So Alive
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
INTRO:
Bm A G Bm
Bm A G Bm
VERSE:
Bm A
We were young together once upon a long lost time
G F#m A
Apple trees were blossoming and spring was on my mind
Bm A
Guitars on MacDougal Street, sandals in the snow
G Bm E E
When I fell in love with you I was the last to know
Bm A
Down in Greenwich Village we would scatter through the nights
G Bm A
Singing at The Bitter End under all those lights
G F#m
Making love in the single beds, you always left by dawn
G F#m D D Bm Bm
Climbing on the Greyhound bus, (where you) where you would be alone
VERSE:
Bm A
Singing in MacArthur Park, singing in Cheyenne
G Bm
Singing in the wilderness where the truths began
Bm A
We were gypsies in the wind, learning just to fly
G Bm E E
Making music, making love as the years went by
Bm A
You had rhythm in your soul, I had violins
G Bm A
You were rich and I was poor, trying to fit in
G F#m
Back on Bleeker in the spring and haunting Jackson Square
G F#m D D D
In the Fat Black Pussy Cat, catch me if you dare!
REFRAIN:
Am G D D
We were so aliiiiiiive
VERSE:
Bm A
Then the world was going mad, the sky was overcast
G F#m A
Found my peace in whiskey and the poets of the past
Bm A
You were moving past me through the dark night of your soul
G Bm E E
I was singing folk songs and dreamed of rock and roll
Bm A
The devil's in the details, you said, dreaming of your death
G Bm A
I was running faster, I was nearly out of breath
G F#m
Long before we lost our dreams and all our songs were sung
G F#m D D D
You left the world too early, your spirit died too young
REFRAIN:
Am G D D Bm Bm
We were so aliiiiiiive
VERSE:
Bm A
I was headed for the moon, aching to be free
G F#m Bm
Searching for the answers in the booze and the marquee
Bm A
What is left of Greenwich Village lives among your songs
G A E E
The ones we thought were always right and never would be wrong
Bm A
Now sometimes the only thing that it gives me hope is you
G Bm
You who saw right through the veil that fell out of the blue
G F#m
I will always miss you, I will always hear your songs
G F#m D D D
Now the past is fading, one more dream and it is gone
REFRAIN:
Am G D D Bm Bm
We were so aliiiiiiive
VERSE:
Bm A
We were young together once upon a long lost time
G F#m A
Apple trees were blossoming and spring was on my mind
Bm A
Guitars on MacDougal Street, sandals in the snow
G Bm E E E E
I am still in love with you, I was the last to know
