Blow Up Your TV (Spanish Pipe Dream)
John Denver
Album: Aerie
Written: John Prine

I posted this under the popular tilte as recored by John Denver, as this is where
some of us old farts look for it. It's actually titled "Spanis Pipe Dream" and
goes by "Jesus" at times...

G         G                          C
She was a level headed dancer on the road to alchohol
G   D                                         G
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal 
G
Well, she pressed her chest against me, 
D—C       C7                    Csus6
about the time the juke box broke

C-D  D          G-Csus6               D  
She gave me a peck on the back of the neck 
   G-Csus6         D        G   
and these are the words she spoke

G
Blow up your tv, throw away your paper
G         D                       G
Go to the country and build you a home
G                      G-Csus6   
Plant a little garden, eat a lotta peaches
             D              G 
Try and find Jesus, on your own

I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
Cause I knew that topless lady, she had something up her sleeve  
She danced around the room awhile and she did the hoochy coo
And sing a song all night long, telling me what to do

Blow up your TV, throw away your paper
Go to the country and build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lotta peaches
Try and find Jesus, on your own

But I was young and about to leave that place
Just as I was going, she looked me in the face  
I said, "You must know the answer", 
She said "No, but I'll give it a try."
And to this day, we've been living our way, 
here is the reason why

We blew up the TV, threw away the paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lotta children, fed them on peaches
They all found Jesus, on their own (C) =>>(G)
