Spanish Pipe Dream (Blow Up Your TV / Jesus) - Covered by John Denver

written: John Prine

G-Csus6 (Low to high e) 032030

G – Gsus – G

G G C

She was a level headed dancer on the road to alchohol

G D G

And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal

G

Well, she pressed her chest against me,

D—C C7 Csus6

about the time the juke box broke

C-D D G-Csus6 D

She gave me a peck on the back of the neck

G-Csus6 D G

and these are the words she spoke

G

Blow up your tv, throw away your paper

G D G

Go to the country and build you a home

G G-Csus6

Plant a little garden, eat a lotta peaches

D G

Try and find Jesus, on your own

I sat there at the table and I acted real naive

Cause I knew that topless lady, she had something up her sleeve

She danced around the room awhile and she did the hoochy coo

And sing a song all night long, telling me what to do

Blow up your TV, throw away your paper

Go to the country and build you a home

Plant a little garden, eat a lotta peaches

Try and find Jesus, on your own

But I was young and about to leave that place

Just as I was going, she looked me in the face

I said, "You must know the answer",

She said "No, but I'll give it a try."

And to this day, we've been living our way,

here is the reason why

We blew up the TV, threw away the paper

Went to the country, built us a home

Had a lotta children, fed them on peaches

They all found Jesus, on their own (C) =>>(G)
