Blue Comb 78

E         F# B
Summer of 1978,
E             F#                 
My sister and I in the back seat 
B
just wait.
E           F#             B    
We pass the time by making lines
                           E
 in the seat that we can't cross,
       F#               B
A thin line like dental floss.
B                     G#         
She threw my new blue comb out 
          B            F#
the window, somewhere on I-70.
G#                        F#
Dad said, "I'm sorry, but we can't 
go back,"
E                         F#
We're never going back to get it.
B                       G#
It was the first comb I ever had.
B                                
Got it just that morning from my mom
F#
 and my dad.
G#                   F#          
Light blue in color, I could 
               E
never find another comb like that,
F#
big and fat...

So tell me, have you seen my comb?
E                   F#
Last time I saw it, it was in her 
hands,
    B
And then it was bouncing down the 
road.
E                F#
It wasn't fancy, it wasn't brown,
    G#                   B
But now it might be from lying on 
the ground.

Driving down the road in September,
B
I was only five but I still 
remember,
E
Where the highway turns at the 
bottom of the hill,
F#
My parents both up front 'cause they
 loved each other still.
G#
Maybe just a comb made of plastic,
B
Or an action of a sibling lacking 
couth,
E
But something that was thrown out 
that window,
F#                            
Was the last great symbol of my 
  E F#
youth.
