[A]
[A] [B]
Well, I walked over the bridge into the [B] city where I live and I [F#] saw my old landlord.
[B] Now we [A] both said hello, there was nowhere else to go, it's a rent I couldn't afford.
[F#] Now relationships change, though I [B] think it's kind of strange, money makes a man grow.
[B] Well, [F#] some people, they claim if [B] you get enough fame you live over the rainbow, [F#]
[B] over the [A] rainbow.
[F#] But the people on the street, out [B] on buses, out on feet, we [F#] all got the same blood [B] flow.
While [F#] in society, [B] every dollar got a D, [C#] we all need a place where [A] we can go [C#] and feel over the [A] rainbow.
But sometimes we [B] forget what [C#] we've got, [F#] oh who we are, [B] oh and who we are not.
[C#] I think [F#] we got our chance, [B] make it right, [F#] we keep it [A] loose, yeah, [B] keep it [E] tight, [A] Lord [F#]
keep it tight.
[A] I'm in love with a [F#] girl who's [B] in love with the world and [F#] I can't help but to follow.
[B] Though I know [A] someday [B] she's bound to fly away and stay over the [A] rainbow,
gotta [C#] learn how to let her [A] go over [C#] the [A] rainbow.
But sometimes we [B] forget who [C#] we've got, who [A] they are, well [B] and who they are [C#] not.
There [A] is so much more [B] in love than black and [C#] white,
[F#] gotta keep it loose now, child,
[B] and keep [C#] it tight.
Gotta keep it loose now, child,
[B] and keep it [E] tight.
[A]
[B] Lord keep [E] it tight, [A]
[F#m] keep it [E] tight.
[A] [B]
Keep it [E] loose,
[C#] keep it tight is just sort of like the tune, the first song on the first record.
I love playing it, I just really like a lot of the diversity in the lyrics and I like the story it tells a lot.
I'm sort of absent from the song, I'm in it but I'm not really in it, I'm only in it for a minute.
[G] [F]
And it stays alive for me, I play that almost every time I do something like this, four or five songs or something.
I find it to be a pretty good representation of where I started as a songwriter.
It's a pretty simple concept, it's not easy to do but it's an easy thing to say.
