Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Am G
I'm broke and I'm hungry hard up and I'm lonely
Am G F
I've been dancing on this killing floor for years
Am G
Of the few things I am certain the captain of my burden
Am G F
I'm sorry doll I could never stop the rain

Interlude -
Am - G - Am - G - F (x2)

Verse 1-
Am G
Once you said I was your hero you would dance with me on a dime
Am G
We could spin this world right right right round
F
And catch back up on the flip side
Am
I was gonna get this real big engine
G
I was gonna get them Broadway Stars
Am G
You were gonna be my Judy Garland
F
We were gonna share your Tin Man heart

Chorus -
C G Am
There's a dirty wind blowin' there's a storm front comin' in
F
There's an S O S on the seas tonight
C G Am
Steady now Steady now soldier hold fast now
F G Am G Am
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

Interlude -
Am - G - Am - G - F

Verse 2 -
Am G
We used to drive all night all over town
Am G F
We'd go waltzing Matilda when Matilda came around

And I'd sing them blues to you

Chorus -
C G Am
There's a dirty wind blowin' there's a storm front comin' in
F
There's an S O S on the seas tonight
C G Am
Steady now Steady now soldier hold fast now
F G Am G Am
It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

Interlude -

Chorus -

There's a dirty wind blowin' there's a storm front comin' in

It's heads or tails and heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

And heart attacks and broken dreams
F G C G Am
Atlantis is my only dream tonight
