This is just a mashup of DCFC's "Portable Television" and The Beatles "I've Just
Seen A Face" - two songs with similar tempo and chords; good crowd pleaser when
sung this way. I play it by following the DCFC piano chord tempo (listen to the
track to hear this) through the whole arrangement.
Verse 1:
GPortable television, shrouded in snow
In a Amraggedy van on the Cside of the road
The Gnight it had frozen through my little bones
So you Amtook me in your arms, you Csqueezed out the cold
Chorus 1:
GAnd oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, Amoh-h-h-h-h, Coh-h-h-h-h
GAnd oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, Amoh-h-h-h-h, Coh-h-h-h-h G
Verse 2:
Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves
Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me
And where we were going it was built like a lie
But as sacred as the Bible, so we didn't question why
Chorus 2:
GAnd oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, Amoh-h-h-h-h, Coh-h-h-h-h
GAnd oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, Amoh-h-h-h-h, Coh-h-h-h-h G
Verse 3:
IG've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place where we just mEmet
She's just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we've mCet
Da Da Da DDa Da GDa
Verse 4:
Had it been another day I might have looked the other way and
I'd have never been aware but as it is I'll dream of her tonight
Di di di di di di
Chorus 3:
FalDling yes I am falCling and she keeps caGllinCg me back agGain (1x)
Verse 4:
Portable television, take us away
From this burden of reflection we've carried today
Oh, the generator's running but there's nothing on the air
And the static is a comfort, so we huddle around and stare
Verse 6:
I have never known the likes of this I've been alone and I have
Missed things and kept out of sight but as it is I'll dream of her tonight
Di di di di di di
Chorus 5:
FalDling yes I am falCling and she keeps caGllinCg me back agGain (2x)
Chorus 6:
GAnd oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, Amoh-h-h-h-h, Coh-h-h-h-h
GAnd oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, Amoh-h-h-h-h, Coh-h-h-h-h G
FalGling yes I am falAmling and she keeps calCling me back agGain (2x)
GAnd oh-h-h-h, oh-h-h-h, Amoh-h-h-h-h, Coh-h-h-h-h G (2x)
