The Other One

The other day they waited, The sky was dark and faded,

E  D  C#  B   A#-B D     (These are single notes on the high end)

Solemnly they stated,

                      A    G                                    A       G

"He has to die, You know he has to die."

And all the children learnin’, From books that they were burnin',

Every leaf was turnin' ;

To watch him die, you know he had to die.

        Em             G                   D

The summer sun looked down on him,

C (no 3rd)       B (no 3rd)  Am                 Am/G

His mother could but frown on him,

Dm/F              D/F#     Em/G         G#o

And all the others sound on him,

Am                     F#7/A#      B7

But it doesn't seem to matter.

And when the day had ended, With rainbow colors blended,

His mind remained unbended,

He had to die, you know he had to die.

E                                                                                                D

Spanish lady come to me, She lays on me this rose.

It rainbow spirals round and round Then trembles and explodes.

It left a smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away.

But the heat came 'round and busted me For smiling on a cloudy day.

E                             E  D      C      A                       G

Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around,

E     D      C A                   G

comin', around, in a circle

Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around,

comin', around, in a circle

Skippin' through the lily fields I came across an empty space,

It trembled and exploded, Left a bus stop in it's place.

The bus came by and I got on, That's when it all began,

There was cowboy Neal at the wheel Of the bus to never ever land.

B   A    G

And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended,

His mind remained unbended,

He had to die, Oh, you know he had to die
