Miles Davis & The Cool Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Em][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Like Miles [G]Davis,
I've been swayed by [Em]the cool
There's just something 'bout the sum[G]mertime,
there's just something 'bout [D]the moon
So I laid a kiss on a [Em]stone,
[C]tossed it upside your win[G]dow by the roo[D]f
Before you change [Em]your [C]mind, Miles,
bring in [G]the cool

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Em][G][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Honey, put on [G]your red dress and
your diamond- soled [Em]shoes
Climb on out from that [G]window,
climb on out of your [D]room
'Cause I never had a [Em]good thing
[C]and I always had the[G] blues[D]
But I heard that you [Em]always kinda [C]wondered,
Miles, strike up the [G]cool
[D]

[Verse 3]
Don't wait too [G]long to come [D]home
My, how [Em]the years and our
youth passed [C]on
Don't wait too [G]long to come [D]home
I will [Em]leave the front light on
[C]And the night is our own[G][D]
Don't wait too [G]long

[Verse 4]
Like poor Mr. [G]Pitiful, I can't turn [Em]you loose
You move like a [G]dream I had,
I woke up sweating in my [D]room
But your mama's got [G]plans and
your daddy's aim is [Em]true
She never under[G]stood that it ain't no good,
papa never heard [D]the cool

[Verse 5]
So now I've got up my [Em]nerve[C]
and found me [G]a stone[D]
With a flick of the [Em]wrist and a turn of [C]the key,
you'll just fall in [G]my [D]arms

[Verse 6]
And don't wait too [G]long to come [D]home
My, how [Em]the years and our
youth passed [C]on
Don't wait too [G]long to come [D]home
I will [Em]leave the front light [C]on
And the night is [G]our [D]own
Don't wait too [G]long

[Verse 7]
So why don't [A]you sing to me
on this long drive [F#m]home
And let [A]the sound of your voice
sway sweet and [F#m]slow
As we go [D]down, down,
[A]down from our [Em]youth to the [F#m]ground
[D]Down, down, [A]down from our
[Em]youth to the [F#m]ground

[Verse 8]
[F#m]
We might always [Em]be blue
Jackson

[Verse 9]
Don't wait too [G]long to come [D]home
My, how the [Em]years and our
youth passed [C]on
Don't wait too [G]long to come [D]home
I will [Em]leave the front light on

[Verse 10]
[C]No, don't wait too lon[G]g to come hom[D]e
My, [Em]how the years and our
youth passed [C]on
Don't wait too [G]long to come [D]home
I will [Em]leave the front light [C]on

[Verse 11]
As we go [G]down, down,
down from our youth to the ground
Down, down, down from our
youth to the ground
Down, down, down from our
youth to the ground
Down, down, down, down, down
