verse 1 
        G                          F 
If it please the court I've had a lot to say 
          C                  G 
And it's not always been true 
  G                        F 
Standing here before you, judge 
        C                     G 
I make my pledge of truth to you 


verse 2 
     G                   F 
The waves came over the bowsprit 
            C                           G 
The decks awash with running green and foam 
 G                             F  
Back there at the wheel I was terrified 
      C                   G 
Next day we first saw home 


verse 3 
    G                          F 
My relatives came over on the Mayflower 
 C                        G 
Landed on the shore almost alone 
 G                      F 
No that damn traffic today is terrible 
           C                         G 
And everywhere I look I see people alone 


verse 4 
  G                           F 
Alone with their heads looking in their hands 
 C                        G 
Lost in the conversation stare 
 G                              F 
Walking with their eyes looking at the screen 
       C                           G 
Talking like they were really there 


Instrumental 
G  F  C  G  


Verse 5 
     G                         F 
I'm lost in this new generation 
           C           G 
Left me behind it seems 
 G                               F 
Listening to the shadow of Jimi Hendrix 
         C                     G 
"Purple Haze", sounding like TV 


Verse 6 
    G                        F  
I stepped on someone's hand laying on the street 
 C                       G 
Both asleep and dead it may seem 
    G                             F 
He didn't even move there on the sidewalk 
    C                           G 
I stood there staring in a dream 


Verse 7 
     G                    F 
She came along in her uniform 
       C                            G   
Stood moving me away with a gentle hand 
  G                             F 
Dressed in white like a nightingale 
               C                        G 
Her name was Florence, Florence of the Land 
     G                F         C  G 
(I knew I'd seen her somewhere) 


Verse 8 
    G                        F 
I knew I'd seen her somewhere 
             C                G 
But she was busy with him gone 
     G                                F 
She came with three different brothers 
C                       G 
Abraham, Martin and John 


Verse 9 
   G                          F 
I heard a song about that once 
                   C          G 
And I never knew what it meant 
        G                        F 
Three stars died in a plane one night 
          C                             G     
Rock and Roll, the message that was sent 


verse 10 
   G                           F 
I couldn't wrap my head around it 
                     C    G 
Didn't know what it meant 
  G                        F    
Standing there on that sandy beach 
 C                        G 
Watching it turn to cement 


verse 11 
 G                       F 
Now I don't see all the colors 
             C                       G 
And I might miss some of their beauty 
       G                F  
But I do see what I see 
       C                G 
And I want to do my duty 


verse 12 
   G                         F 
Enlisted in the Navy at the corner store 
      C                    G 
They had a recruiting booth 
   G                    F 
I covered my heart and raised my hand 
      C                   G  
And swore it was the truth 


Outro 
G                F  C  G 
 That's my pledge 
             G   F 
 That's my pledge 
C                       G 
 That's my pledge, judge 
G  F  C  
G 
 That's my pledge 
G  F  C  G
