Oysters And Pearls

(início)

A                       G
Lindbergh left Long Island in 1927
E       F#m/E   E7
Thumbed his nose at gravity
E               A
And climbed into the heavens
D                               Cmaj7   Bm
When he returned to earth that night everything changed
G               D/F#    D/E             E
For the pilot and the planet, everything was rearranged
A
We're a pretty mixed up bunch
                G
Of crazy human beings
E       F#m/E   E7
It's written on our rocket ships
E               A
And in early cave wall scenes
D
How does it happen?
Cmaj7           Bm
How do we know?
G               D
Who sits and watches?
Bm              A/C#
Who does the show?
Chorus
D               A/C#
Some people love to lead
C               G/B
And some refuse to dance
Gm/Bb   D       A7sus   A7
Some play it safely, other's take a chance
D               A/C#
Still it's all a mystery
Csus            C
This place we call the world
E               F#m
Where most live as oysters
G               A
While some become pearls
  A                             G
Elvis was the only man from Northeast Mississippi
E               F#m/E   E7              E       A
Who could shake his hips and still be loved by rednecks, cops and hippies.
D                       Cmaj7           Bm
It's something more than DNA that tells us who we are
G               D       Bm      A
It's method and it's magic, we are of the stars
Chorus
D               A/C#
Some never fade away,
C               G/B
some crash and burn
Gm/Bb           D       A7sus   A7
Some make the world go round, other watch it turn
D               A/C#
Still it's all a mystery
Csus            C
This place we call the world
E               F#m
Most are fine as oysters
G               A
While some become pearls
A                            G  Bm A
