Selection chords: Katie Paterson

C          Am
Lonely boy gazing on the afternoon
           Em                G
People drifting cross the surface of the twilight day
          C       Am
Thereʼs a Little Yellow Man, standing by the railway station
       Em               G
Painting portraits on the brickwalls of Billie Holloway
B
Lovely Lady S.M.I.L.E.
F          C           G     D
Dance, my dear, Iʼm only operating on "Lassie Come Home"
Asus4           Am                E     Dm
"This was authentic you" she spoke, "this was authentic you
who blew me cold"
Am         E            G
He had no chance to realize, it hit her straight
between the eyes
         D
So Iʼve been told

C                 Am
In the park, sheʼs giving out some photographs
         Em                G
On which sheʼs giving out some photos of what she hands around
           C                Am
"They videoed a ghost tonight", she said before I turned it out
       Em              G
"It rode an orange paper-bike, and left without a sound."
B
Keep on riding, Sir
F       C           G       D
Open up the door and shout it out: "Lassie Come Home, Come Home!!!"
Asus4           Am                E           Dm
"This was authentic you?" she spoke, "this was authentic you
who blew, who blew me cold"
Am       E             G
I had no chance to realize, it hit her straight between the eyes
         D
So Iʼve been told

C            Am
Lonely girl dancing in the music hall
         Em                G
Lightning struck her silver starship and turned it into stone
              C       Am
And now itʼs falling all the time into that void
beyond her grey eyes
           Em               G
Somewhere a telephone is ringing, but nobodyʼs at home
B          F           C
"Hello, Junkie-Sweetheart, listen now this is
your Captain calling:
           G   D
Your Captain is dead."
B       F       C              G  D
Keep on riding, Sir, open up the door and shout it out -
shout it out...
B           F           C G D
