wake up
F  F           F  F        C  C           C  C

     F  F                 F  F                 Am  Am            C C

Bm                                     Bm      Am       Am
On the way, always had a smile and a reason to pretend

That their world, was flat back brown, too little, need to sleep but to dream
                Em            Em
The sidewinder sleeps on his back
