Jefferson Airplane - Things Are Better In The East Chords

[Intro]
 
Amaj7  E7sus
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Amaj7                    E7sus
     You once asked me what I wanted out of life
Amaj7                       E7sus
     Well, I guess it’s just the life of laughter and smiles,
      Amaj7
To be Cinderella-man for a while
            E7sus               Amaj7
But there’s so many miles I got to go
Dmaj7                          Bm7
      You once asked me what I wanted out of life
Amaj7                            E7sus
     Well, I guess it’s just the white, white of a light when you love me all night
            Amaj7                        E7sus
But this is brightness so dazzling my head must turn
Amaj7
      You know my head must turn
 
[Midtro]
 
G6  Aadd9  G6  Aadd9
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F                           G6
   Things are better in the East, they say
F                     G6
   For a poet and his fevers
F                           G6
  A fellow with all those fancy words,
F                    G6
His heartbreak and his favors
 
[Chorus]
 
Amaj7                      E7sus
I feel like a little white kitten reborn
    Amaj7                    E7sus
I’m very fond of fog, but my sight is torn
Amaj7                             E7sus
I’d like to remember it just like this if I can :
    Amaj7                  E7sus
The rain, the fog, and the kiss you send
           G6                             Aadd9
You know I love you, just like you always wanted
 
[Verse 3]
 
Cadd9                             Dmaj7
     I could protect you from the bells in the city
Cmaj7                             Dmaj7
     I was raised with forget-me-nots in my hair
Cadd9                             Dmaj7
     Even if it ain’t true, won’t you please take me with you ?
Cmaj7                        Dmaj7
     You’ve got moon on your side over there
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Emaj7           D
Hey, Lady Swan. Whatcha doin' here ?
Emaj7                             D
How am I gonna write if you don’t live anywhere ?
Emaj7                                  D
Just caught a flash of lightning as it photographed the sky
          G6              Aadd9
You don’t mind. Oh my. Oh my.
