It's a very, very simple song, just the bassline, some chords, and maybe a guitar every so often. It's mostly keyboard, however. And the sample is B.B. King going "I been downhearted baby, ever since the day we met." 'Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand' Primitive Radio Gods (O'Connor, Feather, Feather. Contains samples from "How Blue Can You Get" by Feather and Feather.) G C Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep G Moonlight spills on comic books Bm C And superstars in magazines G C An old friend calls and tells us where to meet G Her plane takes off from Baltimore Bm C And touches down on Bourbon Street G C We sit outside and argue all night long G About a god we've never seen Bm C But never fails to side with me G C Sunday comes and all the papers say Bm Ma Teresa's joined the mob C And happy with her full time job G Do do do do doo do G C Am I alive or thoughts that drift away? G Does summer come for everyone? Bm C Can humans do as prophets say? G C And if I die before I learn to speak G Bm Can money pay for all the days I lived awake C But half asleep? G Do do do do doo do x 2 G C A life is time, they teach us growing up G The seconds ticking killed us all Bm C A million years before the fall G C You ride the waves and don't ask where they go G You swim like lions through the crest Bm C And bathe yourself on zebra flesh G I've been downhearted baby, I've been downhearted baby, Bm C Ever since the day we met (repeat) As always, this is an interpretation of O'Connor's brilliant song. Corrections, btab, are welcome. -- Josh Ellis gabriel@poboxes.com http://www.loop.com/~pat1/ "If I die before I learn to speak Will money pay for all the days I've lived awake but half-asleep" --Primitive Radio Gods
