Have you been looking for that song that says, "We're not in Kansas anymore"? Here it is. I get the feeling that it has always been around... I plucked it out of the ethers and am bringing it to you via http!
4/4, Slow and Shifty
[Opening Instrumental]
[Cm] [Cm] [Cm] [Gm, break on 3rd beat, slide low E high-low]
I've
[Em] Driven across this country and where-
[Am] ever I do roam, I
[Em] Find myself some friends and
[Am Em] I call that place home
[Em+] [Em + Notes: F# F# F# E E]
Still my
Friends might not believe that I
Drove a thousand miles on just
One of your hugs and
Three of your smiles
CHORUS (3 sections in all):
[Em] So come here Twyla Quicke
[Am Em] And help me if you can
[Em+]
[Gm] I've lit up a lantern
[Bm] I opened the cellar door
[Am] But I don't thank we're in
[Em] Kansas anymore
[Em+]
[Em] The tin man's got a heart and
[Am] The scarecrow's got a brain, I
[Em] Think we all agree Auntie
[Am] "Em" is quite insane
[Em] But where else would you go, if you were
[Am Em] Alone on the plains?
[Em+]
[Em] Remembering Minnesota is like
[Am] Looking through a haze, like
[Em] Living inside a twister that
[Am Em] Lasted for three days
[Em+]
I don't mean to sound uncertain
And I don't want to play no games, but I
Couldn't decide which is prettier, your
Face or your name
[Instrumental... keyboard solo]
[Gm Cm] [Ab Gm] [Gm Cm] [Ab Ab]
[Cm] Twy...
[Gm] la...
Well,
Your skirt flowed like a willow there was
Grace in every step, that I
Don't see more of you is
Something I regret
And
If I was like the lion and I
Had some courage, true, I'd have
Asked you for a dance, and your
Little dog, too!
---Chorus---
[Gm] So come here Twyla Quicke
[Bm] And help me if you can
[Am] Understand the difference between
[Em] A boy and a man
[Em+]
