F C
Sometimes there's no star shining
F C
Scouting the edge of the universe
F C
Sometimes you can't see a horizon
F C
Between the ocean and the earth
F C B
And just when you were thinking about slinkin' down
Bb
I'm gonna pull you up I'm gonna pull ya round
F
May I remind you of that scene?
C
The spirit is our gasoline
F
May I remind you of that scene?
C Bb C Eb
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
F
May I remind you of that scene?
C
Let a million mirror balls beam
F C
May I remind you of that scene?
F C
And you say 'living ain't nothing but hassles'
F C
In a manilla envelope rain
F C B
And driving coal all-night to Newcastle
Bb
It's getting to be a repetitive strain
And just when you thought you're going down the drain
F
May I remind you of that scene?
C
The spirit is our gasoline
F
May I remind you of that scene?
C Bb C Eb
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
F
May I remind you of that scene?
C
Let a million mirror balls beam
F C
May I remind you of that scene?
I'm gonna pull you up I'm gonna pull ya round
F
May I remind you of that scene?
C
The spirit is our gasoline
F
May I remind you of that scene?

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
F
Let a million mirror balls beam

The spirit is our gasoline
F
May I remind you of that scene?
C Bb C Eb
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
F Ab
They say the stars can't see their rays
C Eb
Nor can they count their numbered days
F Ab
No flower can says what perfume is
C Eb
We got all this and Bird and Diz
F Ab
May I remind you of that scene?
C Bb C Eb
We were arms aloft in Aberdeen
F Ab C
May I remind you of that scene?
