C6                         Cm6                                 
I dreamt about a tranquil sunday drive,  
          D5/C     Cm6          
A sensory lullaby 
C6                                Cm6                                     
We trade the comics, cartoons and magazines, 
                D5/C     Cm6                                      
For pistons and gasoline 
C6                                Cm6                                                                          
We see the road from the bedside, parked under the sunshine,  
                          D5/C     Cm6                             G 
We feel the warmth of the engine so we climb inside and take it to the motorway 


D                     D/C#               C    G 
Watch the clouds turn into faces, it's fun to play 
D                   D/C#            C      G 
Shift the gears for years and age a single day 
Bb                  C6 
Until we spill onto russian hill

Past cathedrals filled with god's favourite guests, 
                 D5/C                  Cm6   
Dirty hands feel clean when dressed in their sunday best 
C6                       Cm6                                     
Treeline village, oh, so heavenly, 
        D5/C              Cm6                                              G                 
Cross a bridge of gold to landscapes of juniper, only eden is for millionaires 

D                     D/C#               C    G 
Watch the clouds turn into faces, it's fun to play 
D                   D/C#            C      G 
Shift the gears for years and age a single day

Until we spill onto russian hill

I'm pulling through the last stoplight we head home past the shoreline, 
D5/C                             Cm6                          G 
And through the rear view mirror it all melts away 'til we're helpless 


D                     D/C#               C    G 
Watch the clouds turn into faces, it's fun to play 
D                   D/C#            C      G 
Shift the gears for years and age a single day 
D                 D/C#        C        G 
For like curtains close this sunset matinee 
Bb                   C6 
A dream fulfilled on russian hill
