capo on 1st fret . standard tuning .
tabbed by thomas . drummertomcollins@gmail . com with any questions .
intro : F , A# , F , A# , F , A# , F , A#
F C
if i could look across the country
Dm A#
from california to new jersey
F C
then i would count the parks and lake resorts
Dm A#
and number all the jets and airports
C Dm A# F C
all those rather dreary rain clouds still bother me
Dm A# F
cause i look through the camera eyepiece and cannot see
F C
if i could open up my window
Dm A#
and see from tampa bay to juneau
F C Dm
then i would survey all those open miles
A#
and line them up in single file
C Dm A# F C
everywhere i look i see green scenic sublime
Dm A# F
and all those oceanic vistas are so divine
F , A# , F , A# , F , A# , F , A#
A# F C A#
if i was standing on the balcony
Dm C
and you were walking down below
A# F C A#
i’d feel rather depressed and out of place
Dm C
and lonely just to watch you go
A# F C A#
if you were swinging from the highway overpass
Dm C
within the western hemisphere
A# F C A#
i’d feel rather afraid and insincere
Dm C
if you began to disappear
( solo : repeat chords from first verse )
( repeat chords from “if i was standing on the balcony . . . ” )
if i was walking through a sad art gallery
and you were driving through the night
i’d feel rather alone and i’ll at ease
beneath the brilliant showroom light
if i was flying on a plane above your town
and you were gazing at the sky
somehow i’d feel intact and reassured
if you began to wave goodbye
( play the chords until the end of the song . )
