Jimmy Dean and Steve McQueen
G Bm7
The world has gone and changed on me
D C
Destoyed my whole philosophy
G Bm7
My faith was strong it never shook
D C
One levee break was all it took
Am D
Can we roll away
G Em
into a sunset fading on a silver screen?
Am D
Can you show the way?
G Bm7
Georgie sold us out today
D C
For a pair of sneakers and a full week's pay
G Bm7
The landlord wants me out of town
D C
Or else he gonna put you in the ground
Am D
Can we run away
G Em
To where blue skies make up all the scenery?
Am D D#m7 B5
Can you show the way?
Chorus
Em Bm C Am Bm
Save me Jimmy Dean, save me Steve McQueen
Em Bm C Am Bm
Wake me from this dream, show me what it means
Em Bm
Three runs down in the bottom of the ninth
C Am Bm
If I could pick two guys to be on my side
C D
It would be Jimmy Dean & Mr. Steve McQueen
The world is getting awful strange
People get their faces rearranged
High cheekbones and a plastic nose
But I liked Mike when he was 10-years old
Can we turn it back
To the time inside our parents' photographs?
Can you bring it back?
Chorus
Em Bm C Am Bm
Save me Jimmy Dean, save me Steve McQueen
Em Bm C Am Bm
Wake me from this dream, show me what it means
Em Bm
Three runs down in the bottom of the ninth
C Am Bm
If I could pick two guys to be on my side
C D
It would be Jimmy Dean & Mr. Steve McQueen
F Em
Just tell me yes or no
F G
How does this story go?
Am Bm
Whether we take it fast or we take it slow
C D D#m7 B5
I hate to ask, but there's one thing I've got to know
The world has gone and changed on me
The way things were will never be
1 and 2 came crumbling down
We act as if they're still around
Can we move ahead
And forget about the images inside our heads?
Can we wake the dead?
Chorus
Em Bm C Am Bm
Save me Jimmy Dean, save me Steve McQueen
Em Bm C Am Bm
Wake me from this dream, show me what it means
Em Bm
Three runs down in the bottom of the ninth
C Am Bm
If I could pick two guys to be on my side
Four runs down in the bottom of the ninth
If I could pick two guys to be on my side
Five runs down, six runs down, seven runs down, eight runs down
Nine runs down, ten runs down, I dunno how we're gonna turn this game around...
