Cynthia - Blue Rodeo ------- Words and Music by: Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy >From the CD: Five Days in July Original transcription by: [email protected] (Richard Tarkka) Modified by: [email protected] (Drake Hirasawa)
Changes to original transcription include adding lyrics for 2nd and 3rd verses, and chord changes in the chorus. Also note: Chords have been changed to show a key of C, for use when playing with a capo on the 2nd fret, which is how I believe the song is played on the recording.
Key: D (capo in 2nd fret. Chords shown for key of C).
Intro: C (with alternating bass)
Verse: EmFC So you saw that fire in the sky EmC Well I think that's so cool EmFC And I know that nothing'll change you FG You are nobody's fool
Chorus: CGCF Cynthia won't you take me to CG Pyramid Lake with you FCFC We could watch the spaceships, maybe they'll take us on a trip FDmFGC To that never ending sky, to that wild and endless night.
And you stood in their beam of light And they showed you the bones on the moon Well I hope I get to go there With you real soon
(chorus)
And we get there before the sun sets And we put up your tent Watch the stars dance all night And watch the sun come up (watch that sun coming up)
