Newport Folk Fest 2008

 

G   C x4

 

G                        C

somewhere under all this junk's

G                     C

a cage bought for the lemming

 

G   C x2

 

G                   C

and here’s a box of bottles

G                           D

that never made it from the room

G          C   

skillfully defaced

G                            Em

there hangs a shot of Peggy Fleming

C         D                        C

and dusty tapestries don’t let the light invade the gloom

 

G   C x4

 

G            C

cd's without cases

G                  C

cover every single surface

 

G   C x2

 

G                  C         

cases without cd’s are

G                  D

strewed across the floor

G                     C

magazines and plastic thing

G                     Em

and too much stuff to mention

C       D                 C         

sits in piles while Peggy smiles and stares out through the door

 

           G

and when I hear

    C

you calling

     G            Em

over air and over wire

D                              C

I will take a running leap and barely clear the fire

G                      C

others watch and point and laugh

D                  Em

he stumbles now he slips and

D                   G       C

Peggy I will follow in thin air and off of cliffs

D            G

Peggy I will follow

 

G   C x4

 

somewhere under all this dust

are long lost good intentions

 

looking for them now

will only agitate the mess

I got a note from Peggy

you were indirectly mentioned

 

and why you changed her image

I don’t even want to guess

 

and when I hear

you calling

over air and over wire

I will take a running leap and barely clear the fire

others watch and point and laugh

he stumbles now he slips

and Peggy I will follow in thin air and off of cliffs

Peggy I will follow

 

and when I hear you calling

over air and over wire

I will take a running leap and barely clear the fire

others watch and point and laugh

he stumbles now he slips

and Peggy I will in thin air and off of cliffs

Peggy I will follow
