...ICE COLD DAYDREAM... by Shuggie Otis
-----------------------................
*from 'Freedom Flight' (1971)*
Intro:
E7
Verse 1:
B7
I looked at you, girl, I saw a smile,
For my love, you said you'd walk a mile.
Today I see your face; you wear a frown,
Now you're telling me that I'm a clown.
Chorus 1:
E7
What's the reason, for this sudden change?
I never thought, you'd act so strange.
Verse 2:
B7
You say that I'm a boy and we should part,
So you can go and make a brand new start.
You laughed at me and then I almost cried,
You hurt my heart so bad, I had to hide.
Chorus 2:
E7
What's the reason, for this sudden change?
I never thought, you'd act so strange.
Interlude:
A7,
B7
Solo:
E7
Verse 3:
B7
I'm gettin' tired of listenin' to you talk,
I think I'll go outside and take a walk.
Took my guitar and got up off the floor,
I must have dozed off while you were next door.
Solo:
B7
Verse 4:
B7
My mind's at ease now, I know that you're on my side.
That ice cold daydream, took me for an ugly ride.
Outro:
E7
(Fade)
