em
To lay me down,
G Em
In silence easy;
G C
To be born again,
G C
To be born again.
Verse 3:
G C
There you go,
G C
Standin' with the look of avarice,
G C
Talkin' to Huddie Ledbetter,
G C
Showin' pictures on the wall,
G C
Whisperin' in the hall.
G C
And pointin' a finger at me.

G C
There you go, there you go,
G C
Standin' in the sun darlin',
G C
With your arms be-hind you,
G C
And your eyes be-fore.
G C
There you go,
G C
Takin' good care of your boy,
G C
Seein' that he's got clean clothes.
G C
Puttin' on his little red shoes,
G C
I see you know he's got clean clothes.
G C
A-puttin' on his little red shoes,
G C
A-pointin' a finger at me.
Verse 5:
G C
And here I am,
G C
Standing in your sad arrest;
G C
Trying to do my very best.
G C
Lookin' straight at you,
G C
Comin' through darlin',
G C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Verse 6:
G C
If I ventured in the slipstream,
G C
Between the viaducts of your dream.
G C
Where immobile steel rims crack,
G C
And the ditch in the back roads stop.
Chorus 3:
G Em
Could you find me?
G Em
Would you kiss-a my eyes?
G Em
To lay me down,
G Em
In silence easy;
Verse 7:
G C
To be born again,
G C
To be born again,
G C
To be born again.
G C
In another world, in another world,
G C
In another time; got a home on high.
G
Ain't nothing but,
C
A stranger in this world,
G
I'm nothing but,
C
A stranger in this world
G C
I got a home on high,
G C
In another land,
G C
So far a-way,
G C
So far a-way.
G C
Way up in the heaven,
G C
Way up in the heaven,
G C
Way up in the heaven,
G C
Way up in the heaven.
G C
In another time,
G C
In another place,
G C
In another time,
G C
In another place.
G C
Way up in the heaven,
G C
Way up in the heaven,
G C
We are goin' up to heaven,
G C
We are goin' to heaven.
G C
In another time,
G C
In another place,
G C
In another time,
G C
In another place,
G C
In another face.
