Staring out of his window as the world rushes by

Arthur Robinson closes the glass and replies

Me and the girl who could make it all clean

Out there in the shadow of the modern machine

Walks St. Robinson in his Cadillac dream 


[The rest of the song follows the same pattern, quite simple really]

St Robinson In His Cadillac Dream

According to songfacts.com this song is about the extremes that exist within us (&quot;Coffee black and egg white&quot;), our unwillingness to reveal them (&quot;Taffy stuck and tongue tied, stutter shook and uptight&quot;), the defenses we put up to keep people from seeing our true natures (&quot;I am covered in skin, no one gets to come in&quot;), and the terrifying bliss when we let our defenses down to someone we love (&quot;Pull me out from inside, I am ready, I am fine&quot;).

nanananananananana..

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
All at once you look across a crowded room
To see the way that light attaches to a girl

And it's one more day up in the conyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California...I think you should

Drove up to the Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk a little lower about
the things you could not show her

And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass

And it's been one more day up in the canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean...I guess I should

Long December

1st verse :
Am                    Am
 My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
G                 G
 I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
Am                     Am
 My friend implores me, "For one time only,
G                   G
 Make an exception", I am not worried
Am                               Am
 Wrap her up in a package of lies, Send her off to a coconut island
G                 G
 I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
Am                                 Am
 With the status of my emotions "Oh," she says, "you're changing."
          G              G
But we're always changing It does not bother me to



Pre-chorus :
Em
Say this isn't love
C                           D

   Em                    C                          D
Then it isn't love and I guess I'm going to have to live with that
       Em
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey
C               D        
 Something in between and
 Em                       C                  D
I can always change my name, if that's what you mean



2nd Verse :
Am                    Am
 My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
        G                   G
But I am not really worried, I am not overly concerned
Am                                              Am
 You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself
To make yourself forget
G                        G
 To make yourself forget, I am not worried

D                  Em
Think about the consequences." She can't stop shaking
C             D
 I can't stop touching her and



Chorus :
     G         C               Am
This time when kindness falls like rain
   D           G       C        Em    D             G
It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind

Como intro:
Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Am
Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Am
Reflexionando en esto,
C5
la madrugada pasó,
B5 / Am / G5 / F5# / Em
y dejó otro día para ser.

Ser guardianes o vigías de toda la miel

Vender, comprar.

Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser

Culpable o inocente, malviviente o juez.
O quien con sólo su firma decreta la ley.
Pronucleares informistas modelan la situación.
Más tecnología, por más energía.
Fuga radiactiva de progreso.

Vender, comprar.

Odiar, amar.

con su luz tu verdad,
F9/A Cm
avanzar y no avanzar,

que loco remolino,

ya no ves . . .

la maldad que hay allí . . .

solo estás en tu cruz,

oh déjame explorarte,
F4 C
solo extiéndete una vez más . . .
F4 C
extiéndete una vez más . . .

la canción de la sed,

como el agua se nos fue . . .

líbrame . . .

Oh! líbrame . . .

Líbrame de la galaxia

ya no ves . . .

ya no ves

lo que ya sé nos pasó

respirar y oxidar,

y olvidarse y no fumar . . .

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

exiténdete una vez más . . .

extiendete una vez más

extiendete una vez más

Nota: C B y
Am 2
eres mi esperanza
Am 3
solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo hombres
5 6 7
y como fondo un cielo.

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe,

tal vez

me sentirás tal vez

me sentirás

las aguas en tus ojos

vibran su dulce brillo

una piel y una flor

son tus pechos,

que no piensan menos mal,

oh por favor,

gira loca girasol . . .

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

eres mi esperanza,

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

y como un fondo un cielo . . .

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe

tal vez me sentirás

tal vez me sentirás

Resistirse a complacer

INTRO: DOm - FA - MIb - LA# - DOm - MIb - FA - LA# - DOm

DOm - FA - MIb - LA#

DOm LA# DOm LA#
Saber que es lo que te pasa, sabes a veces lleva tiempo

DOm LA#
Es que el amor es una ciencia exacta,

DOm LA#
Y el dolor suele ser un misterio

SOL# DOm
Salir, parece buena idea,

SOL# DOm
Escapar, esa no es la manera de seguir

SOL# DOm
No esperar que el tiempo arregle todo,

SI LA#
Cuestión de encontrar el modo de reír

DOm FA MIb LA# DOm
Y si no estas bien, no te desarmes

FA MIb LA# DOm
Ponte de pie y andar y andar

FA MIb LA# DOm
No los escuchés pueden marearte

FA MIb LA# DOm
Solo saben hablar, y hablar y hablar

PUENTE: DOm LA# DOm LA#


DOm LA# DOm LA# DOm
A donde vas? No entiendo, no

LA# DOm LA#
Por que estas mintiendo?

DOm FA MIb LA# DOm
Y si no estas bien, no te desarmes

FA MIb LA# DOm
Ponte de pie y andar y andar…

FA MIb LA# DOm
No los escuchés pueden marearte

FA MIb LA# DOm
Solo saben hablar, y hablar y hablar...


SOLO: DOm LA#

FINAL: DOm - FA - MIb - LA# - DOm - MIb - FA - LA#

MI ARREGLO 1
Alegría, alegría,
MI ARREGLO 1
exalta mi corazón
LA SOL
si el indio blanco convida
MI ARREGLO 2
sonar en el Willie Dixon.

Se dará cita la audiencia
metalera y sin revés,
para corear el canto
que te dedica Almafuerte.

RIFF 2
La más amada por cuna del pabellón,
bastión de patria, Provincia de Santa Fe.

INTRO (PARTE 2) X 2
Ciudad de Rosario, Ciudad de Rosario.
Ciudad de Rosario, Ciudad de Rosario.

Zanjeando en tus orillas
de pibe la suerte hallé,
cuando un disco de Pappo
oí por primera vez.

Mis primos del barrio Acindar,
desde ese día supieron
que seguiría los pasos
de aquél inmenso rockero.

La más amada por cuna del pabellón,
bastión de patria, Provincia de Santa Fe.

Ciudad de Rosario, Ciudad de Rosario.
Ciudad de Rosario, Ciudad de Rosario.
