Oh-oh-oh
Am C
Sylvia was struck by lightning
Dm F
while reading in bed one night
Am C
She'd left the windows open,
Dm F
and the storm caught her by surprise
Am C
For days she lay still as stone
Dm F
hooked to pumps and tubes
Am C
Then out her window, the street lights flashed
Dm F
and at last her fingers moved
F E
She awoke to a cacophony
F E
of electric and radio waves
F E
Pulsing rays of energy
F E E7
falling from outer space
C E Am
Oh-oh-oh
Am C
High in swaying towers,
Dm F
down in basements full of dust
Am C
She could not escape the static
Dm F
or the sixty cycle hum
Am C
She wore dark-tinted spectacles
Dm F
several fur-lined capes
Am C
Three pairs of velvet gloves
Dm F
a veil of dotted swiss
F E
But all the Earth's vibrations
F E
still pounded through her ears
F E
So she packed a steamer trunk
F E E7
and flew a prop plane to Belize
C E Am
Oh-oh-oh
Am C
From there a log raft took her
Dm F
over raging waterfalls
Am C
Deep within uncharted jungle
Dm F
where giant caterpillars crawl
Am C
They spun their silk around her
Dm F
a cocoon beneath the trees
Am C
And still she hangs there swaying
Dm F
deep within the dripping leaves
F E
Keeping time with every rumble,
F E
every quiver of the Earth
F E
And she slowly changes shape
F E E7
with the turning of the world
C E Am
Oh-oh-oh
Am C Dm F x4
F E x 4 E7
C E Am
Oh-oh-oh
