Transient Global Amnesia Blues

INTRO:
Em  Em  Em  Em

VERSE:
 Em                                
Sunflower growing on a narrow raft 
Am
in a fog bank on the Thames
B                               
Adrift above the tide slime where 
   Em
nothing holy swims

 Em                           Am
Wherever did it come from likely 
bird shit someone said
 B                                 
Just a random freak of nature that 
 Em
refuses to play dead

Em                               
Oh to be that stand up straight past
Am
 seven feet or more
Bm                             
Aye she ain’t no faux silk pansy 
        Em
boys what washed up on the shore

Em                             
So let us stop and marvel for as 
   Am
long as we can spare
 B                          Bm    
Seems you have no need for heaven 
           Em
when your hearts already there


CHORUS:
G           D              Em
 Would that I should be so bold,
C          G           D
 Greatest story never told
Am           Bm            Em
  Worth the wait in solid gold,
C           D               Em  Em
 Would that I should be so bold

VERSE:
   Em                              
I dreamed on sunshine skyway bridge
   Am
 ‘tween Tampa and St. Pete
B                              
 Titanic and the iceberg and the 
   Em
twain still yet to meet

Em                                
I was running long side Jesus 
    Am
Christ plumed helmet and red cape
 B                             
When I vowed unto the Prince of 
       Em
Peace to aid in his escape

 Em                                
When I felt the spear go in me from
      Am
 the right side to the left
       Bm                          
I was streaming Mississippi see Bob
  Em
 Dylan, Love and Theft

 Em                           Am
When Jesus turned to thank me for 
the gift of second sight
B                    Bm          
I waved him off “No worries man, I 
Em
think I’ll be alright”


CHORUS
G           D             Em
 Would that I were born again,
C          G                   D
 Makes no difference where or when
Am        Bm               Em
  Knowing now what I knew then
C           D             Em  Em
 Would that I were born again
  Em  Em



VERSE:
          Em                       
From the rainbow eucalyptus stands 
 Am
beyond the River Styx
        B                       
To the blood falls in the Arctic 
          Em
it’s at least eight thousand clicks

        Em                         
You can get there as the crow flies
         Am
 headed north from Singapore
            Bm                 
Ah but you better get a move on 
            Em
‘fore she melts down to the core

       Em                      
When a red dawn in an angry sky 
  Am
portends blue rue and ruin
      Bm                         
It’s that wanna be a rich guy who 
     Em
pretends there’s nothing doing

Em                                
But if that ticking time bomb 
        Am
‘neath the Yellowstone should blow
     Bm                     
Ah, it’s adios amigo see you 
  Em
somewhere down below


CHORUS:
G           D                 Em
 Would that we should e’er forget
C             G                D
 Things that haven’t happened yet
Am         Bm              Em
  That someday we might regret
C           D                 Em
 Would that we should er’r forget

C           D                 Em 
 Would that we should er’r forget
 Em  Em  Em
