(Tuned up half step on record)
Verse 1
(D)                       Am  G  
Because once you changed an island gale
And in CDingle land as Amfar
as CConneDmara
And Amsomehow you Gfound that strange
It isn’t Chard to undersAmtand
It’s just a Cdifferent lDand
Chorus
(D)                    G          C  D  
It’s like you say close your eyes
And come and Gcross Cmy streetD  
And I Gwill take Cyou thereD  
If you will Gcome with mCe
But there’s an accordance with a Amsong that Csays come Don
Verse
What was wrong with the choice you made
If I don’t wanna set it down in a Cornish town
And what was wrong with loves that came
Well nothing to be true
When loves us too
Chorus
It’s like you say close your eyes
And come and cross my street
And I will take you there
If you will come with me
But there’s an accordance with a song that says come on
Bridge
It says come Gon
It says come Don
That says come Gon
(G)
What am I?
What am I?
What am I?
What am DI?
(G)
What am I?
What am I?
What am I?
What am DI?
DYou shown your colors too young
You know you’re some fine baby
You’re trailing colors through you
I know you’re some fine baby
Chorus
(Na Na Na part over chorus chords)
So this is nothing but soul fire
Or fields over down
There’s no frenzies out
Off of Armagnac or brown
No razorblades
Raining mainly upon the plains
Where things won’t change
Na na na na
Repeat and fade
