THE GREAT BICYCLE DISASTER
by Kelly McGuire
INTRO - D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
Verse 1:
D MajorD G+G
On a hill that was bigger than any I knew
G+G D MajorD
I learned the thrill of the wind as I flew
B minorBm F# minorF#m
On the edge of catastrophe fast as I could
G+G A augmentedA
Adrenaline pumped in my blood
G+G A augmentedA
Adrenaline pumped in my blood
Verse 2:
D MajorD G+G
Then a trip to the library opened a world
G+G D MajorD
Of whalers and pirates and breakers that curled
B minorBm F# minorF#m
Around Beaches on islands just pages away
G+G A augmentedA
From where I am anchored today
G+G A augmentedA
From where I am anchored today
Chorus 1:
D MajorD G+G
Cause I m a writer and a sailor and a singer of songs
G+G D MajorD
And I ll take you places if you ll come along
B minorBm F# minorF#m
From a sunset in Key West to the Seattle rain
G+G A augmentedA
I ll show you the colors of pleasure and pain
D MajorD G+G
And I m a constant observer of the humanoid race
G+G D MajorD
Addicted to children with smiles on their face
B minorBm F# minorF#m
And I m a hopeless romantic that can t help but dream
G+G A augmentedA
Eclectically challenged it seems
G+G A augmentedA
Eclectically challenged it seems
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G (same as Intro)
Verse 3:
D MajorD G+G
Once I took a chance and I gave up my heart
G+G D MajorD
But before the dance ended it didn t quite start
B minorBm F# minorF#m
And I ve played that song over and over again
G+G A augmentedA
But I still can t figure out why
G+G A augmentedA
No I still can t figure out why
Verse 4:
D MajorD G+G
But it s a circular motion this travel thru time
G+G D MajorD
Your journey s not over and neither is mine
B minorBm F# minorF#m
There s a new chapter written each day you can read
G+G A augmentedA
Extrapolate all that you need
G+G A augmentedA
Extrapolate all that you need
Chorus 2:
D MajorD G+G
Cause I m a writer and a sailor and a singer of songs
G+G D MajorD
And I ll take you places if you ll come along
B minorBm F# minorF#m
From a sunset in Key West to the Seattle rain
G+G A augmentedA
I ll show you the colors of pleasure and pain
D MajorD G+G
And I m desperate survivor of the humanoid race
G+G D MajorD
Addicted to children with smiles on their face
B minorBm F# minorF#m
And I m a troubadour destined to sing what he sees
G+G A augmentedA
That aging explorer is me
G+G A augmentedA
Oh that aging explorer is me
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G (same as Intro)
D MajorD G+G
On a hill that was bigger than any I knew
G+G D MajorD
I learned the thrill of the wind as I flew.
