Start Jamming...
The ladies in my dream are so [D] obliging
[E] They come on down to do the [A] things I
[E] need
[A] Whether skies are calm or cut [D] apart by lightning
[E] They're always there to minister [A] to me
[F#m] And at break of dawn they're [A] sweetly shining
[F#m] Or at quiet of midnight [E] cold and dim
They say, [D] don't harm him
And when [E] I wake, just as their eyes are [A] crying
I [D] see [F#m] that bed and I just wanna [E] climb back in
[F#m] But let's gather up your [D] friends and drive off [A] to that [E] country end
We can [F#m] stay there feeling [D] warm when we [A] wash across our [E] skin
And bring [D] back all of [E] our tears so that we [A] can cry them again
[E]
[F#m] [E] You [A] wanna tell your dad you can't [D] believe he's dying
[E] Let's just walk on down the hall and [A] shut our [E] mouths
The [A] AM radio is broken [D] down and crying
Cause [E] on this hour drive we're silent [A] to ourselves
Let's [F#m] go back up to your house [A] and take our clothes off
[F#m] And just push and pull ourselves [E] until we're deep [D] inside asleep
And [E] leave your body next to me, [A] it's sleepy [D] sighing
[F#m] Sounds like waves upon a sea too [E] far to reach
[F#m] But I'll gather [D] up my men and [A] try to sail on [E] in again
[F#m] And we'll walk and [D] quietly talk all [A] through the country [E] of your skin
Made [F#m] up of pieces [D] of the places [A] that you dreamed [E] that you've been
And we [F#m] will sleep [D] outside and dance upon [A] this unfamiliar [E] land
And [D] in the morning we'll [E] awake, yeah as [F#m] the foreign [D] dawning breaks
My [A] men and I will [E] all awake, let's [A] try again
