.. ?? ... the wall at Teneriff
C G
I picked a cactus flower there
F C
I met a girl with burgundy lips
G C D
And more trouble than you could bare
G C D G C D
And if it's raining, or if it's dry
G C D G
You don't hear it on the wire
C D G
Honey you hear it in the air
G Csus2 F Csus2 x2
I thought I had a pocket full of chance
She said "Don't pull that thing on me"
She pulled a finger and took the light from in her eye
You've never seen a hollow stare
And if it's over, if your mouth feels dry
You don't here it on the wire
Honey you hear it in the air
G Csus2 F Csus2 x2
Am Em Am Em C
Can I get a witness, to help me through the day
C Am C Am D
And if it's raining, or if it's dry
You don't here it on the wire
Honey you hear it in the air
