[Dm] [C] I [Bb] [C]
[F] [C] [Bb] [C]
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [C]
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [C]
[Gm] was once out [Bb] [C] strolling one very hot [Gm] summer's day [Bb] [C] when I thought [Dm] I'd lay [Gm] myself down to
rest [C]
in a [D] big field [Bb] of tall [C] grass.
[Dm] [C] I lay [Bb] there in the [C] sun and [Dm] felt [C] it caressing [Bb] my face [C]
as [Dm] [C] I fell [Bb] asleep [C]
[Dm] and dreamed.
[C] [Bb] [C]
I [D] dreamed I was in a [Bb] Hollywood movie [C]
[F] and that I was the [Gm] star of [Bb] the movie.
[C]
This [Dm] really blew [C] my mind, [Bb] [C]
the fact that [Dm] me, [Gm] an [Bb] over-fed, long [C]-haired, sleeping [F] gnome,
[C] [Fm] should be the star of a Hollywood movie.
[Bb] [C] There [F] I was.
[C] [Bb] [C]
I was [F] taken to a [E] place, [Gm] [C]
[Gm] the hall of the mountain king.
[Cm]
I [Dm] stood [C] high upon [Bb] a mountain top, [C]
[Bb] naked to [C] the world, [Db] [C]
in [Gm] front of [Bb]
every kind of girl.
[C] [Bb]
[D] There [Bb] was long ones, [Gm] tall [Bb] ones, [C] short ones, brown ones, [Dm] black [Gm] ones, brown [Bb] ones, [C] big ones,
[D] crazy ones.
[C] Out [Gm]
of the middle [C] [Bb] [C]
[Gm] came a lady.
[Bb] [C]
[Gm] She whispered [Ab] in my [Gm] ear
[C] something [G] [C] crazy.
[Bb] She
[Gb] said,
[F] [C] Do I [Bb] [C] tick that pearl?
[Dm] [E] [Bb] [E]
[F] [C] [Bb] [C]
[Dm] [E] [Bb] [C]
[Am] I [Bb] thought to myself, [C]
what could [F] that [C] mean?
[Bb] [C]
Am I going [Dm] [E] crazy?
[Gm] [C]
Or is this just a dream?
[Gm] [Fm] Now wait a minute, I know I'm lying in a field [C] of [Bb] grass somewhere.
[C]
So it's all in my head.
[Bb] [C]
[Dm] And then, [C] [Bb] [C]
I heard [Gm] her [C] say, one more time.
[Gm] [C] Do I tick that [Am] pearl?
[F] [E]
[Dm] [Gm] [Bb] [C]
[F] [E] [Bb] [E]
[F] I [C] could feel [Bb] hot flames of [C] fire roaring at [Dm] my [C] back.
[Bb] [C]
As she [Dm] disappeared, [C] [Bb] but soon [C] she returned.
[Dm] [C] [Bb] [C]
In her hand [Bb] was a [C] bottle of wine, [Bb] [C]
in the [Gm] other a [C] glass.
[Gm] [C]
She [Gm] poured some of the wine [C] bottle into the glass, [C] [Bb] [C] and raised it [Bb] to [C] her lips.
[Gm] [C]
And just [Bb] before [C] she drank it, [Bb] [C]
she [Gm] said,
[C] Hey, do [Bb] I tick [C] that pearl?
[Dm] [E] Do [Bb] I [C]
[Dm] [E] [Bb] [Gm]
[C] [Bb] tick [C]
that [Dm] pearl?
[E] [Gb] Yes, [C]
it's all yours.
[Bb] All [C] you gotta do is [Dm] spill [C] that wine.
[Bb] [E] Let [F] me [C] feel.
[Bb] Make [C] me feel hot.
[F] [C] [Bb] [E]
