-----------------------................ *from 'Back 0n Top' (1999)* Intro: F Am, Bbmaj7 (x2) Verse 1:
        F
Well, I heard the bells ringing,

      Am                              Bbmaj7
I was thinking about winning, in this God forsaken place.

        F
When my confidence was well,

       Am                        Bbmaj7
Then I tripped and I fell, right flat on my face.

        F
Now I'm standing erect,

      Am                            Bbmaj7
And I feel like coming back and the sun is shining gold.

      F
Put a smile on my face,

         Am                        Bbmaj7
Get back in the human race and get on with the show.
Bridge 1:
        C                    Bbmaj7
And I'm taking in the Indian Summer,

        C                   Bbmaj7
And I'm soaking it up in my mind.

            C                       Bbmaj7
And I'm pre-tending, that it's para-dise...

Verse 2:
       F
In the wee midnight hour,

      Am                      Bbmaj7
I was parking my car, in this dimly lit town.

         F
I was at-tacked by two thugs,

    Am                              Bbmaj7
Who took me for a mug and shoved me down on the ground.

         F
And they pulled out a knife,

      Am                       Bbmaj7
And I fought my way up as they scarpered from the scene.

              F
Well, this is no New York street,

               Am                                 Bbmaj7
And there's no Bobby on the beat and things ain't just what they seem.
Bridge 2:
        C                    Bbmaj7
And I'm taking in the Indian Summer,

        C                   Bbmaj7
And I'm soaking it up in my mind.

            C                       Bbmaj7
And I'm pre-tending, that it's para-dise...

Solo: F Am, Bbmaj7 (x4) C Bbmaj7 (x4) F Bbmaj7 (x3), F C Verse 3:
          F
Who would think this could happen,

     Am                            Bbmaj7
In a city like this, among Blake's green and pleasant hills?

       F
And we must remember,

      Am                                Bbmaj7
As we go through September, among these dark satanic mills.

           F
If there's such a thing as justice,

        Am                                  Bbmaj7
I could take them out and flog them, in the nearest green field.

       F
And it might be a lesson,

       Am                              Bbmaj7
To the bleeders of the system, in this whole society.

And I'm soaking it up in my mind.

            C                       Bbmaj7
And I'm pre-tending, that it's para-dise...
