SHED SOME SKIN - Slow Gherkin
------------------------------
INTRO:
B F# Abm Ebm E B F# F#
VERSE:
B F#
It's Christmas Day in gay Paris
Abm Ebm
Not so gay for Galen Z.
E B
Sixteen hours in a sweaty kitchen
F#
For money that makes minimum wage look good.
B F#
6 a.m. on the subway
Abm Ebm
Stop station, through the doorway
E B
Crowds of people standing, yelling, screaming
F#
"What's going on? I must be dreaming."
CHORUS:
Abm
And the city forgets
Ebm
They didn't even perceive
Abm
And the trains keep blowing up
C#5 E
week after week.
[REPEAT INTRO]
VERSE:
B F#
Franzel's traveled wide and far
Abm Ebm
Back from the U.S.S.R.
E B
Went there to pursue a lifelong calling
F#
You found only numb toes and helpless longing.
B F#
Now you're back at home today
Abm Ebm
Back in the old USA.
E B
Scoop up handfuls of your native dust
F#
And cross the country in a Greyhound bus.
CHORUS:
Abm
Another failed attempt
Ebm
It's no use trying to pretend
Abm
Now you're right back
C#5 E
where you started again.
[REPEAT INTRO]
BRIDGE:
B G
Abm B F#
I saw what's wrong but I didn't see how
Abm E
I saw, I saw
B F#
We're all grown up now.
VERSE:
B F#
Today's your twentieth birthday
Abm Ebm
Alone you walk the banks of Maine
E B
As time runs out to write the second verse of
F#
The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock.
B F#
While you're gone we'll be here still
Abm Ebm
Just beyond those distant hills
E B
Could be that you got the upper hand
F#
When you left this rustic never-never land.
CHORUS:
Abm
And my breathing constricts
Ebm
I feel the walls closing in
Abm
Could it be that finally we're all
C#5 E
Shedding some skin.
