Song From the Sixteenth Floor Paul Kelly
Capo 5
[G] [C] [Am] [F]
[G] [C]
Something's frying [G] [C]
On the floor below [G] [C]
I'm leaning out [G] [F]
Of my window [G] [C]
The sky's on fire [G] [C]
The streets all aglow [G] [C]
And somebody's singing [G] [F]
To the radio [G]
[G]I would jump from the s[C]ixteenth floor
[Am]If I only could get [F]next to you
[G]Put my head in a [C]lions jaw
[Am]If I only could get [F]next to you next to you [G] [C]
I'm walking the floor [G] [C]
I'm climbing the walls[G] [C]
I wake up from dreaming[G] [F]
That's when I fall [G]
[G]I would jump from the [C]sixteenth floor
[Am]If I only could get [F]next to you
[G]Put my head in a [C]lions jaw
[Am]If I only could get [F]next to you next to you
[G]Take a ride on a [C]wrecking ball
[Am]Yes I would darling[F]
[Dm]Every day I [G]speak your name
[Dm]If I had wings I'd [G]fly
[Dm]'Cause you're not here to hold me
[G]I would jump from the [C]sixteenth floor
[Am]If I only could get [F]next to you
[G]Put my head in a [C]lions jaw
[Am]If I only could get [F]next to you next to you
[G]Take a ride on a [C]wrecking ball
[Am]Yes I would darling[F]
[Dm]Every day I [G]speak your name
[Dm]If I had wings I'd [G]fly
[Dm]There's no one here to hold me
Funky Instrumental Bit - Mostly C and G I think
[G]I'd walk on [C]burning coal [Am] [F]
[G]I'd sell my [C]only soul[Am] [F]
[G]I would jump[C] from the sixteenth floor[Am] [F]
[G]Put my head [C]in a lions jaw (yes I[Am] wou[F]ld)
[G]Take a ride [C]on Niagara Falls [Am] [F]
[G]Over broken [C]glass I would crawl[Am] [F]
Ad lib - fade - or a quick G C like through the song is a good way to wrap up quickly
