F G                F G                   
    I lay my head      On the railroad track  
F G                   F G 
    Stare at the sky      All painted up
D                                   G
Your train is gone, won't be comin' back

(CHORUS)
    D   C     G        -     C         A
See the constellation, ride across the sky
G    D      C           A    G      D           C        G
No cigar no lady on his arm, just a guy made of dots and lines
G      D           C        G
Just a guy made of dots and lines


Two years ago, Moved from my town
I was looking up past the city lights
But the city lights got in my way

(CHORUS)

(N.C.):
I found my mind, On the ground below, I was looking up, It was looking back
D                               G
I was in the sky all dressed in black

(CHORUS: Which is extended with...)

G      D           C     -    F
Just a guy made of dots_ and_ lines_

(Some improv here, then play the riff over this)

Can you hear what I see in the sky?

At the end, there's something going on with a G chord.  Some bending and
stuff.  listen to the song and play with it.
