I lay my head_

           
  On the railr

            
oad track_  St

             
are at the sky

   
_  All painted

 up_
             
Your train is 

              
gone, won't be

        
 comin' back

(CHORUS)
            
See the conste

        -    
llation, ride 

          
across the sky
           
No cigar no la

             
dy on his arm,

            
 just a guy ma

             
de of dots and

 
 lines
            
Just a guy mad

             
e of dots and 


lines


Two years ago_  Moved from my town_  I was looking up_  Past the city lights_
But the city lights got in my way

(CHORUS)

(For this verse, there is no guitar, the base is playing F and G in the same
rythm as the chords in the other verses)
I found my mind_ On the ground below_ I was looking up_ It was looking back_
I was in the sky all dressed in black

(CHORUS:Which is extended with...)

            
Just a guy mad

          -  
e of dots_ and

  
_ lines_

(Some improv here, then play the riff over this)

Can you hear what I see in the sky?

At the end, there's something going on with a G chord.  Some bending and
stuff.  listen to the song and play with it.
