Intro

[G] [C]

Verse 1

[G]If I ventured in the [C]slipstream,
[G]Between the viaducts [C]of your dream.
[G]Where immobile steel rims [C]crack,
[G]And the ditch in the back roads [C]stop.

Chorus 1

[G]Could you find [Em]me?
[G]Would you kiss-a my [Em]eyes?
[G]To lay me [Em]down,
[G]In silence [Em]easy;
To be born [G]again, [C]
To be born [G]again. [C]

Verse 2

[G]From the far side of the [C]ocean,
[G]If I put the wheels in [C]motion.
[G]And I stand with my arms behind [C]me,
[G]And I'm pushin' on the [C]door.

Chorus 2

[G]Could you find [Em]me?
[G]Would you kiss-a my [Em]eyes?

[G]In silence [Em]easy;
To be born [G]again, [C]
To be born [G]again. [C]

Verse 3

[G]There you [C]go,
[G]Standin' with the look of [C]avarice,
[G]Talkin' to Huddie [C]Ledbetter,
[G]Showin' pictures on the [C]wall,
[G]Whisperin' in the [C]hall.
[G]And pointin' a finger at [C]me.
[G]There you go, there you [C]go,
[G]Standin' in the sun [C]darlin',
[G]With your arms behind [C]you,
[G]And your eyes [C]before.
[G]There you [C]go,
[G]Takin' good care of your [C]boy,
[G]Seein' that he's got clean [C]clothes.
[G]Puttin' on his little red [C]shoes,
[G]I see you know he's got clean [C]clothes.
[G]A-puttin' on his little red [C]shoes,
[G]A-pointin' a finger at [C]me.

Verse 4

[G]And here I [C]am,
[G]Standing in your sad [C]arrest;
[G]Trying to do my very [C]best.
[G]Lookin' straight at [C]you,
[G]Comin' through [C]darlin',
[G]Yeah, yeah, [C]yeah.

Verse 5

[G]If I ventured in the [C]slipstream,
[G]Between the viaducts of your [C]dreams.
[G]Where immobile steel rims [C]crack,
[G]And the ditch in the back roads [C]stop.

Chorus 3

[G]Could you find [Em]me?
[G]Would you kiss-a my [Em]eyes?
[G]Lay me [Em]down,
[G]In silence [Em]easy;
To be born [G]again, [C]
To be born [G]again, [C]
To be born [G]again, [C]
In another world, in another [G]world, [C]
In another time; got a home on [G]high. [C]

Verse 6

[G]Ain't nothing but
A stranger in this [C]world,
[G]I'm nothing but
A stranger in this [C]world
[G]I got a home on [C]high,
[G]In another [C]land,
[G]So far [C]away,
[G]So far [C]away.
[G]Way up in the [C]heaven,
[G]Way up in the [C]heaven,
[G]Way up in the [C]heaven,
[G]Way up in the [C]heaven.
[G]In another [C]time,
[G]In another [C]place,
[G]In another [C]time,
[G]In another [C]place.
[G]Way up in the [C]heaven,
[G]Way up in the [C]heaven,
[G]We are goin' up to [C]heaven,
[G]We are goin' to [C]heaven.
[G]In another [C]time,
[G]In another [C]place,
[G]In another [C]time,
[G]In another [C]place,
[G]In another [C]face.
