thanks to kevin ricker raja vocative The riff is a decending bass-line, starting with the 3rd fret, 5th string (C), to Bb, to A, to G C G a bird you would've liked brought the sky down, but it was useless to see it without you around. and in the unstoppable camera of my mind's eye, C D i saw you and some foreign guy. C G and i could hear you voice ringing. and i could hear you singing. C D G Em from all the way across the country in palm springs, C D G i can hear you now. your laughter tore through the new jersey night, and i can't stand it, but i'm alright. stood out on the balcony and i took a look around and a bird you would've loved the sight of brought the sky down. and i can hear you voice ringing. and i can hear you singing. from all the way across the country in palm springs, i can hear you now.
