  It was Christmas in the Rockies, just like summer with no snow 
Dm                   G                Cmaj7                    F 
  Crimson Pirate was showing at the movies, new one you should see 
Dm                 G                           C             F 
  Water shone like diamonds and the ships kept rowing on the sea 
Dm                  G            Cmaj7            F 
  The answer to our questions is lingering in the mist 
Dm                     G    Cmaj7                 F 
  And the revolution's come like a fighter with a fist

  The sun's sure hot today in Canada, wherever people go 
Dm                       G7               C             F 
  They're looking at the sky like they're waiting for a change 
Dm                        G7                C           F 
  The clouds that used to pour the rain are billowy and strange 
Dm                       G             C              F 
  Yeah, that's the way I see it, and I wanted just to say 
Dm                    G              C                 F 
  People like you and me are feeling   different every day

  President was on TV, says everything is golden

  He's tearing down the old White House, those days were never olden 
Dm                        G             C                   F

Dm                     G             C                F 
  'Cause everything is different now   just like a TV show 
Dm                   G            C                   F 
  We have to take it as it comes, as some are like to say 
Dm                     G            C                         F

  I wanted to say something   before I go away 
Dm                   G7            Cmaj7           F 
  I went to town the other day and saw what it's become 
Dm                   G               C           F 
  The houses are all going down with hotels all around 
Dm                         G                C                F 
  People are driving their new cars and the kids are leaving town 
Dm            G                  C                F 
  Shopping is everywhere and the club is shutting down

  If I'm not here to see it, it doesn't mean it's gone away 
Dm                      G             C              F 
  Im trying to make it simple, but I tell you, it's not 
Dm                          G           C                      F 
  'Cause here and there and everywhere,   the truth is getting caught 
Dm                     G           C             F 
  And disguised like a celebration waiting for a song 
Dm                     G             C                 F 
  But no one knows the melody and it feels like it was strong 
Dm                 G                C              F 
  When we all sang together and the children sang along

  Yes, soon I will be going, but I wanted just to stay around 
C                       Am 
  And see what I can do   to sing a happy song today 
Dm              G                 C                   F 
  With you, and you, and everyone   who feels the melody 
Dm             G             C            F 
Echoing in the hallways, and soon to be a dream

  Come back to me, my lovely girl,   your memory is mine 
C                                          Am 
  I'm walking down the old street where we   once had the time 
Dm                        G                      C             F 
  I gotta tell you what I see 'cause I might be alone, the sky is turning 
Dm              G                            C                 F 
  To yesterday; the old church bells tolled,   soon I might be going 
Dm                    G      C                   F 
  And I wanted to say hello,   there's a mystery around us 
Dm                      G 
  And the answer no one knows
