Try the riverboat, the carousel, feed the pigions, barbecue

A D E D A
Get your green, green tambourine, lets play in the park
#Fm D E
whaa whaa here comes the sun
Ver. 2:
Some folks are on blankets slowly daydreaming and reaching for their food
Let's go buy an icecream and a magazine with an attitude
And put on a cassette we can pretend that you are a star
Cos' life's so very simple, just like la la la
Chorus
last line of chorus like this:
#Fm D E C G
Whaa whaa here comes the sun, comes the sun
Em Bm
Their's a painter painting his masterpiece
Em Bm7
There are some squirrels jumping in the trees
C G
There's a wide-eyed boy with a red balloon
Bm D
All my life I've longed for this afternoon
Repeat chorus
De: Per Gessle
A
1-2-3-4 walking like a man,
hitting like a hammer,
G
she's a juvenile scam.
Never was a quitter,
D
tasty like a raindrop,
A
she's got the look.
Heavenly bound
cause heaven's got a number
when she's spinning me around,
kissing is a colour.
Her loving is a wild dog,
she's got the look.
A
She's got the look. She's got the look.
C G A
What in the world can make a brown-eyed girl turn blue.
C G A
When everything I'll ever do I'll do for you
F G A
and I go: la la la la la she's got the look.
Fire in the ice
naked to the t-bone
is a lover's disguise.
Banging on the head drum,
shaking like a mad bull,
she's got the look.
Swaying to the band,
moving like a hammer
she's a miracle man.
Loving is the ocean,
kissing is the wet sand,
she's got the look.
And she goes: na na na na na na na na.

F Bb C Bb
Get dressed for success
Gm Bb C
shaping it up for your love
F Bb C
for your love, yea yea yea.
I'm not afraid, a trembling flower,
I'll feed your heart and blow the dust from your eyes
and in the dark things happen faster.
I love the way you sway your hips next to mine.
Whatcha gonna tell your brother? - oh oh oh...
I'm gonna get dressed for success,
hitting a spot for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
shaping it up for your love. Look sharp!

You've built a love but that love falls apart.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.
Listen to your heart...

i hit the road out of nowhere,
i had to jump in my car
and be a rider in a love game
following the stars,
D
don't need no book of wisdom,
Bm A
i get no money talk at all.
she has a train going downtown,
she's got a club on the moon
and she's telling all her secrets
in a wonderful balloon.
oh she's the heart of the funfair,
she's got me whistling her private tune.
E D A
and it all begins where it ends,
E D
and she's all mine, my magic friend.
A G D A
she says: hello, you fool, i love you,
D A
c'mon join the joyride, join the joyride.
she's a flower, i can paint her,
she's a child of the sun,
we're a part of this together,
could never turn around and run.
don't need no fortune teller
to know where my lucky love belongs oh no.
cos it all begins again when it ends,
and we're all magic friends.
she says: hello, you fool, i love you,
c'mon join the joyride, be a joyrider.

iīll take you on a skyride,
a feeling like you're spellbound.

in a time

where the sun descends alone,
F C Dm
i ran a long long way from home
Am G
to find a heart that's made of stone.
i will try,
i just need a little time
to get your face right out of my mind,
to see the world through different eyes.
F Bb Dm C
every time i see you oh i try to hide away
F Bb C F
but when we meet it seems i can't let go.
F Bb Dm C Bb
every time you leave the room i feel i'm fading like a flower.
tell me why?
when i scream there's no reply,
when i reach out there's nothing to find,
when i sleep i break down and cry.
every time i see you...
C Dm C F
fading like a rose,
C Dm C F
fading like a rose,

beaten by the storm,

talking to myself,
getting washed by the rain,

Days like these no one should be alone
No heart should hide away
Her touch is gently conquering my mind
There's nothing words can say

I've whispered all my dreams
But just as nighttime falls this vision falls apart
Into a riddle of her heart

She's so vulnerable ...
