[Verse 1]

D       G          C
Staring out of his window as the world rushes by
D       G          C
Arthur Robinson closes the glass and replies,
D   G            C
"I dream of Ballerinas and I don't know why
D         G          C
but I see Cadillac's sailing
D     G           C
I was born on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay

D       G       C
But Maryland and Virginia have faded away
D          G           C
And I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
D       G         C
So I am endlessly waiting


[Chorus] over intro riff

        G         D       C
And the comet is coming between
          G               D           C
Me and the girl who could make it all clean
                 G             D          C
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine
                  G      D    C  (arpeggio these 3 chords)
Walks St- Robinson in his Cadillac dream-


[Verse 2]

D        G           C
Carrie's down in her basement all toe shoes and twinned
D        G           C
With the girl in the mirror who spins when she spins
D          G                C
From where you think you'll end up to the state that you're in
D        G          C
Your reflection approaches and then recedes again


[Chorus] over intro riff

        G         D       C
And the comet is coming between
          G               D           C
Me and the girl who could make it all clean
                 G             D          C
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine
                  G      D    C
Walks St- Robinson in his Cadillac dream-

[Verse 3]

D      G            C
I have dreamed of a black car that shimmers and drives
D        G             C
Down the length of the evening to the carnival side
D         G        C
In a house where regret is a carousel ride
D      G            C
We are spinning and spinning and spinning and now---
D         G           C
There's a hole in the ceiling down through which I fell
D         G         C
There's a girl in a basement coming out of her shell
D             G               C
And there are people who will say that they knew me so well'
D               G
I may not go to heaven
       C
I hope you go to hell


[Chorus] over intro riff

        G         D       C
And the comet is coming between
          G               D           C
Me and the girl who could make it all clean
                 G             D          C
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine
                  G      D    C
Walks St- Robinson in his Cadillac dream-
