"Life In the D"(Benson)
 From "Lapalco"(2002)
 Intro:  Dmaj7   Gx2 
 My Dmaj7life in the GD is a tragic cDmaj7omedy, a poetic vGerse
 It's Dmaj7voodoo some Gsay,black magic eDmaj7touffee
 A dead man's cGurse
 IEt's just F#mlike the Egyptian Amtombs
 Its ETunnels lF#mead me to empty rAooms
           G             A              D   Em7(once)
 Skeptics think it's a doctored photo
 N.C.       A(g-f#) 
 Of a U.F.O        
   Dmaj7   GX2 (with "ufo")
 You're wasting your breath on life after death
 'Cos I'm almost sure
 If hell does exist,then the Devil's a scientist
 Finding the cure
 It's life microscopic sized
 Unseen by the naked eye
 The answer's encoded with ink
 That's invisible
 Melodica Solo ( Dmaj7   GX4)
 When God made the earth and saw his net worth
 He posed for a shot
 And life in the D is what was handed to me
 And that's what I've got
 It's all just a hologram
 Locked in a vault it's a cryptogram
 A lie on the Polygraph test
 It's undetectable
 It's undetectable....
 Although this is obvious if you
 know the song,the "it's life.."
 and "it's all.." verses
 use the  E   F#m   Ametc 
 chord progression.
