A Side: Surf's Up

Gm7/D
A diamond necklace played the pawn, hand in hand some drummed along, oh
Dm7/G
To a handsome man and baton
Gm7/D
A blind class aristocracy, back through the opera glass you see
Dm7/G
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Bb.......Gm7............F/C.C.D/C
Columnated ruins domino
G/D..............................................A9/G.......................D/A
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop are you sleeping?
Gm7/D
Hung velvet overtaken me, dim chandelier awaken me
Dm7/G
To a song dissolved in the dawn
Gm7/D
The music hall a costly bow, the music all is lost for now
Dm7/G
To a muted trumperter swan
Bb.......Gm7............F/C.C.D/C
Columnated ruins domino
G/D..............................................A9/G........................D/A.....................D.Em7.Gm7/F.D/F#
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop are you sleeping, Brother John?
Fm7/Ab...........................................Eb/Bb
Dove nested towers the hour was strike the street quicksilver moon
Fm7/Ab..................................Eb/Bb
Carriage across the fog two-step to lamp lights cellar tune
........Dm7........................Gm7/C..C7..F
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne
........Dm7..................................................Gm7/C..............C7........................Edim.F
The glass was raised, the fired rose the fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
Dm7...............Gm7/C..C7..F
While at port adieu or die
.....Dm7.................................................Gm7/C............C7............................F
A choke of grief heart hardened I, beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry
Fm7/Ab...........................Eb/Bb
Surf's Up mmmmmmmm aboard aboard a tidal wave
Fm7/Ab.....................................Eb/Bb
Come about hard and join the young and often spring you gave
....Dbmaj9...................Cm7...................Fm7.......Cm7/F...Bb...Cm7
I heard the word, wonderful thing, a children's song
Fm7.............Cm7/F...............Bb......................Cm
A children's song, have you listened as they play
Fm7...............Cm7/F............Bb........................Cm
Their song is love and the children know the way
