Biography:
Camper Van Beethoven is an alternative rock band that was founded in 1983 in Redlands, California, though the band soon moved to Santa Cruz, California. Camper Van Beethoven mixed elements of pop, ska, punk rock, folk, country, and acid rock into an eclectic, catchy and sometimes mysterious ensemble, years before the so-called alternative rock moniker came to mainstream attention.
The group's trademark violin-coated melodies and their ironic take on American culture put them one step away from being a novelty act in the eyes of many critics.

Camper Van Beethoven
Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart (album, 1988)
Verse #1 (in 4/4 time)
A E F#m E A E F#m E
How can I believe that everything in this world is going to be fine?
A E F#m E A E F#m E
How can I believe that everything in this world has it's place and time?
Chorus (in 3/4 time)
D A E F#m
When I lay down to sleep, I feel the world spin
Bm A E D
Slightly off axis, it's shaped like a fig
D A E F#m
And when I lie next to you, I shiver and shake
Bm A E D
You tell me you love me, I dream I'm awake
Back to Verse (in 4/4) A E F#m E
A E F#m E A E F#m E
How can I believe that everything in this world is going to be fine?
A E F#m E A E F#m E
How can I believe that everything in this world has it's place and time?
Chorus #2 (3/4)
D A E F#m
'cause when I lay down to sleep, I have the same dream
Bm A E D
Of a world-famous actress in a pink limousine
D A E F#m
And she flies through the sky in that pink Cadillac
Bm A E D
While the boys of the press, we drink vodka in back
D A E F#m
And she tells us our fortune by crumbling leaves
Bm A E D
And she teaches us card tricks, the jack makes us weak
D A E F#m Bm A
She divines water by dancing a jig for the boys of the press
E F#m
She will whistle a pitch
