Track 12 - Let the Lead Fly (2009)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Standard Tuning; capo 2nd fret.
[Verse]
D Bm
Beneath that yellow glowing street lamp
G D
A pretty girl sat weeping
D Bm G D
Same way I’ve seen her do about a hundred times before
D Bm G D
Tears were falling down into a puddle upon the asphalt
D Bm G D D
Pretty one’s a crying in that Ho Jo parking lot
[Verse]
D Bm G D
It was the first time in my sixteen years that I heard Mr. Big played
D Bm G D
Not the one you’re thinking of it’s the lyrics of a pimp
Bm G D
Coming out hard, we were living large
D Bm G D
In the Howard Johnson parking lot Saturday night
[Chorus]
G Em
Feel your way into a blue lit room
D A G
Where the smoke’s so thick from the cigarettes and the weed your brother bought you
[Verse]
D Bm G D
Katie got her braces off at 12 o’clock on Thursday
D Bm G D
If the evening goes as planned then we’ll be frenching in my car
D Bm G D
Too many coolers and she’s puking in the bushes
D Bm G D
Of the Howard Johnson parking lot Saturday night
[Chorus]
G Em
Feel your way into a blue lit room
D A G
Where the smoke’s so thick from the cigarettes and the weed your brother bought you
G A
G A
[Bridge]
D Em G
Hazy rings around the moon
D Em G A
Forget the springtime cause the summers coming soon
D Em G
Everything seems just right
D C G
You can feel it in the air tonight
D C G D
And you can feel it in the air tonight
[Verse]
D Bm G D
Well, the pretty one is still weeping ‘neath that yellow glowing street lamp
D Bm G D
I really wish she’d knock it off but you know I won’t say so
D Bm G D
Probably go console her and try to take her home
D Bm G D
So we can make out in her driveway on Silver Spur Road
