♫ Intro: 

A  Em  A  Em


♫ Verse 1:
A
He's old like the raspberry cold
Em
Coming in the window
A
His gloom room
                 Em
Flowers blooming out like armadillos


♫ Verse 2:
   A
He looks to the left at the yellow lines
Em
Moving with the traffic
    A                            Em
His veins have turned to plastic blinds

♫ Interlude: 
A  Em  A  Em


♫ Verse 3:
   A
He was new like the violet dew
Em
Water looking at him through
A
The telescopic mountain view
          Em
Where the stars were still laughing
   A
He lept into the northern sky
Em
Filled his lungs with peach pie
A                   Em
Never even wondered why


♫ Chorus: 
B
Go with the yellow light
B
Your mind is a dandelion
    F#
The weight of your crooked spine
                G#m
Is returning to snow
    E                           B
And though you are mostly now machines
                  D                    G   D   G
Not electrical in dreams you're a rose


♫ Bridge: 
A
He's old like the raspberry cold
G
Coming in the window
    A
His gloom room
                      G
Flowers then blooming out like armadillos
   A
He walks with the owls in the yellow moon
G
Walks like a river lapping
    A
His blood is thick and tacking


♫ Interlude: 
G   A   G   A
G   A   G


♫ Verse 4:

    Em
The stars were still laughing
   Bm
He lept into the northern sky
                      G
Filled his lungs with peach pie
Bm
Never even wondered why


♫ Chorus: 
B
Go with the yellow light
B
Your mind is a dandelion
    F#
The weight of your crooked spine
                G#m
Is returning to snow
    E                           B
And though you are mostly now machines
                  D               A
Not electrical in dreams you're a rose


♫ Outro:
