Tonart: E major
Verse 1

D
A
Bm
A
I watch the film,
song remains the same
Bm
Like the midnight movies
when I was a kid
A
But I can't know how I'm
all with friends,
Bm
one warm summer weekend.
A
Jimmy paged it all on screen,
D
Bm
and I was mesmerized by everything.
A
Peter Grant, John Paul Jones,
dream sequences,
the mahogany, the double -neckets.
G
Bm
Though I love the sound
G
D
of the roar in this bar
G
D
What spoke to me most
G
D
A
was rain song and brine
D
Bm
and wine
G
Bm
Though I love the roar
G
D
of John Bonham's drums
Bm
D
Even more, I like no quarters,
Bm
A
oh, Fandaro's home
I don't know what happened
or what anyone did
Bm
But from my earliest memories,
I was a melancholic kid
A
When anything close to me hit on,
the world died
Bm
To my heart, forever,
was bumped off his moped
D
Bm
With some kind of a big truck, backhanded
A
Or when the girl who sat in
front of me in remedial
Bm
Was killed in an accident one
weekend
And quickly forgotten about at school
G
D
Bm
And when we got the call
G
D
that my grandma passed
G
D
The nervous tension
G
I'd been feeling
A
Bm
G
and strangely I let it in
Bm
G
Then I went to my bedroom
Bm
D
An d in my tears and in the
heaviness
Bm
A
of everything I drowned
Though I kept to myself
and for the most part was pretty coy
D
Bm
I once got baited into beating up
some undeserving boy
A
Out on the elementary school playground
D
Bm
I threw a punch that caught him off guard
and knocked him down
D
A
But when I walked away
the kids were cheering
D
Bm
An d though I grinned deep
inside I was hurting
A
But not nearly as much as I'd heard him
Bm
He stood up, his glasses were broken,
Bm
G
D
G
I was never a young schoolyard boy
Bm
D
It was only one incident
A
Bm
that has always eaten at me
G
Bm
G
I was never a young school
Bm
D
Bm
Wherever you are, that poor kid,

Verse 2
When I grew older I
learned to play guitar
D
was throwing around a football
the school issued them
D
Bm
Parodying passed down
phrases and cheerleading
A
I got a recording contract in 1992
Bm
and from there my name and my band
A
and my audience grew an d
since that time
so much has happened to me
D
Bm
but I've discovered that
D
I cannot shake melancholy
G
D
for 46 years now
G
D
I cannot break the spell
G
D
I'll probably carry it throughout my life
A
D
Bm
and carry it to hell
G
Bm
G
I'll go to my grave with
D
my melancholy
Bm
D
And my ghost will echo my

Verse 3
And now when I watch the song
remains the same
Bm
the same things speak to me
that spoke to me then
with Peter Grant
and John Bonham
Bm
Are different when I think about
the dust that fell upon them
A
I got a friend who lives in the desert
Bm
And I'm going to visit him this Saturday
and his divorce
D
Bm
Isn't our time not being what it was
It's been 15 years since I last saw him
G
Bm
G
D
He's the man who signed me back in 92
G
Bm
D
And I'm gonna go there to tell him face to face,
A
D
Bm
thank you
D
G
D
For discovering my talent so early
A
D
Bm
For helping me along
D
in this beautiful musical world
Bm
A
I was meant to be guitar
Thank
