A----------- into Am
E----3(b)--
on the Am you start with "Asteroid crashed, and nothing burned."
D--------
A--------- into Fm
E----3(b)
on the Fm Trey sing "It made me wonder..." (i don't know what this G, Gm9 is all about)
Next you groove on F#m for the verse:
Do tigers sleep in lily patches?
Do rhinos run from thunder?
I got an ache in my left ear
I felt a twinge but I still could hear.
It made me think I would not be burned,
but rather give myself to

E----3(b)--
on the Fm: "Shouting his graphic translation"
Then you continue with F#m for the second verse:
All out of order
Gang wars and ails of riches,

To knock on the lavatory door
Accusing me of ruining the fun,

He knocked on it some more
F G Ab Am
The fun, He knocked on it some more.

"Alloyed suitors drawn inside"
D-----------
A----------- into Fm
E----3(b)--
"An apple or a grape"
F#m(3rd verse):
To put forth a cloud of Mercury
In front of a mighty car
On a freeway in Los Angeles
Once the spraying has been done'
Cause there's more pain from necessity
You're a portrait of your past,
There's a mummy in the cabinet.
Are there no more arrows left?
What's that rubber bottle doing here?
How's that napkin for a proof
Ten cents to a dollar now
For a shelf of pregnant ears
Robert Palmer is applauded
again, s'again, s'again
F G Ab Am
So stupendous, living in this tube.
