THE TRIP As recorded by Donovan (From the 1966 Album SUNSHINE SUPERMAN) [Intro] F7 [Verse 1]
F7We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A., F7About a-midnight hour F7And it almost b-b-blew my mind F7I got caught in a coloured shower F7All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset F7I saw a sign in the sky F7It said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip," F7I couldn't keep up up if I tried
[Verse 2]
F7Ah, we C7stepped down to reality company C7To get some instant sleep And the F7driver turned, I said, "Welcome back" F7He smiled and he said, "Beep beep" F7What goes on? Chick-a-chick F7What goes on? I really wanna know F7What goes on all around me F7What goes on? I really wanna know
[Verse 3]
F7When in should come-a my dream woman F7She got sequins in her hair F7Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film F7She sat in a white straw chair F7But I thought I'd take a second look F7Just to see what I could see F7And my scene had popped out like a bubble does
[Verse 4]
F7There was nobody there but me I said, "C7Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me C7But you ain't in a Wonderland You know I F7might-a be there to greet you, child F7When your trippin' ship touches sand." F7What goes on? Chick-a-chick F7What goes on? I really wanna know F7What goes on? Chick-a-chick F7What goes on? I really wanna know
[Verse 5]
F7A silver goblet of wine is-a to be F7Held in a bejewelled glove F7And her knights they toast the tournament F7The falcons they fly above F7And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight F7But the jester she cries alone F7Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell
F7To make the devil's white knights moan [Verse 6] And-a C7all in all, the seagull said C7"As I look to where I've been The F7whole wide human race F7Has a-taken far too much Methedrine" F7What goes on? Chick-a-chick F7What goes on? I really wanna know F7What goes on? So near F7What goes on? I really wanna know F7Yeah well, come on
[Guitar Solo] F7 C7 F7 [Verse 7]
C7We F7sat in a velvet jewel case F7With sparkles everywhere F7And Julian he sat on a diamond ring F7And-a talked of the days gone by F7We spoke of a common kaleidoscope F7And the pros and the cons of Zen F7And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake F7He really did have a yen
[Verse 8]
Bobby C7Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter" C7A broken hour glass in his hand And-a F7Joannie sat in a white lace F7Looking cool with a black lace fan F7What goes on? Chick-a-chick F7What goes on? I really wanna know F7What goes on? Yes please tell me F7What goes on? I really wanna know
