Big Dipper

	  		Intro Am  C  F  G 

 
Verse 1:
Am                 C 
The cigarettes and carrot juice 
    F              G 
Get yourself a new tattoo 
Am        C                  F    G 
For those sleeveless days of June 
Am                     C               
I'm sitting on the Cafe Zinho's steps 
F                     G 
With a book I haven't started yet 
Am               C             F  G 
Watching all the girls walk by 



G                F 
Could I take you out? 
F                      Dm    C           G 
I'd be yours without a doubt on that big dipper 
G                                 F 
If the sound of this it frightens you 
F                     Dm   C                G 
We could play it real cool and act somewhat indifferent 

 
Verse 2:

Am            C 
And hey June, why'd you have to come 
F                             G 
Why'd you have to come around so soon? 
Am             C            F      G 
I wasn't ready for all this nature 
Am           C                 F 
The terrible green green grass and violent blooms 
   G 
Of flowered dresses 
Am             C                   F  G 
And afternoons that make me sleepy 



G                 F 
But we could wait a while 
 F                      Dm        C        G 
'Fore we push that dull turnstile into the passage 
G                   F 
Thousands they have tread 
F                    Dm   C               G 
And others sometimes fled before the turn came 

G                 F 
We could wait our lives 
F               Dm       C          G 
Before a chance arrives, before the passage 
G                        F 
From the top you can see Monterey 
F                  Dm   C 
Or think about San Jose though 
                     G 
I know it's not that pleasant 

Verse 3:

Am          C        F              G 
And hey Jim Kerouac, brother of the famous Jack 
Am                C      F             G 
Or so he likes to say... Lucky bastard 
Am                  C                   
He's sitting on the Cafe Zinho's steps 
F           G 
With a girl I'm not over yet 
Am               C           F  G 
Watching all the world go by 



G                   F 
Boy, you're looking bad 
F                        Dm   C            G 
Did I make you feel that sad? I'm honestly flattered 
G                   F 
But if she asked me out 
F                     Dm    C           G 
I'd be hers without a doubt on that big dipper 


Verse 4:

Am                 C                 F              G 
The cigarettes and carrot juice. Get yourself a new tattoo 
Am        C                  F          G 
For those sleeveless days of June 
Am                 C                    
I'm sitting on the Cafe Zinho's steps 
F                 G 
I haven't got the courage yet 
Am                G 
I haven't got the courage yet
