Donovan – The Trip (Guitar)

F7
We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A.,

F7
About a-midnight hour

F7
And it almost b-b-blew my mind

F7
I got caught in a coloured shower

F7
All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset

F7
I saw a sign in the sky

F7
It said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip,"

F7
I couldn't keep up up if I tried

F7     C7
Ah, we stepped down to reality company

C7
To get some instant sleep

        F7
And the driver turned, I said, "Welcome back"

F7
He smiled and he said, "Beep beep"

F7
What goes on? Chick-a-chick

F7
What goes on? I really wanna know

F7
What goes on all around me

F7
What goes on? I really wanna know

F7
When in should come-a my dream woman

F7
She got sequins in her hair

F7
Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film

F7
She sat in a white straw chair

F7
But I thought I'd take a second look

F7
Just to see what I could see

F7
And my scene had popped out like a bubble does

F7
There was nobody there but me

         C7
I said, "Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me

C7
But you ain't in a Wonderland

           F7
You know I might-a be there to greet you, child

F7
When your trippin' ship touches sand."

F7
What goes on? Chick-a-chick

F7
What goes on? I really wanna know

F7
What goes on? Chick-a-chick

F7
What goes on? I really wanna know

F7
A silver goblet of wine is-a to be

F7
Held in a bejewelled glove

F7
And her knights they toast the tournament

F7
The falcons they fly above

F7
And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight

F7
But the jester she cries alone

F7
Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell

F7
To make the devil's white knights moan

      C7
And-a all in all, the seagull said

C7
"As I look to where I've been

    F7
The whole wide human race

F7
Has a-taken far too much Methedrine"

F7
What goes on? Chick-a-chick

F7
What goes on? I really wanna know

F7
What goes on? So near

F7
What goes on? I really wanna know

F7
Yeah well, come on

C7 F7
We sat in a velvet jewel case

F7
With sparkles everywhere

F7
And Julian he sat on a diamond ring

F7
And-a talked of the days gone by

F7
We spoke of a common kaleidoscope

F7
And the pros and the cons of Zen

F7
And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake

F7
He really did have a yen

      C7
Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter"

C7
A broken hour glass in his hand

      F7
And-a Joannie sat in a white lace

F7
Looking cool with a black lace fan

F7
What goes on? Chick-a-chick

F7
What goes on? I really wanna know

F7
What goes on? Yes please tell me

F7
What goes on? I really wanna know
