McCartney Blues

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Yesterday,
Rock n roll gone sold her soul.
Yesterday,
Rock n roll gone sold her soul.
She bargained at the crossroads
When she was only twelve years old.

Now every morning,
The bitter dust comes raining down.
Now every morning,
The bitter dust comes reigning down.
She shuffles into the kitchen
When she hears that awful sound

Crazy daze,
When the kingdom paved the way.
Crazy days,
When the crown paved the way.
I let her in my heart
When she needed a place to stay.

Going down the road now,
Where she threw it all away,
Going down the road now,
Where she threw it all away.
She taught me to write this song
And to sing it where all the children play.

Upon the water,
She sails her ship into the sun.
Upon the water,
She sails her ship into the sun.
The shining of my heart baby
Will pass before the morning comes.

Late at night,
I see the forest for the trees.
Late at night,
I see the forest for the trees.
But I can’t find the answer
‘Cause it’s floating in the breeze.

Up at dawn,
All the children lose their way.
Up at dawn,
All the children lose their way.
Their old road turns to rubble
In the crazy month of may.

I’ll meet you there,
Down the corner of fifth and main.
I’ll meet you there,
Down on the corner of fifth and main.
Where we’ll buy back her soul
of rock n roll and play it once again.

Words and music by Joshua J Byrd for The Strange Attractors.

Verse:
Lennon prayed we’d join him some day
Imagining a better way,
But it seems we’ve got a long long way to go.

If heaven is a magic pie
Waiting for us to pass it by,
Imagine if we all believed in you.

Bridge:
Because I feel, the way you do,
And I need you, to be there too.
Cause now I feel, the way you do.
And in your head, you know I’m talking to you.

Verse:
Hey John sing me a song.
I need to hear, It Won’t Be Long,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cause I am he, but she’s not free
To go on living eternally,
Just like the time you saw her standing there.

Bridge:
Because I feel, the way you do,
And I need you, to be there too.
Cause now I feel, the way you do.
I’m in your head, and yes I’m talking to you.

Outro:
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na na

Join us.

Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na
Na, na na na

May need a touch more work. Will get to that later.
