Big Dipper Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][G][Am][G][C][F][G]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]Cigarettes
[F]and carrot jui[G]ce
Get yourself [Am]a new [C]tattoo
For those sleeveless [F]days of June
[G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]I'm sitting on the cafe [C]Zinho steps
[F]With a boo[G]k I haven't
started [Am]yet
Watching all [C]the girls walk by
[F][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Could I take you [F]out?
I'd be yours without [Dm]a doubt
[C]On that Big Dip[G]per

[Verse 4]
[G]
And if the sound of this it
frightens [F]you
We could play it real [Dm]cool[C]
And act somewhat indif[G]ferent.

[Verse 5]
[Am]
And, hey, June,
[C]why'd you have [F]to come
Why'd you have to come
[G]around so [Am]soon?
I wasn't [C]ready for all this
[F]nature[G][Am]
The terrible [C]green, green [F]grass
And violent [G]blooms of
flowered [Am]dresses
And afternoon[C]s that
make me sleepy
[F][G]

[Verse 6]
But we could wait [F]a while
Be[G]fore we push that dull [Dm]turnstile[C]
Into the pas[G]sage

[Verse 7]
[G]
But thousands they have [F]tread
And others some[Dm]times [C]fled
Before [G]the turn came

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][C][F][G][Am][C]
[F][Dm][F][G][Am][C][F][G][Am]
[C][F][G]

[Verse 8]
[G]We could wait our [F]lives
Before a chance ar[Dm]rives[C]
Before the pas[G]sage

[Verse 9]
[G]
From the top you can see [F]Monterey
Or think about San [Dm]Jose[C]
Though I know it's not that [G]pleasant

[Verse 10]
[Am]
And, hey, [C]Jim [F]Kerouac
Brother of [G]the famous [Am]Jack
Or so he likes to [C]say,
"lucky bas[F]tard"[G][Am]
He's sitting on the [C]cafe Zinho steps
[F]With a g[G]irl I'm not over yet[Am]
Watching all the [C]world go by
[F][G]

[Verse 11]
[G]Boy, you're looking [F]bad
Did I make [G]you [Dm]feel that [C]sad?
I'm honestly flattered
[G]

[Verse 12]
But if she asked me [F]out
I'd be hers without [Dm]a doubt[C]
On that Big [G]Dipper

[Verse 13]
[Am]
[C]Cigarettes [F]and carrot jui[G]ce
Get yourself [Am]a new [C]tattoo
For those [F]sleeveless days
of June
[G]

[Verse 14]
[Am]
I'm sitting on [C]the cafe Zinho steps
[F]I h[G]aven't got the courage ye[Am]t[C]
I haven't got the cour[F]age [G]yet
I haven't got the courage yet.
