Notes For A Book On Buster Keaton

Em

[Verse]
   Em                           D
We sat in an auditorium painted hospital green,
          Am7                  Em           Am7 Em
watched a woman rip the lining right out of the screen.
      Em                                 D
I was nervous, nervous as hell, you were nervously scribbling
Am7                        Em      Am7 Em

[Chorus]
             G                Em            C  Em   Am G    Em   Am7 Em
You were the hare, you didn't care, for the tortise at your back

[Verse]
            Em                  D
You had his hat size down, with circles over your eyes
    Am7                 Em           Am7 Em
you wrote diagonally instaed of side to side.
            Em                    D
she said in Egypt the Nile runs unusually high,
         Am7                          Em               Am7 Em
like the heater in Michigan, like the shadow in his eyes

[Chorus]
             G                Em            C  Em   Am G    Em   Am7 Em
You were the hare, you didn't care, for the tortise at your back

[Verse]
       Em
Well I walked passed you while you were sleeping
  D
I walked while you were dreaming of winning
  Am7                                         Em   Am7 Em
I walked while you were dreaming of running fast.
      Em
Yeah I walked passed you while you were sleeping
  D
I walked while you were dreaming of winning
  Am7                                        Em    Am7 Em
I walked while you were dreaming of running fast.

You were the hare, you didn't care, for the tortise at your back
