Broken Arrow Lyrics

23rd June 2013
Original recording is slightly sharp of concert pitch.
ch /ch ch /ch
Well, hel - lo, Mr.Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason,
ch /ch
Ya---, ya---, ya---, ya -ya -ya -ya!
ch /ch ch /ch ch /ch
For the thought that I caught that my head is the event of the season, oh!
ch /ch ch /ch
Ya---, ya---, ya---, ya -ya! Why in crowds...
The lights turned on, and the curtain fell down,
And when it was over it felt like a dream,
They stood at the stage door, and begged for a scream,
The agents had paid for the black limou - sine,
That waited outside in the rain!
Did you see them? | /__/ / / / |

Did you see------- them? | /__/ / / / |
||: / /__/ / /__/ | / /__/ / / :||(Twice)
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you!
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Brown - skinned... Indi - an on the banks,
That were crowded and narrow, held a... broken ar - row?
Eighteen years of A - merican dream,
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall,
He hung up his eyelids, and ran down the hall,
His mother had told him a trip was a fall,
And don't mention babies at all!
Did you see him? | /__/ / / / |
aj7
Did you see------- him? | /__/ / / / |
||: / /__/ / /__/ | / /__/ / / :||(Twice)
Did you see him in the river?
He was there to wave to you!
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Brown - skinned... Indi - an on the banks,
That were crowded and narrow, held a... broken ar - row?
The streets were lined for the wedding pa - rade,
The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song,
Her black covered caisson, her horses had drawn,
Pro - tected her King from the sunrays of dawn,
They married for peace, and were gone!
Did you see them? | /__/ / / / |
aj7
Did you see------- them? | /__/ / / / |
||: / /__/ / /__/ | / /__/ / / :||(Twice)
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you!
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Brown - skinned Indi - an on the banks,
That were crowded and narrow, held a... broken ar - row?
