Eb G#
Mama was calling, but I couldn't answer
Eb G#
I had a dog in the car, had a dog in my hands
Eb G# Bb
I was walking with these worn-out shoes
Eb G#
I tripped over Charlie and I hit the grass
Eb G#
I was coming up running, I was coming up fast
Eb G# Bb
But he beat me, just a-howling at the door
Cm G#
Oh Sally, don't get down
Eb Bb
'Cause I been looking all over town
Eb G# Eb Bb
For a brand new set of wings for you
Eb G# Eb Bb
For a brand new set of wings for you
Eb G# Eb G# Eb G# Bb
Eb G#
Well I'm back in the house, bang my head on a wall
Eb G#
Yeah and Charlie's still laughing about watching me fall
Eb G# Bb
I say "Charlie, now what's the big idea?"
Eb G#
I'm back in my room just packing my bags
Eb G#
And I'm thinking November, about the time we've had
Eb G# Bb
Just walking out by a stone wall
(chorus)
Eb G#
I'm gonna get a ticket, gonna get on a plane
Eb G#
Tell that pilot, take me so far away
Eb G# Bb
So I can call you up, say I miss you like a fool
Eb G#
Yeah but you don't put me down, you don't treat me bad
Eb G#
Say you understand about this problem I have
Eb G# Bb
Well sometimes, I know you still wonder
(chorus)
Eb G#
Yeah got held up in Paris, caught smoking on a train
Eb G#
If you ain't got your papers gonna get you detained
Eb G# Bb
Don't believe me I've got the photographs to prove it
Eb G#
You should've seen the look on the old man's face
Eb G#
When the police threatened to haul him away
Eb G# Bb
You know he was scared, but it was also kind of funny
(chorus)
Eb G#
Yeah well I can't sleep at night, can't awake in the day
Eb G#
And we got these guitars, got so much to say
Eb G# Bb
But no time, no energy to say it
Eb G#
Yeah when you still walk in the park there ain't nobody there
Eb G#
There's a calm in the trees there's a cool in the air
Eb G# Bb
And it's boring, but I found it kind of soothing
Eb G#
Yeah in a couple of months when the leaves turn green
Eb G#
When the seasons change, when the bird sings
Eb G# Bb
Gonna grab you up, gonna take you here for good
Eb G#
Yes and we'll walk by the river most every single day
Eb G#
And we'll eat our dinner where the tourists play
Eb G# Bb
You know the city's old but it never seems to get tired
(chorus)
