Bright Eyes – Bas Jan Ader (Guitar)

 E                    C#m
Tell me that the body tells a story

 F#m                      B
Can you read between the lines?

 G#m                  A
When you look into my eyes

F#m                        B
Do you see a scarry night?

   E                           C#m
Remember I was dense, made me paint the fence

   F#m                    B
To work my way into your life

       G#m                       A
In the public schools, tried to ban Mark Twain

           F#m                      B
When they knew that it wasn't right

                 A      E
Well it takes a lot of nerve

             A    E
To live on planet Earth

           C#m
It was the best of times

            B
It was the worst of times

            A
It was the worst

 E                        C#m
Saw you walking up with a basket of fruit

     F#m                       B
In a funeral suit through the door

G#m                           A
Paying your respects to the dead insects

         F#m                          B
Who have eaten through the apple core

 N.C.                      C#m G#m  C#m
Another habit kicked, one-way road trip

        F#m                B
Another bible in a motel drawer

            G#m                       A
Ah man, I think I've seen this one before

        F#m                          B
Some nostalgia you just can't ignore

                  A       E
And you've got a lot to learn

            A     E
Living on planet Earth

           C#m
It was the best of times

            B
It was the worst of times

            A
It was the worst

           (E)
It was the worst

  G#m                                        A
(You're a coward, you're a bunch of cowards)

                         F#m                 B
(And you're getting too fresh, so button it)

  E                    C#m
Shamrock on a jacket, dropped into a casket

F#m                     B
Baby, that's no way to die

          G#m                  A
I never thought I'd see forty-five

       F#m                      B
How is it that I'm still alive?

     E                       C#m
In search of that miraculous mystery

 F#m                 B
Crying on a movie screen

 G#m                     A
Leaving the harbor with Bas Jan Ader

 F#m            B
Sailing out to sea

            A      E
It takes a lot of nerve

           A        E
To sail around the world

           C#m
It was the best of times

            B
It was the worst of times

            A
It was the best

            E   C#m
It was the best

       F#m     B
In Los Angeles

           G#m  A
It was the best

       F#m
In Los Angeles

         B          E  C#m
I wanna see out to sea

        F#m B
Out to sea

           G#m  A
It was the best

        F#m
In L.A.
