Cape Canaveral

[G]

[G]Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
[G]I saw your legends lined up
And I never felt more natural [Am]
A[Em]part, I just cam[Am]e     a[Em]part

[G]Please, please, please sister Socrates
[G]You always answer with a question
Show some kindness to a petty thief [Am]
For[Em]give, you di[Am]d    for[Em]give

Watch the [C]migrants smoke in the [D]old orange grove
And the [G]red rocket blaze over [C]Cape Canaveral
You’ve been a [C]father to me In [D]1960’s speak
In the [G]comatose joy like [C]we’re on TV
While the m[Am]ountain’s side was shining
Wild colors of my destiny [G]
I watched your [Am]face age backwards
Changing shape in my memory  [G]
You taught me [Am]victory’s sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats [G]

[G] [G] [Am] [Em] [Am] [Em]

[G]Hey, hey, hey mother interstate
[G]Can you deliver me from evil
Make me honest make me wedding cake  [Am]
A[Em]tone, I wil[Am]l  ato[Em]ne
[G]Wait, wait, wait mighty outer-space
[G]All that flying saucer terror
Made me lazy drinking lemonade [Am]
A [Em]waste, it just[Am] went     to [Em]waste

Like the [C]Freon cold out the [D]hotel door
Or the [G]white rocket fade over [C]Cape Canaveral
You’ve been a [C]daughter to me your [D]buried shoe-box grief
I felt your [G]poltergeist love like [C]savannah heat
While the [Am]waterfall was pouring
Crazy symbols of my destiny [G]
I watched your [Am]face die backwards
Little baby in my memory [G]
You told me [Am]victory's sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats [G]

[C]And you don’t judge m[Em]e       [C]
That’s not your [D]style    [C]
But I won’t see you[Em]
for a [Bm]little while      [C]
And there’s no [Em]worries, oh lord[C]
Whose got [D]time       [C]
All these changes are[Em] going to fill your[D] mind

Like the [C]citrus glow off the [D]old orange grove
Or the [G]red rocket blaze over [C]Cape Canaveral
It’s been a [C]nightmare to me Some 19[D]80’s greed
Gives me [G]parachute dreams Like [C]old war movies
While the [Am]universe was drawn Perfect circles form infinity [G]
I watched the [Am]stars get smaller
Tiny diamonds in my memory [G]
I know that [Am]victory is sweet
Even deep in the cheap seats [G]
