Scorpio Rising Lyrics and Chords
Intro: (Drums)
Cm-Ab-G-; (2x)

Cm Ab G Cm Ab G
I’m old enough to know that my stars just won’t let go
Cm Ab G Cm Ab G
At this day and age I can see that the world was meant for me
Cm Ab G Cm Ab G
Some people laugh at what you’re doing, they hold you in the sand
Cm Ab G Cm-Ab-G
I’m having a hard time adjusting to these changes

Ref:
F G
I can see that your lips are moving
Cm Ab
But I can’t hear what you’re saying
F G F G
Is it yes or is it no? Is it stop, or is it go?
F G F G
Is it suck or is it throw? Or is it me or am I just too slow?

Interlude: (do ICP, 4x)

(Do stanza chords)
I’m young enough to think that the world looks good in pink
But as far as I can see that ain’t enough for me
Some people hear what you’re doing, they pull you by the strings
I’m having troubles taking things day by day

Ref 2:
Ab Bb
When I see you I see red and green
Gm Cm
You’re like the biggest tree I’ve ever seen
Ab Bb
But it cuts you down, oh down to size
Ab Bb G
The apple of my eyes is rotting on the ground

Interlude: (Do ICP 8x)

Ref 3:
F G
I see the future burning in their eyes
Cm Ab
but I don’t care what it’s saying
F G F G
Is it high or is it low, is it hide or is it show
F G F G
Is it shrink or is it grow, is it the twister, a he he he hey

Interlude: (Do ICP 4x)

Bridge:
Cm (Pause) G (Pause)
I wrote this song while I was eating beans
Cm (Pause) G (Pause)
Now don’t you try to ask me what that means?
Cm (Pause) G (Pause)
It’s just like asking me to tell you my dreams
Cm (Pause) G
I would have told you long ago

Ab Bb
But now it seems you’re far away
Ab Bb G
Here comes a loony bin, come to take me away
Ab G
You put a scar in my twisted face
Ab G
In the yearbook I look out of place
Ab G
I see my letter burning in your hand
Ab Bb G Cm-Ab-G
It took me 25 years just to understand

Coda:
(Do ICP)
Blue is the color of my skin
Blue is the color of my skin
(Drums)
Blue is the color of my…
Woh!

Cm-Ab-G-; (5x)
