Lofty Pines
Capo 2
[Verse]
A E
It's too hot to sleep.
A E
Let's gather 'round the fan.
A E
We can't do nothin' bout the heat,
A E D
so let's just do what we can
[Chorus]
D E D
and everything 'll be just fine.
D A
Just dream of the Lofty Pines.
[Verse]
A E
Well, I dreamed of the Lofty Pines-
A E
at least what I thought they were-
A E
standing in the forest after nighttime,
A E D
swaying so cool and sure.
[Chorus]
D E D
Sure had never been so wrong;
D A
sure like the title of the perfect song.
[Verse]
A E
Now for the spectacular part.
A E
Just then, a pack of matches fell:
A E
a logo of a tree in a heart.
A E D
They're from the Lofty Pines Motel.
[Chorus]
D E D
All the while our dreams were our own.
D A
All the while that didn't mean all alone.
[Verse]
A E
Well, I gave the editor my pitch:
A E
a series on our cultural wealth,
A E
about the "error of catalogues and lists."
A E D
I call it "Why We Fight...Ourselves,"
[Chorus]
D E D
If only we had nothing to say.
D A
If only we'd done nothing that day.
[Verse]
A E
"Je suis nee pour la chaleur,"
A E
she said, in her Manhattan French.
A E
"On ne peut rien faire de la chaleur,"
A E D
We'll just have to take that chance.
[Chorus]
D E D
We've got world enough and time,
D A
dreaming of the Lofty Pines.
[Outro]
A E
Pines, pines, I dream of the lofty pines……
