F7E7D7D7

I’m writing the whole verse as I7, maybe it alternates between I7 and I7/b7, but that’s the gist of it

A7

Vox on the 3 on “steam”

You could have a A7steam train

If you’d jA7ust lay down your tracks

You could have an A7aeroplane, flying

If you A7bring your blue sky back

All you do is F#mcall me, I’ll be anything you neA7ed

Hard stop on “you”, back in on “big”

You could have a A7big dipper

Going up and A7down, all around the bends

You could have a A7bumper car, bumping

This amA7usement never ends

AYeah, yeah

Hard stop on “show”

Show me round your A7fruitcage

‘Cause I will A7be your honey bee

Open up your fA7ruitcage

Where the A7fruit that is as sweet as can be

F#mGI’m your Bmsledgehammer

F#mGLet there Bmbe no doubt about it

AmSledge, Amsledge DD
