Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is a relatively simple song- some of the chords may not be lined up perfectly
with the lyrics so i apologize
intro:
G B
ooooooooh aaaaaaooooh aaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaa
C7 Cm7/Eb
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaohhhhwooooooooooooOOOoooo
Verse 1:
C7 Dsus4 D (add 4)
It was the opposite of fire and rain, you know the song
C7 Dsus4 D(add 4)
I never thought i'd see this guy again, but i was wrong
C7 Dsus4 D(add 4)
Oh! every five years since nineteen seventy-two
C7 Dsus4 D(add 4)
When at recess he recruited me to try to kick the church down to the ground
Chorus:
G B
Michael Praytor- so random
C7
who knows why some satellites
Eb G
come by and by while others disappear
B
into the sky
Interlude:
the interlude is played over C while playing these notes: b-e-a-d-g-c-f#-a-e-g-d-c-b-a-g-f#-e
with a quick return to C7 for verse 2. this is easy to comprehend if you listen to the song.
Verse 2: same as the first
Good morning mirror break the change to me
i try to stay too close to see
that there's a pattern in the tiles and a fool who marks the miles
it was long hair- and this time it was no hair
seeming thin, divorced, inspired
engaged in chemo- born again and fired
Chorus two: same as the first one, but leads into the bridge-
G B
Michael Praytor- so random
C7 Eb
Who knows why some satellites come by and by
G B
while others disappear into the sky
C7 Cm7/Eb
disappear- into the sky........Hey!
Bridge: F-C-Eb-Bb-G
Verse 3: same as the other verses
At hanes mall parking lot at 5 am I saw him sleeping in his car
I'd been up all night from new york bummin' out on '95
and we're thirty and we all live with our parents
"and my wife," he said, "she kicked me out"
I said same here, guess i'll see you around
Final chorus: same as the last ones
Michael Praytor
Michael praytoooor
MiCHael- Praytorrr
michael praytorr
so random
who knows why some satellites come by and then they, disappear?
with the lyrics so i apologize
