It's just along the line can't you see the sign
When I looked around, I was heading down,

Won't somebody throw me down a line
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time,
The change from night to day is really only hours
It's just along the line, can't you see the sign
When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised

Intro RE SIm FA#m LA7
RE
Just got back from the downtown palais
Where the music was so sweet
It knocked me right back in the alley
SOL7 RE
I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
LA7
Wo, wo, wo, I'm ready
SIm FA#m MIm LA7
And I'm really gonna rock tonight.
Sweet little lady sings like a songbird
And she sings the opera like you ain't never heard,
But she ain't ready,
No, no, no, she ain't ready
No, no, no, she ain't ready,
And she ain't gonna rock & roll
MIm LA
She's sweet on Wagner,
MIm LA
I think she'd die for Beethoven,
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune,
And Verdi's always creeping from her room.
RE SIm FA#m LA7
Come on I'll show you how to sing the blues
Now baby, come on over you got nothin' to lose,
Are you ready, hey, hey, hey are you ready
Ooh, ooh, ooh, are you ready
I wanna show you how to rock and roll.
Now listen here baby she, said to me
Just, meet me at the opera house at a quarter to three,
'Cos I'm ready, yea, yea, yea, I'm ready,
Woo, hoo, hoo, I'm ready,
I'm gonna show you how to sing the blues.
RE SIm FA#m LA7
Far, far away the music is playing.
RE MIm7/SOL
Well we were reelin' and a rockin' all through the night,
Yea we were rockin' at the opera house until the break of light,
And the orchestra were playin' all Chuck Berry's greatest tunes.
And the singers in the chorus all got off on singing blues,
And as the night grew older everybody was as one,
The people on the streets came runnin' in to join in song
Just to hear the opera singer singin' rock & roll so pure,
I thought I saw the mayor there but I wasn't really sure,
RE SIm FA#m LA7 REDDDDDDDD 8-)
But it's alright.
MISSION (A World Record)
SIm
For many days we travelled from a distant place and time,
FA#m
To reach a place they call the planet Earth,
SOL FA#m
There was to be a celebration,
SIm LA LA SOL
On the mission of the sacred heart.
The planet Earth from way up there is beautiful and blue
And floating softly through a rainbow,
But when you touch down things look different here,
At the mission of the sacred heart.
CHORUS
LA SOL FA#7
Watching all the days roll by
SIm SOLm6
Who are you and who am I?
RE RE4 SOLm6
e---2--3--2--0------0

How's life on earth?
MIb7 RE7
When all the stars above
MIb7 RE7 LA7
Rain icy fingers down on me
On a dirty worn-out sidewalk, sits a mother with a baby,
In her vale of tears she sees no rainbow
And someone's singing from a window
In the mission of the sacred heart.
CHORUS -- repeat
There's a building on a corner, in a city, in a land,
On a place they call the planet Earth,
My orders are to sit here and watch the world go by,
From the mission of the sacred heart.
CHORUS -- repeat

Two drifters on the morning sky,

Two drifters sailing wide and high,
MI FA#m SOL#m FA#m
When summer breezes blow across your mind,
MI FA#m SI9 SI
With you, I will walk the line.
CHORUS
DO#m FA#m
I want it so fine
DO#m FA#m
I want it so fine
DO#m FA#m LAm MI DO SOL RE LA
I want it so fine
People walking hand in hand,
Everybody's singing to the band,
I want to be where the stars shine bright,
And hear sweet music on a summer night.
CHORUS -- repeat
Sundowners we'll go on and on,
We'll find the land of the midnight sun,
And when you look you'll see for miles around,
You'll see, the world is in your hand.

(Taking a dive) (halt the slide)
Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day,
Moving in line when you look back in time
To your first day
CHORUS -- repeat
Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream,
So let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream

But it's alright yes it's alright
SIm7
It's alright with me,
RE MI
You better believe me now.
I guess it's like a mountain side,
You gotta climb it to the top,
Floating in a sea of dreams
The only thing that you can see
Is the view above the clouds.
I'm waiting here,
But it's alright,
Still it's alright with me,
You better believe me now.

DO YA
RE LA SOL LA
In this life I've seen everything I can see woman,
D A G A etc.
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,
And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides
SOL
But I never seen nothing like you.
CHORUS
RE LA SOL SOLA
RE LA SOL SOL LA
Do ya do ya want my love
Do ya do ya want my face
Do ya do ya want my mind
Do ya do ya want my love
Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune,
As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums,
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you.
RE LA
In the country where the sky touches down
SOL4 SOL
On the field, she lay her down to rest
RE FAd SOLd
In the morning sun,
They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to
Feel to touch her long black hair they don't give a damn
CHORUS -- repeat
Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman,
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,
I've seen enough of the world to know,
That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.
Look out!
RE FAd SOLd FAd RE
Do you do you want my love, Do you do you want my love,

SHANGRI-LA
LA MI
Sitting here, waiting for,
FA#m DO#m
Someone calling at my door,
RE SIm7-5 LA
Too bad, I'm getting out of love.
What's the use of changing things,
Wonder what tomorrow brings,
Who knows,
I'm getting out of love.
CHORUS
LA RE
My Shangri-la has gone away,
C#m7 Gj7
Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
LA RE
She seemed to drift out on the rain
C#m7 Gj7
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Bm7-5 E6 A Aj7
I'm getting out of love (where is my Shangri-La?)
Clouds roll by and hide the sun,
Raindrops fall on everyone,
So sad,
I'm getting out of love.
