Selection chords: Katie Paterson

B          G#m
Lonely boy gazing on the afternoon
           D#m                F#
People drifting cross the surface of the twilight day
          B       G#m
Thereʼs a Little Yellow Man, standing by the railway station
       D#m               F#
Painting portraits on the brickwalls of Billie Holloway
A#
Lovely Lady S.M.I.L.E.
E          B           F#     C#
Dance, my dear, Iʼm only operating on "Lassie Come Home"
G#sus4           G#m                D#7     C#m
"This was authentic you" she spoke, "this was authentic you
who blew me cold"
G#m         D#7            F#
He had no chance to realize, it hit her straight
between the eyes
         C#
So Iʼve been told

B                 G#m
In the park, sheʼs giving out some photographs
         D#m                F#
On which sheʼs giving out some photos of what she hands around
           B                G#m
"They videoed a ghost tonight", she said before I turned it out
       D#m              F#
"It rode an orange paper-bike, and left without a sound."
A#
Keep on riding, Sir
E       B           F#       C#
Open up the door and shout it out: "Lassie Come Home, Come Home!!!"
G#sus4           G#m                D#7           C#m
"This was authentic you?" she spoke, "this was authentic you
who blew, who blew me cold"
G#m       D#7             F#
I had no chance to realize, it hit her straight between the eyes
         C#
So Iʼve been told

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