Oysters And Pearls Teclado

	  A			G 
Lindbergh left Long Island in 1927 
E	F#m/E	E7 
Thumbed his nose at gravity 
E		A 
And climbed into the heavens 
D				Cmaj7	Bm 
When he returned to earth that night everything changed 
G		D/F#	D/E		E 
For the pilot and the planet, everything was rearranged 

A 
We’re a pretty mixed up bunch  
		G 
Of crazy human beings 
E 	F#m/E	E7 
It’s written on our rocket ships 
E		A 
And in early cave wall scenes 
D 
How does it happen? 
Cmaj7		Bm 
How do we know? 
G		D 
Who sits and watches? 
Bm		A/C# 
Who does the show? 

Chorus 
D 		A/C# 
Some people love to lead 
C		G/B 
And some refuse to dance 
Gm/Bb	D	A7sus	A7 
Some play it safely, other’s take a chance 
D 		A/C# 
Still it’s all a mystery 
Csus		C 
This place we call the world 
E		F#m 
Where most live as oysters 
G		A 
While some become pearls 

  

A				G 
Elvis was the only man from Northeast Mississippi 
E		F#m/E	E7		E	A 
Who could shake his hips and still be loved by rednecks, cops and hippies. 
D			Cmaj7		Bm 
It’s something more than DNA that tells us who we are 
G		D	Bm	A			 
It’s method and it’s magic, we are of the stars 


Chorus 
D 		A/C# 
Some never fade away,  
C		G/B 
some crash and burn 
Gm/Bb		D	A7sus	A7 
Some make the world go round, other watch it turn 
D 		A/C# 
Still it’s all a mystery 
Csus		C 
This place we call the world 
E		F#m 
Most are fine as oysters 
G		A 
While some become pearls
