Chords with lyrics
June 18, 1976 by Pedro the Lion, Progress EP
DmDm
You were born in KC, Missouri To a girl who wasn't married
DmDm
After your birth she brought you to the nursery
DmDm
Kissed your head and told you not to worry
FF
And then quietly she turned and slipped away
DmDm
In the elevator her heart began to pound To the rooftop, in her slippers, and her gown
DmDm
On the edge, she took one last look around
C majorC
Then closed her eyes and pushed away
G+G
Speeding toward the ground
G+G
Through the air without a sound So gracefully
DmDm
Twelve flights down, nearly naked on the ground Skin and tragedy always attract a crowd
DmDm
So it was when the policeman came around He took more than fifty eyewitness accounts
C majorC
Each one in awe, for they'd never seen a girl so sad and beautiful.....
G+G
Speeding toward the ground
G+G
Through the air without a sound
G+G
Speeding toward the ground
FF
Through the air without a sound So gracefully
