Sinatra and I James Keelaghan
INTRO: C F C G C F C F G
I [C]have to ad[G]mit there's a [Am]strange tale be[C]tween us
A [F]twisted road winding be[C]tween you and [G]I
I [C]was living in a [G]garret on the [Am]edges of [C]Staten
I was [F]lying in bed, looking [C]out at the [G]night
Grey sky exploded, [F]fire rained [C]down
Some refinery in Jersey had burned to the [G]ground
Call me superstitious, I [F]called it a [C]sign
I packed up the van, headed out for the [G]Line
I [C]wandered for [G]months, it was [Am]gorgeous but [C]somehow
I [F]didn't know what I was [C]trying to [G]find
The [C]last days of [G]summer found me [Am]crossing the [C]border
I was [F]feeling quite lonely, quite [C]out of my [G]mind
I stopped in Regina, my [F]spirits were [C]low
If I didn't do something, I was bound to ex[G]plode
If I was gonna keep travelling, I [F]needed a [C]date
Pulled the van to a stop at the SPC[G]A
INTERLUDE: C F G C F G C
BRIDGE:
[Am]There he sat curled up, [F]back in the [C]corner
Face like a bandit, and icy blue [G]eyes
He [Am]opened the gate and [F]casually [C]strolled
Out of the kennel, and into my [G]life
So it [C]was, that Si[G]natra and [Am]I went a-[C]roving
Yeah, [F]that's what I called him, be[C]cause of his [G]eyes
[C]Turns out as [G]well, he's a [Am]pretty good [C]singer
Though he [F]tends more to blues than to [C]Strangers at [G]Night
Old Blue Eyes beside me we [F]kept heading [C]North
Near Whitehorse the van finally gave up the g[G]host
Got a job at a cafe where Si[F]natra begged [C]scr*ps
Saving our money for spark plugs and [G]maps
INTERLUDE: C F G C F G
Ohhh ohh ohh ohh
[C]Some nights [G]we'd both [Am]got cabin [C]fever
We'd [F]go for a walk old Si[C]natra and [G]I
His [C]nose in the [G]ground, sniffing [Am]out possi[C]bilities
[F]We're looking out through the [C]dome of the [G]sky
I ask him to sit, he [F]pays me no [C]mind
He'll do it his way and I'll do it [G]mine
That's why I liked him, [F]once more that's [C]why

I think there's a future for Sinatra and I____
