F/G   F/G   F/G  F/G  
I lay my head_ On the railroad track_ Stare at the sky_ All painted up_
DYour train is gone, won't be comin' Gback
(CHORUS)
D   C   G- C  A  
See the constellation, ride across the sky
GNo ciDgar no Clady on his Aarm, Gjust a Dguy made of Cdots and Glines
GJust a Dguy made of Cdots and Glines
Two years ago_ Moved from my town_ I was looking up_ Past the city lights_
But the city lights got in my way
(CHORUS)
(For this verse, there is no guitar, the base is playing F and G in the same
rythm as the chords in the other verses)
I found my mind_ On the ground below_ I was looking up_ It was looking back_
I was in the sky all dressed in black
(CHORUS:Which is extended with...)
G   D   C- F  
Just a guy made of dots_ and_ lines_
(Some improv here, then play the riff over this)
Can you hear what I see in the sky?
At the end, there's something going on with a G chord. Some bending and
stuff. listen to the song and play with it.
