THE GREAT BICYCLE DISASTER
by Kelly McGuire
INTRO - D G D G
Verse 1:
D G
On a hill that was bigger than any I knew
G D
I learned the thrill of the wind as I flew
Bm F#m
On the edge of catastrophe fast as I could
G A
Adrenaline pumped in my blood
G A
Adrenaline pumped in my blood
Verse 2:
D G
Then a trip to the library opened a world
G D
Of whalers and pirates and breakers that curled
Bm F#m
Around Beaches on islands just pages away
G A
From where I am anchored today
G A
From where I am anchored today
Chorus 1:
D G
Cause I’m a writer and a sailor and a singer of songs
G D
And I’ll take you places if you’ll come along
Bm F#m
From a sunset in Key West to the Seattle rain
G A
I’ll show you the colors of pleasure and pain
D G
And I’m a constant observer of the humanoid race
G D
Addicted to children with smiles on their face
Bm F#m
And I’m a hopeless romantic that can’t help but dream
G A
Eclectically challenged it seems
G A
Eclectically challenged it seems
D G D G (same as Intro)
Verse 3:
D G
Once I took a chance and I gave up my heart
G D
But before the dance ended it didn’t quite start
Bm F#m
And I’ve played that song over and over again
G A
But I still can’t figure out why
G A
No I still can’t figure out why
Verse 4:
D G
But it’s a circular motion this travel thru time
G D
Your journey’s not over and neither is mine
Bm F#m
There’s a new chapter written each day you can read
G A
Extrapolate all that you need
G A
Extrapolate all that you need
Chorus 2:
D G
Cause I’m a writer and a sailor and a singer of songs
G D
And I’ll take you places if you’ll come along
Bm F#m
From a sunset in Key West to the Seattle rain
G A
I’ll show you the colors of pleasure and pain
D G
And I’m desperate survivor of the humanoid race
G D
Addicted to children with smiles on their face
Bm F#m
And I’m a troubadour destined to sing what he sees
G A
That aging explorer is me
G A
Oh that aging explorer is me
D G D G (same as Intro)
D G
On a hill that was bigger than any I knew
G D
I learned the thrill of the wind as I flew.
