This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

And she was lying in the grass
E Amaj7 E
And she could hear the highway breathing
E Amaj7 E
And she could see a nearby factory
E Amaj7 E
She's making sure she is not dreaming
Bb F C F
See the lights of a neighbor's house
Bb C F
Now she's starting to rise
Bb F C F
Take a minute to concentrate
Bb G C
And she opens up her eyes
E A D A
The world was moving she was right there with it
E A D A
And she was
E A D A
The world was moving she was floating above it
E A D A
And she was
E Amaj7 E Amaj7 E Amaj7 E Amaj7
And she was
E Amaj7 E
And she was drifting through the backyard
E Amaj7 E
And she was taking off her dress
E Amaj7 E
And she was moving very slowly
E Amaj7 E
Rising up above the earth
Bb F C F
Moving into the universe and she's
Bb C F
Drifting this way and that
Bb F C F
Not touching the ground at all and she's
Bb G C
Up above the yard
E A D A
The world was moving she was right there with it
E A D A
And she was
E A D A
The world was moving she was floating above it
E A D A
And she was hey hey hey she was
Bm
Glad about it, no doubt about it
G
She isn't sure about what she's done
Bm
No time to think about what to tell them
G
No time to think about what she's done
E Amaj7 E Amaj7 E Amaj7 E Amaj7
And she was hey-hey hey-hey hey
E Amaj7 E
And she was looking at herself
E Amaj7 E
And things were looking like a movie
E Amaj7 E
She had a pleasant elevation
E Amaj7 E
She's moving out in all directions
Bb F C F
Hey hey hey hey-hey hey hey
Bb C F
Hey hey hey-hey hey
Bb F C F
Hey hey hey hey-hey hey hey
Bb G C
Hey hey hey-hey hey
E A D A
The world was moving she was right there with it
E A D A
And she was
E A D A
The world was moving she was floating above it
E A D A
And she was hey hey
E A D A
Joining the world of missing persons
E A D A
And she was
E A D A
Missing enough to feel all right
E A D A
And she was
