[Verse 1]
F#m Emaj
Lost my way graduation day
D
One sunny morning, one spectacular May
F#m Emaj
I got far too charming on chardonnay
D
And I woke up naked out on Biscayne Bay
F#m Emaj
Now I know the night like the back of my day
D
But I'm having a hard time finding my way
F#m Emaj
Having one hell of a time finding my way
D
Back to a tall stand of pines.
[Verse 2]
F#m Emaj
I shacked up with dame with the sun in her mane
D
Velvet loins and a funny last name
F#m Emaj
I had no way of knowing why she was going insane
D
Til the law caught her D-E-A-ling cocaine
F#m Emaj
You have no idea how much that explains
D
But it's safe to say I lost more than a day
F#m Emaj
Just another wrong turn on a long way around
D
To the pines...
[Chorus 1]
Amaj D
Pardon me handsome stranger
Emaj
Do you happen to know the time
F#m
I can't find a trace of
D Emaj
nineteen eighty-eight or eighty-nine
A D
If you see the ghost of my daredevil
Emaj
youth go racing by
F#m D
flag him down and let him know
Emaj
that I've been running a good ways behind
F#m
And he can wait for me
D Emaj F#m
In the shade of a tall stand of pines
Emaj D quickly(F#m F#m Emaj)
A tall stand of pines .....
[Verse 3]
F#m Emaj
I fell under the spell of a pansexual belle
D
With one bare foot in heaven and one high heel in hell
F#m Emaj
She caught onto my fears with her keen sense of smell
D
Man, if handcuffs could talk all the tales they could tell
F#m Emaj
Somehow I clawed my way up the walls of her well
D
Then I shook off the moss and saw how far I fell
F#m Emaj
Another bombshell successfully repelled
D
on the way to the pines...
[Chorus 2]
Amaj D
Pardon me handsome stranger
Emaj
Do you happen to know the time
F#m
I can't find a trace of

F#m
And he can wait for me
D Emaj F#m
If the shade of a tall stand of pines
Emaj D quickly(F#m F#m Emaj)
A tall stand of pines.....
[Verse 4]
F#m Emaj
Now I've sailed in the keys and I've scaled the Cascades
D
And I've stared down a gator in the Florida 'glades
F#m Emaj
I just winked and I waved and I waited away
D
To go chasin tornados in the panhandle plains
F#m Emaj
I've been mouthed in Manhattan, I've been lipped in LA
D
I've been fingered in 'Frisco and I'm not even gay
F#m Emaj
I got high in the john at the white house one day
D
Then I picked up a page and I got my ass laid
F#m Emaj
No I can't take away the mistakes that I've made
D
But it's been a sweet ride...
F#m Emaj
Lost on a long way around
D
To a tall stand of pines...
[Chorus 3]
