[Verse]
D                      C             
Scratch my back with a lightnin' bolt
Am                   Em            
Thunder rolls like a bass drum note
C                           D                G   
The sound of the weather is Heaven's ragtime band
D                         C        
We all fell down from the Milky Way
Am                          Em           
Hangin' round here 'til the Judgement Day
F           C              D      
Heaven only knows who's in command


[Chorus]
G D                        Em   D
■ Barefoot children in the rain ■
C        G       A7      D
■ Got no need to explain ■
G         D                      Em    D
■ We'd be swingin' on a ball and chain ■
Bm7 C             G             Am        C        Em  
■   ■ It's always understood by those who play the game
C D                        G

[Verse]
D                 C                 
Show me yours and I'll show you mine
Am                           Em           
Take me back to days full of monkey shines
C                            D                     G  
Bouncin' on a bubble full of trouble in the summer sun
D                       C         
Keep your raft from the river boat
Am                Em                
Fiction over fact always has my vote
    F             C                        D   
And wrinkles only go where the smiles have been


[Chorus]
G D                        Em   D

Bm7     D                  C          
The sky turns blue and the sun appears
        Am7                          Em        
But the question's still what are we doin' here
F                   C                 D   
■ I don't think the answer's close at hand


[Chorus]
