In 1975 I had a manager called David Evans.
Daisy!
Who remembers Daisy?
[D#m] Yeah, right.
[A#] Daisy and I were sent to America in 1975 [Gm] to promote the pinball album.
[G] We flew out to Los Angeles and it was [D] the first time I'd been abroad,
first time I'd been on a plane, I was jet-lagged.
[A#] Our first night there, Daisy and I went down to the [E] bar
of the Continental Heights [Em] on Sunset [E] Boulevard.
And we ordered our drinks and there was [D] a band playing on this little stage.
And Daisy downed his drink in one and said,
I'm going to go for a sauna.
So off he went.
And personally I don't think he went for a sauna.
He went to it.
I think he wanted a little social interaction.
Anyway, he left me with my drink and the band played.
And the [A#] band stopped playing and the lead [E] singer said,
anyone want to come on down, there's a room full of musicians.
So before I could put my hand up, from a little alcove in the corner,
Stevie Wonder
[D] was led to the piano and sang Sunshine of My Life
and a couple of other songs.
But then he said, I'd like to do a song.
I can't do it.
I'd like to do a song I wrote for the Pointer Sisters,
Come On Up Girls and Bugger Me.
[Gm] The Pointer Sisters from the same little alcove
and they went to join [E] Stevie Wonder.
And they jammed until three in the morning.
And I was like, it's a true story.
I think [F#] it's true.
Anyway, I went to bed a happy man and dreamed the whole thing again
all night long.
Woke up in [D] the morning and had no idea whether it was real or not.
And that was the whole sort of feeling of the whole America trip.
This is called Running Through the City.
So [A] this jumbo brought [D] me down upon [A] the land of myth and [D] dreams
And [A] I couldn't speak [D] with wonder [A] as I played through [D] all the scenes
At sunset and the drumming [Em] and the big sign [A] on the hill
I [D] ordered from the menu but [A] I never paid the [D] bill
And [Em] I'm jet lagged and [F#m] I'm weary and [G] I miss my [D] teddy bear
[Em] And the only time [F#m] I called you more [G] than once you were [A] not there
[D] Gone [G] days if you'd be through the crystal air
And [Em] I'm running [D] from [G] nowhere [A] to [D] nowhere
[A]
[D]
[A] On Thursday [D] we set out to find [A] the stars [D] of Beverly
[A] We was in this [D] big black limousine [A] just to see who we could see
[G] And I re [F#m]-nice for Jeanette [D] McCombs [Em] hanging washing on [A] her line
[D] Song on the radio [B] and the voice I heard [D] was mine
And I was singing
[Em] I'm jet lagged [D] and I'm weary [G] and I miss my teddy [D] bear
[Em] And the only time [D] I called you [G] more than once you were [A] not there
[D] Gone [G] days if [D] you'd be through the [G] crystal air
[Em] And I'm running [D] from [G] nowhere [A]
[D] to nowhere
Now [A] the scene's Big Apple City and the club's the [D] bottom line
[A] And it's English [D] minstrel hit the stage
[A] Someone ordered sangria [D] wine
There must be a straker who is here tonight, hello Peter
And I thought about the [D] waterfront [Em] where I used to [A] love to play
I wouldn't want much, the magic [D] makes me wine
[A] Just give it it all
[D] [Em] I'm jet lagged and [D] I'm weary and [G] I miss my teddy [Em] bear
And the only time [D] you called me more [G] than once I was [A] not there
[D] Gone [G]
days if you'd be [D] through the crystal [G] air
And [Em] I'm running from [D] nowhere
[G] [A] to [D] nowhere
[D]
[Em] [D] From nowhere [A] to [D] nowhere
