Words & music by Paul Simon 1989
Am6
I can't run but
| |
I can walk much faster than this
| |
Can't run but
I can't run but
| |
I can walk much faster than this
|Ebass F#bass Gbass G#bass |
Can't run but
Am Am6 Am7 Am6|Am Am6 Am7 Am6 |
A cooling system
Am Am6 Am7 Am6 |Am Am6 Am7 Am6|
Burns out in the Ukraine
Am6 | |
Trees and umbrellas
| |
Protect us from the new rain
| |
Armies of engineers
|Ebass F#bass Gbass G#bass |
To analyze the soil
Am6 | |
The food we contemplate
| |
The water that we boil
I can't run but
| |
I can walk much faster than this
| |
Can't run but
I can't run but
| |
I can walk much faster than this
|Ebass F#bass Gbass G#bass |
Can't run but
Am Am6 Am7 Am6|Am Am6 Am7 Am6 |Am Am6 Am7 Am6|Am Am6 Am7 Am6 |
Oo -- we Oo -- we
Am6 | | | | | | |Ebass F#bass Gbass G#bass |
Am Am6 Am7 Am6|Am Am6 Am7 Am6|
I had a dream about us
|Am Am6 Am7 Am6 |Am Am6 Am7 Am6|
In the bottles and the bones of the night
Am6 |
I felt a pain in my shoulder blade
| | |
Was like a pencil point? A love bite?
| |
A couple was rubbing against us
|Ebass F#bass Gbass G#bass |
Rubbing and doing that new dance
Am Am6 Am7 Am6 |Am Am6 Am7
The man was wearing a jacket and jeans
Am6 |Am Am6 Am7 Am6|Am Am6 Am7 Am6|
The woman was laughing in ad--vance
I can't run but
| |
I can walk much faster than this
| |
Can't run but
I can't run but
| |
I can walk much faster than this
|Ebass F#bass Gbass G#bass |
Can't run but
Am Am6 Am7 Am6|Am Am6 Am7
A winding river
Am6 |Am Am6 Am7 Am6|Am Am6 Am7 Am6|
Gets wound around a heart. Pull it
Am6 |
Tighter and tighter
| | |
Until the muddy waters part
| |
Down by the river bank
|Ebass F#bass Gbass G#bass |
A blues band arrives
Am6 | |
The music suffers, baby
| | |
The music business thrives, oh
I can't run but
| |
I can walk much faster than this
| |
Can't run but
I can't run but
| |
I can walk much faster than this
|Ebass F#bass Gbass G#bass |
Can't run but
Am Am6 Am7 Am6|Am Am6 Am7 Am6 |Am Am6 Am7 Am6|Am Am6 Am7 Am6 |
Oo -- we Oo -- we
