B
you're with me tonight
Put on the tape that ya made for me
Its got Marc Bolan and Vashti
Ringin' my head like a mission bell
Come and go dive in the inkwell
Idle ties sink and sigh
Token charms kept near by
you're with me tonight
Now the wind answers your telephone
Come on, sing the city softly
Well it'll get to her once you're underground
Signal cant (???)
Idle ties sink and sigh
Token charms kept near by
you're with me tonight

{for several bars. 2 strums on the D; 1 on the A. This pattern forms the basis of
the song. I'll show you how many strums to play on the rest of the chords as they
crop up, by putting a number in a twirly bracket next to the chord, eg A{3} means
play 3 strums on an A chord.
