The 13th Floor Elevators
As heard from the 2005 CD Reissue of The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators
In those spots, approximations were put in their place.
F#m B repeat
F#m B
Thru the rhythm of darkened times
F#m B
Painted black by knowledge crimes
F#m B
And repetitions from this crime
F#m B
And steering valleys the sick define
F#m B
That keeps the fabric that keeps you bind
F#m B
and ties your hands and cloaks your mind
F#m B
But on my stilts, I'm above the slime
F#m B
F#m B
Come on, well, if you can make the climb, but who am I?
F#m B F#m
Who am I? Who am I?
F#m B
My stilts are sticks from the fields that rise
F#m B
F#m B
I felt the panic that bathed the skies
F#m B
And the forms of laws of every size
F#m B
And you know the teachers whine and make me drop out like flies
F#m B
But you know they teach you nonsense, but they can't blind your eyes
F#m B
I feel the field is gold that torn off as the pride
F#m B
F#m B
To the Everest standard that calms for pride, well where am I?
F#m B F#m B
Where am I? Where am I?
Abm C#
Abm C#
You gobbled all the blessings that they caused you to digest
Abm C#
They may be hard to swallow, but they keep your tongue depressed
Abm C#
Your scattered wills were born to pressed
Abm C#
So when something slams your chest
Abm C#
You flutter about, you're sleek distressed
Abm C#
And when you stop to ease your breast
Abm C#
A scattered rim beast you're obsessed
Abm C#
C#
Was fallin' thoughts of who's the best, but where are you?
Abm C#
C#
OHHHHHHHHH Where are you? HEY! Where are you?
Ad lib on "Where are you" same cord prog.
