Back to Fork
That Face
2002 Portland, OR
F major scale to D (4X)
F G D (4X) - heavy like Cobain)
F G D
She came breezin' on throgh that door
F G D
I knew I'd seen that face before
F G D
Her hair was lily white
G F D
and it was bouncin' right off the light
(4 more F-G-D)
I knew her when I was in school
Or from a dark room shootin' pool
A summer night in the rain
From Germany on the train
FGD
She took her place up on the stage
She was a woman who had no age
She went with my best friend to the prom
Or a video on CD-Rom
FGD
She grabbed a cup and kicked off her shoes
She was the lady from the evening news
Or a story from a book I wrote
Or a scale with a missing note
FGD
Her friend came into the room
She was the bride and I was the groom
Just a passing fancy on the street
Or a night full of passion and heat
FGD
She was a warrior in 1502
Or the woman who gave me the flu
She cleans the toilets at the mall
She was the bell of the New Year's Eve Ball
FGD
She was a singer in a rock and roll band
A stranger with a helping hand
The doctor who stitched my arm
A sales woman with some charm
FGD
She glanced and she caught my eye
She stopped there but she didn't know why
The room began to disappear
We didn't talk but we both could hear
FGD
Then she went breezin' on out that door
I knew I'd seen that face before
Her hair was lily white
And she went bouncin' right out of my life
FGD 4x to end.
