	Gm
	First time

It's not the first time

Last time

No, I know I seen your place before

Maybe in a past life

Or maybe it was just last night

I don't know

Verse 2:

Birtha never sang too well

But her stereo shook glass

Leather gripped our bodies

As her toes curled around the gas

Shaking loose out of Kansas

First twenty minutes in black-and-white

Birtha, Rebirtha, talk to me, take to me

Ease these troubled times

Verse 3:

Won't ever talk too much

She had those television eyes

My gaze never strayed too much

Too much past those eyes

She said, "I know a town where real life's a game

Baseball's all that's real

At night all the faces light up

As the players take the field"

(Chorus)

(Jam over the verse chords for 12 measures)

Bridge:

The rhythm hear can be really difficult to handle unless you

pay very close attention. I've written out the tab below in

15/8 time, but it's probably more like alternating measures

of 4/4 and 7/8 for each measure tabbed out below. Either

way is basically the same thing. Notice there's 8 beats for

the G and Dm chords, and only 7 beats for each Bb chord.

The chords should be correct, but they may not be in the

right position.

(Jam over the chorus for 12 measures and play the chorus

melody line for the last 8).

(Verse 1)

(Verse 3)

(Chorus)

The final jam begins with alternating measures of G and Bb.

Eventually, the jam drops into the same chords as the bridge

section above, but in 4/4 this time.
