[Verse 1]
D       G          C
Staring out of his window as the world rushes by

D       G          C
Arthur Robinson closes the glass and replies,

D   G            C
"I dream of Ballerinas and I don't know why

D         G          C
but I see Cadillac's sailing

D     G           C
I was born on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay

D       G       C
But Maryland and Virginia have faded away

D          G           C
And I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today

D       G         C
So I am endlessly waiting
[Chorus] over intro riff
        G         D       C
And the comet is coming between

          G               D           C
Me and the girl who could make it all clean

                 G             D          C
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine
G D C (arpeggio these 3 chords) Walks St- Robinson in his Cadillac dream- [Verse 2]
D        G           C
Carrie's down in her basement all toe shoes and twinned

D        G           C
With the girl in the mirror who spins when she spins

D          G                C
From where you think you'll end up to the state that you're in

D        G          C
Your reflection approaches and then recedes again
[Chorus] over intro riff
        G         D       C
And the comet is coming between

          G               D           C
Me and the girl who could make it all clean

                 G             D          C
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine

                  G      D    C
Walks St- Robinson in his Cadillac dream-
[Solo] - Hammond Organ over G D C x4 [Verse 3]
D      G            C
I have dreamed of a black car that shimmers and drives

D        G             C
Down the length of the evening to the carnival side

D         G        C
In a house where regret is a carousel ride

D      G            C
We are spinning and spinning and spinning and now---

D         G           C
There's a hole in the ceiling down through which I fell

D         G         C
There's a girl in a basement coming out of her shell

D             G               C
And there are people who will say that they knew me so well'

D               G
I may not go to heaven

       C
I hope you go to hell
[Chorus] over intro riff
        G         D       C
And the comet is coming between

          G               D           C
Me and the girl who could make it all clean

                 G             D          C
Out there in the shadow of the modern machine

                  G      D    C
