Lofty Pines Capo 2 [Verse]

^AIt's too^E hot to sleep. ^ALet's ga^Ether 'round the fan. ^AWe can't ^Edo nothin' bout the heat, ^Aso let's just^E do what we can ^D

[Chorus]

^Dand everyt^Ehing 'll be just fine. ^D ^DJust dream of the Lofty Pines. ^A

[Verse]

^AWell, I d^Ereamed of the Lofty Pines- ^Aat least ^Ewhat I thought they were- ^Astanding ^Ein the forest after nighttime, ^Aswaying so cool and^E sure. ^D

[Chorus]

^DSure had never bee^En so wrong; ^D ^Dsure like the title of the perfec^At song.

[Verse]

^ANow for the spectac^Eular part. ^AJust then, a pack o^Ef matches fell: ^Aa logo of a tree in^E a heart. ^AThey're from the Lofty Pi^Enes Motel.^D

[Chorus]

^DAll the while our dreams were ou^Er own.^D ^DAll the while that didn't mean all alone.^A

[Verse]

^AWell, I ^Egave the editor my pitch: ^Aa series^E on our cultural wealth, ^Aabout th^Ee "error of catalogues and lists." ^AI call it "Why We Fi^Eght...Ourselves,"^D

[Chorus]

^DIf only we had noth^Eing to say. ^D ^DIf only we'd done nothing that day. ^A

[Verse]

^A"Je suis nee p^Eour la chaleur," ^Ashe said, in h^Eer Manhattan French. ^A"On ne peut ri^Een faire de la chaleur," ^AWe'll just have to ^Etake that chance. ^D

[Chorus]

^DWe've got world enoug^Eh and time, ^D ^Ddreaming of the Lofty Pine^As.

[Outro]

^APines, pines, I dre^Eam of the lofty pines……
