F                               C
Sometimes there’s no star shining
F                               C
Scouting the edge of the universe
F                               C
Sometimes you can’t see a horizon
F                             C
Between the ocean and the earth
F                                    C            B
And just when you were thinking about slinkin’ down
Bb
I’m gonna pull you up – I’m gonna pull ya round

F                             
May I remind you of that scene?
C                        
The spirit is our gasoline
F                             
May I remind you of that scene?
         C     Bb       C   D#     
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
F
May I remind you of that scene?
C
Let a million mirror balls beam
F                             C
May I remind you of that scene?

F                                           C
And you say ‘living ain’t nothing but hassles’
F                        C 
In a manilla envelope rain
F                                   C  B                              
And driving coal all-night to Newcastle
               Bb
It’s getting to be a repetitive strain

And just when you thought you're going down the drain …

F          
May I remind you of that scene?
C
The spirit is our gasoline
F
May I remind you of that scene?
         C      Bb      C   D#
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
F

F                                    G#
They say the stars can’t see their rays
C                                   D#
Nor can they count their numbered days
F                                G#
No flower can says what perfume is
C                              D#
We got all this and Bird and Diz
F                            G#
May I remind you of that scene?
