How could you know that I lived in a desperate world?
How could you dream that we were all made out of stone?
What is the truth, what is the faithful lasting proof?
What is the central theme to this everlasting spoof?
F Eb
Knock on my windows, link up the chains
Bb F
It's gotta be easy, no splinters no pain
F Eb
It's Cadillac rainbows and lots of spaghetti
Bb C
And I love meatballs so you better be ready
F Bb F
I'm going down to the central part of town
I'm going down to the central part of town
Central part of town, I'm going down
I'm going down to the central part of town["Halley's Comet" over doo-wop]
F Bb F
What did I do? And don't be blamin' eat my cashew
F
For everything I do to get the story
Bb F
And everything I do to pull me in
F
And everything I say to get the title
Bb F
But when they use it on me I reject it
F C Bb
What would you do if you ate my daddy's shoes?
What would you say if it was naturally for you?
How would you feel if it rained on ???
How would you like to have your thick strawberry goo?
(Same as "Knock on my windows . . .)
I'm sinking down, it's a glorious feeling
To make a big difference, my body is reeling
Even Carl Sagan can't shine my shoes
`Cause I know deep inside it's got to ??? (mighty fine something)

Probably not the exact way Trey plays
it but it sounds
pretty darn close.
Listen to the song for the right timing.
INTRO CHORDS: D C A# G (it sounds better if you play it in as low a key
as posible)
E|---------------------------------------
B|---------------------------------------
G|---8----6-----------------------------
D|------8----6-------3-4-5-6-----------
A|---------------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------
Repeat that 2 more times.
Then the intro chords again.
Then that lick above again.
Then the intro chords again.
THEN...
E|----------- E|------------
B|----------- B|------------
G|----8----- ha ha ha ha G|----8------ ha ha ha ha
D|-------8-- D|-------8---
A|---------- A|------------
E|----------- E|------------
Then:
D# A#.....C# G#....D#D# drum fill
You do that 4 times.
Then this again:
E|-------------------------------
B|-------------------------------
G|----8-----6-------------------
D|-------8-----6---3-4-5-6-----
A|-------------------------------
Repeat that 2 more times
Then the intro chords again.
Then the riff up above again.
Then the intro chords one more time but slow down to a big ending.
Here is the interlude riff, which Trey plows out
with some killer distortion (sounds better than Tony Iommi on this tape!)
D ---------------7-7--5---------------------------------------------------
A ----5----------5-5--3--8--5---------------------------------------------
E ----5------------------6--3---------------------------------------------
(ring) (ring)
The first triad on the E and A strings really makes the riff, all dissonant
and really deep with a good overdrive..

[sounds like 'bee chiu ba ba b'jingo']
Halley's Comet, I-said-a Halley's Comet (2x)
Halley's Comet (4x)
Halley's Comet, I-said-a Halley's Comet (2x)
