Basement Tapes

| A | E | A | E | A | E | B | B || A E A E So we get loaded in the van and drive through the suburbs A E B B and we set out on highway thirty-five to discover. A E A E What's the plan, sliding through the dark in all kinds of weather? A E B B Where's the map? One of us is barely holding it together. E B F#m C#m I've still got all your basement tapes, I'm still hearing you drift away, A E/G# B B sing those things that you just don't say, right to your brother. E B F#m C#m Hide your head in the evergreen, ply your heavenly alchemy, A E/G# B B still just living the Big Star dream, live with each other. E | E | E | E || A E A E So we tool down to Kansas City to sleep on a sofa A E B B and we're cool, temporarily cos we're from Minnesota. A E A E Later on walking in the dark with a sweet babysitter A E B B on the lawn, talking while inside you made out with her sister. E B F#m C#m I've still got all your basement tapes, I'm still hearing you drift away, A E/G# B B sing those things that you just don't say, right to your brother. E B F#m C#m Hide your head in the evergreen, ply your heavenly alchemy, A E/G# B B still just living the Big Star dream, live with each other. F#m B C#m F# B B Summer diamonds rushing by us. Wake me up when we get there. E | B | F#m | C#m | A | E/G# | B | B || End-Chorus E B F#m C#m I'm still cranking your basement tapes, I'm still hearing you drift away, A E/G# B B sing those things that you just don't say, right to your brother. E B F#m C#m Hide your head in the evergreen, ply your heavenly alchemy, A E/G# B B still just living the Big Star dream, live with each other. E | E | E | E | E | E | E ||
