EAB
I know you see mars in the sky tonight
EAB
and I know you can see venus rising and veering off to the right.
E
can you see that young star ahead?
AB
it's the one that designed my undoing.
EAB
I know that in california the waves break on the beach.
EA
and I know that the foam on the breaking waves
B
is as white as household bleach.
E
but if you could see that particular white right now
AB
it's the color of the young star coming on down.
E
I've got joy joy joy in my soul tonight
ABE
I've got joy joy joy in my arms alright. alright.
A
although you treat me badly,
B
I love you madly.
EAB
you really got a hold on me.
EAB
you really got a hold on me.
E
All right.
