Sinatra and I

[Intro]
D G A D A
DI have to admit there's a Gstrange tale between us
DA twisted road winding Gbetween you and AI
DI was living in a cabin on the Gedges of Staten
DI was lyin' in bed, looking Gout at the Anight
AGrey sky exploded, Gfire rained Ddown
DSome refinery in Jersey had Gburned to the Dground
ACall me superstitious, I Gcalled it a Dsign.
DI packed up the van, Gheaded out for the Anight
DI wandered for months; it was Ggorgeous but somehow
DI didn't know what I was Gtryin' to Afind
DThe last days of summer found me Gcrossin' the border
DI was feelin' quite lonely, quite Gout of my Amind.
AI stopped in Regina, my Gspirits were Dlow
DIf I didn't do something, I was Gbound to Aexplode.
AIf I was gonna keep travelin' I Gneeded a Ddate
DPulled the van to a stop at the GSPCAA
BmThere he sat curled up, Gback in a Dcorner
DFace like a bandit, and Gicy blue Aeyes.
BmOpened the gate and Gcasually strolled
DOut of the kennel, and iGnto my Alife.
NOTE: I dont' usually do this, but I'll let you figure out the rest. It's the same
and I'm writing this in a hurry. Sorry!
So it was that Sinatra and I went a'rovin'
Yeah, that's what I called him, because of his eyes
Turns out as well, he's a pretty good singer
Though he tends more to blues than to strangers at night
Blue-eyes beside me we kept heading North
Near Whitehorse the van finally gave up the ghost
Got a job at a cafe where Sinatra begged scraps
Savin' our money for spark plugs and maps
Some nights we've both got cabin fever
We go for a walk ol' Sinatra and I
Nose in the ground, sniffing out possibilities
Me looking out through the dome of the sky.
I ask him to sit, he pays me no mind.
He'll do it his way, and I'll do it mine
That's why I liked him, once more that's why
I think there's a future for Sinatra and I.
Enjoy!!
