Sinatra And I chords by James Keelaghan

Sinatra and I
-James Keelaghan
Tabbed by: TapdancingJayses

[Intro]
A

G
I have to admit there's a strange tale between us
A
A twisted road winding between you and I
G
I was living in a cabin on the edges of Staten
A
I was lyin' in bed, looking out at the night

D
Grey sky exploded, fire rained down
D
Some refinery in Jersey had burned to the ground
D
Call me superstitious, I called it a sign.
A
I packed up the van, headed out for the night

G
I wandered for months; it was gorgeous but somehow
A
I didn't know what I was tryin' to find
G
The last days of summer found me crossin' the border
A
I was feelin' quite lonely, quite out of my mind.

D
I stopped in Regina, my spirits were low
A
If I didn't do something, I was bound to explode.
D
If I was gonna keep travelin' I needed a date
A
Pulled the van to a stop at the SPCA

D
There he sat curled up, back in a corner
A
Face like a bandit, and icy blue eyes.
G
Opened the gate and casually strolled
A
Out of the kennel, and into my life.

NOTE: I dont' usually do this, but I'll let you figure out the rest. It's the same
and I'm writing this in a hurry. Sorry!


So it was that Sinatra and I went a'rovin'

Yeah, that's what I called him, because of his eyes

Turns out as well, he's a pretty good singer

Though he tends more to blues than to strangers at night


Blue-eyes beside me we kept heading North

Near Whitehorse the van finally gave up the ghost

Got a job at a cafe where Sinatra begged scraps

Savin' our money for spark plugs and maps


Some nights we've both got cabin fever

We go for a walk ol' Sinatra and I

Nose in the ground, sniffing out possibilities

Me looking out through the dome of the sky.


I ask him to sit, he pays me no mind.

He'll do it his way, and I'll do it mine

That's why I liked him, once more that's why

I think there's a future for Sinatra and I.
