3.Big Dipper
Am cigarette c and carrot juice f-g(sus4)
And get yourself a am new tattoo c for those sleeveless f days
of g(sus4) june
I'm sitting on the cafe zinho's steps with a book i haven't
started yet
Watching all the girls walk by
Could i take you f out
I'll be yours without a dm doubt
C on that big g(sus4) dipper
And if the sound of this it frightens you
We could play it real cool
And act somewhat indifferent
And hey june why did you have to come, why did you have to come
around so soon
I wasn't ready for all this nature
The terrible green green grass, and violent blooms of flowered
dresses
And afternoons that make me sleepy
But we could wait awhile
Before we push that dull turnstile
Into the passage
The thousands they had tread
And others sometimes fled
Before the turn came
Repeat section 1 x2
And we could wait our lives
Before a chance arrives
Before the passage
From the top you can see monterey
Or think about san jose
Though i know it's not that pleasant
And hey jim kerouac brother of the famous jack
Or so he likes to say 'lucky bastard'
He's sitting on the cafe xeno's steps with a girl i'm not over
yet
Watching all the world go by
Boy you are looking bad
Did i make you feel that sad
I'm honestly flattered
But if she asks me out
I'll be hers without a doubt
On that big dipper
Cigarettes and carrot juice
And get yourself a new tattoo for those sleeveless days of june
I'm sitting on the cafe xeno's steps
I haven't got the courage yet, i haven't got the courage yet,
I haven't got the ending am courage yet

This is the golden age
It's hard to imagine
With the way i feel today
That this is the golden age
The golden age
Somewhere i failed
Somewhere i lost you
In a black crowd of crows
And shiny things
I can't remember
This is the golden age
This is the golden age
The golden age
It seems like i'm high
But baby i'm crawling
In the unbearable days
I threw away
But i should have savored
The flaxen light
Off of the dying wheat
Your rye whiskey mouth
And your dandelion teeth
This is the golden age
This is the golden age
This is the golden age

Girl would you like to live my life
And i'll be with you tonight
I'll be your useless stuff
I'll be your useless stuff
Can i be your useless stuff？

A we went down to the e old part of town
By the f#m stinking canal and the cotton (slide down to
e)-d(sus4) mill
Under a a ghetto palm with her e bicycle shorts on
With a f#m gesture she (slide down to e) said to d(sus4) me
D i e really must con-f#m-fess
C#m i'd like to d get undressed bm with e(7) you
D and though the e thought had never really f#m crossed my mind,
C#m oh, but d that was a lie bm so we went a-e(7)-long
We ran out under the turning leaves
And the fetid earth, it was damp and cool
Autumn's feeble light on her salty neck
All innocence it was lost
I really must confess
I'm feeling quite distressed, my stars are always crossed
But i have always taken more than i have given back
And as a matter of fact, i've given nothing up
Repeat section 1
Repeat section 2 to finish
