[INTRO]
E E7
COh-E7oh-Amoh
[VERSE 1]
AmSylvia was strCuck by lightning
while rDmeading in bed one nFight
She'd lAmeft the windows Copen,
and the stDmorm caught her by surprFise
[VERSE 2]
For dAmays she lay stCill as stone
hDmooked to pumps and tFubes
Then Amout her window, the strCeet lights flashed
and at lDmast her fingers mFoved
[BRIDGE]
She awFoke to a cacEophony
of elFectric and radio wEaves
PFulsing rays of Eenergy
fFalling from outer spEaceE7
[INTERLUDE]
COh-E7oh-Amoh
[VERSE 3]
HAmigh in swaying tCowers,
down in bDmasements full of dFust
She could Amnot escape the stCatic
or the sDmixty cycle hFum
[VERSE 4]
She wore dAmark-tinted spCectacles
sDmeveral fur-lined cFapes
ThAmree pairs of vCelvet gloves
a vDmeil of dotted swFiss
[BRIDGE]
But aFll the Earth's vibrEations
still pFounded through her eEars
So she pFacked a steamer trEunk
and flew a prFop plane to BelEizeE7
[INTERLUDE]
COh-E7oh-Amoh
[VERSE 5]
From thAmere a log raft tCook her
over rDmaging waterfFalls
Deep withAmin uncharted jCungle
where giDmant caterpillars crFawl
[VERSE 6]
They sAmpun their silk arCound her
a cocDmoon beneath the trFees
And stAmill she hangs there swCaying
deep withDmin the dripping leFaves
[BRIDGE]
Keeping tFime with every rEumble,
every qFuiver of the EEarth
And she slFowly changes shEape
with the tFurning of the wEorldE7
