Here is the Airplane's great recording of the Kantner/Stills collaboration. These
are the main chords Paul plays. Jorma solos in E minor pentatonic. If anyone wants
the solo tab, comment and say so. This is pretty easy, you just have to remember
the Cmaj7 in the first verse and the Cmaj7 in the "sail away..." part are different. I put the chord shapes at the bottom. Have fun. G5 Cmaj7 Dm If you smile at me I would understand G5 Because that is something Cmaj7 Dm G5 Cmaj7 Dm Everyone does everywhere in the same language G5 Cmaj7 Dm I can see by your coat my friend you’re from the other side G5 There's just one thing I've got to know Cmaj7 Dm G5 Cmaj7 Dm G5 Cmaj7 Dm Can you tell me please, who won? G5 Cmaj7 You must try some of my purple berries Dm G5 I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now Cmaj7 Dm Em A D Haven't got sick once, probably keep us both alive
