June 18 1976 chords by The Pedro

June 18, 1976  by Pedro the Lion, Progress EP

Dm
 You were born in KC, Missouri      To a girl who wasn't married
Dm
 After your birth she brought you to the nursery
Dm
 Kissed your head and told you not to worry
F
 And then quietly she turned and slipped away

Dm
 In the elevator her heart began to pound   To the rooftop, in her slippers, and her gown
Dm
 On the edge, she took one last look around
C

Then closed her eyes and pushed away

G
Speeding toward the ground
G
 Through the air without a sound    So gracefully

Dm
 Twelve flights down, nearly naked on the ground  Skin and tragedy always attract a crowd
Dm
 So it was when the policeman came around    He took more than fifty eyewitness accounts
C
Each one in awe, for they'd never seen a girl so sad and beautiful.....

G
 Speeding toward the ground
G
Through the air without a sound
G
   Speeding toward the ground
F
Through the air without a sound  So gracefully
