 Maybe she's Fjust looking for

GSomeone to A♯dance with

My secrets she will never know

And if I dig a hole to China

I'll catch the first junk to Soho

(Chorus)

A♯Sometime from now you'll bDmow to pressure

CSome things in life you cannot Ammeasure by degrees

A♯I'm between the poles and Dmthe equator

E'less he speaks Chinese

AmAnd can dance Am/Glike Astaire overseas

C7MOkay?

(Bridge - chords are the same as the Chorus.)

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

This is how I hack it out, anyway. (I think this is right... did it mostly

from memory without having my guitar here.) It's probably a little

simplified. One note: Penn plays all of his F's as barre chords in the

first position (113211) to get a richer sound, but it sounds OK if you

don't.

Someone recently requested this, so here's my version:

Notes:

** I think one of the chords in the chorus is Dm played

at the fifth fret (557765).

*** I think MP says "on hashish" instead of "overseas"

C Am C Am C Am C Am

CSo, Am C Amshe says it's Ftime she Ggoes
