Michael Lyrics

Intro: G C9 G C9
Michael, where are you now? x2
Somehow in my excitement the last time you called,
It slipped again to ask your hidden whereabouts
I got a lead from your old triple ex-girlfriend,
she said "I heard he lost his mind again"
"Again?" I said, I didn't know that you ever did
Michael, where are you now? x2
Sleeping through the morning in flannel impaired
Getting high in southern air
Shoeless, sandy evenings down the unfamiliar
Last whiff of salt-water freedom
Skipping shells in the dead zone
With the ghost on your side
Of the state borderline, whispering
"Take it, take it, take it, take it
G C9 D* (just bass C F# G?)
Take it ...
(guitar rhythm is more flowing here)
(tacit) G C9
Do you remember our first subway ride?
Our first heavy metal haircuts?
Our last swim on the east coast?
And me with my ridiculous looking pierced nose?
I remember your warm smile in the sun
The daydreaming boy without a shirt on
The Birmingham barfly father left the mother
of three sons. You're the oldest juvenile delinquent bum
(tacit 8 beats)
G C9 (repeat 8 times total)
My best friend
