D6           Em            F#m(add11)
 For a while, we could sit, smoke a pipe 

Em                  D6          Em           F#m(add11)    Em
And discuss all the vast intricacies of life 

D6           Em                
 We could jaw through the night 

F#m(add11)    Em                
 Talk about a range of subjects, 

D6           Em       F#m(add11)  Em    D6/9
Anything you like, oh yeah              1 2 3 4 5 6

[Chorus]

       Cadd9       G/B         D
But we always came back to the song we were singing 

   Cadd9  G/B     D
At any particular time 

        Cadd9       G/B         D
Yeah we always came back to the song we were singing 

   Cadd9  G/B     G       D
At any particular time 
[Verse 2]
D6          Em             F#m(add11)
 Take a sip, see the world through a glass 

    Em         D6                Em       F#m(add11)   Em
And speculate about the cosmic solution 

D6            Em            F#m(add11)
 To the sound, blue guitars, caught up in a 

Em               D6       Em       F#m(add11) D6
philosophical discussion, oh yeah   1 2 3 4 5 6
