Guitar chords with lyrics
Trans-Island Skyway |C13 | | | | |C13 | | | | |C13 | C9 |C13 | | |C13 | C9 |C13 | | C13 I was born yesterday When they brought my Kamakiri
                              C9  C13
When they handed me the keys
It's a steam-power 10
The frame is out of Glasgow
The tech is Balinese
It's not a freeway bullet
Or a bug with monster wheels
It's a total biosphere
The farm in the back
Is hydroponic
Good, fresh things
Every day of the year
Good, fresh things
Every day of the year
With all screens and functions
In sync lock with Tripstar
This cool rolling bubble
   F9
Is all set to samba
                    G9
This route could be trouble
F9                       Ab9
    (This route could be trouble)
A9
Steamin' up
     F#7-9+5      F#7
That Trans-Island Skyway
Cmaj13                           B7
       Tryin' to make that final deadline
            A9
And if the lanes are clear
            F#7-9+5        F#7
We're gonna drive a little harder
         Cmaj13              B7           C9
We'll be deep in the Zone by cryin' time
D7 C#7 C13
          Say, there's a wreck
                         C9 C13
On the side of the road
Lots of blood and broken glass
C9       C13
Well the kid who was driving
                      C9    C13
I know from somewhere
                             C9 C13
Some kids just drive too fast
Wait just a minute
                             C9 C13
There's a beautiful survivor
                                       C9 C13
With dancer's legs and laughing eyes
                                    C9 C13
C'mon snakehips, it's all over now
Strap in tight cause it's a long sweet ride
  C7
Relax - put some sounds on
I'll brew up some decaf
C'mon kick off those heels ma'am
    F9
Now breathe in and sigh out
                    G9
Let's get with the program
F9                    Ab9
(Let's talk about the good times)
A9
Steamin' up
     F#7-9+5      F#7
That Trans-Island Skyway
Cmaj13                           B7
       Tryin' to make that final deadline
            A9
And if the lanes are clear
            F#7-9+5        F#7

D11
    We reach the sprangle
D13
    Just at dawn
D11                                  D13
     These little streets I used to know
D11
    Is that my father
G13
Mowin' the lawn
 D13
(C'mon daddy get in let's go)
D11
C'mon daddy get in let's go
D9                  D11
    C'mon daddy get in let's go
                G9
C'mon daddy get in let's go
D11
   C'mon daddy get in let's go
       D9
C'mon daddy get in let's go
                G9
C'mon daddy get in let's go
   C13
We pull into Five Zoos
Past motels and drive-thrus
That noon sun is blinding
    F9
The tidepools are boiling
                 G7
Below plates are grinding
F9                       Ab9           D13-5
   (Let's talk about the good times)
