(Paul Kantner)

Intro: Gm7 Fm7 [see Notes for tuning/fingering]

/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Verse 1:

Gm7 [verse 1: hold 2 extra beats]

I didn't know you were the one for me, I couldn't see

Fm7

But you were waiting for

Gm7

Someone to come along and help you out to sing your song

Fm7

And I was changing

Chorus:

Ebm7 Fm7

All I see is you

Ebm7 Fm7 Gm7 [1: Dm7, to post-chorus; 2: D, to bridge]

All I feel is you for me

Post-chorus:

Cm7 Dm7

And I would really like to watch you ride

Cm7 Dm7

And always feel you by my side

Cm7 Dm7

I would really like to watch you ride

Ebm7

All on me

Verse 2:

Now I go stumblin' to the sky and I seem to fly so high

I see you, I feel you

You have a way of walkin' 'round, your feet they never touch the ground

And you are shining

[repeat chorus; to bridge]

Bridge:

[8-bar bass solo over D]

D

Times don't change

Times don't ever change for me and I know

That you could be

The only thing in my world

The only thing that my mind could find for love

Love and peace of mind for me

For me...

Gm7 Fm7

Oh, oh, oh...

Verse 3:

Your shadow in the morning sun becomes my fun and we can say

I love you, I love you

Now morning shines on silver beaches, your life flashes through the

reaches

Of my mind, of my mind

Coda:

Gm7

Of my mind

Cm7 Dm7

And my mind becomes alive with you

Cm7 Dm7

It's all that I can do

Cm7 Dm7

To sit here and let you blow my mind

Cm7 Dm7

Blow my mind, you're so fine

Cm7 Dm7

In my mind, you're so fine

Cm7 Dm7

[Paul:] In my mind, you're so fine

[Grace:] (...fine) In my mind, you're so fine

Cm7 Dm7

[Paul:] In my mind, in my mind

[Grace:] In my mind, you're so fine

Cm7 Dm7

[Paul:] You're so fine

[Grace:] In my mind

Notes:

The chords may sound like 7#9s, but there's definitely no major

third in them. They're actually minor 7ths voiced with the 7th

and 3rd on top, with the low E tuned down to D to allow the root

to be played on the lowest string without an otherwise-impossible

finger reach:

Gm7 555766 Fm7 333544 Ebm7 111322

Cm7 111111 Dm7 111111
