Song : Spanish Pipedream (Mod.)

            G                         C
She was a level headed dancer on the road to alcohol
    D7                         D6noA/D+/D6noA
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
G                                                C
Well she pressed her chest against me about the time the juke box broke
           D7 
Yeah, she give me a peck on the back of my neck and these are the words
      G
she spoke

(CHORUS)
              G                                        D7
Blow up your T.V., throw away your paper, go to the country 
             G
build you a home, plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
               D7           G      Am7/D       G
Try and find Jesus on your own

        G                            C
Well I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
        D7                         D6noA       D+
For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
                                             C
Well she danced around the bar room and she did the hootchy coo
            D7                                             G
Yeah, she sang her song all night long telling me what to do (chorus)

 G                                C                               
Well I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
       D7                            D6noA        D+    G  
When just as I was leaving well she looked me in the face
                                             C
I said “you must know the answer” she said “no but I’ll give it a try”
        D7                                                      G
And to this very day we been living our way here is the reason why 

                G                                         D7
We blew up our T.V., threw away our paper, went to the country
             G
built us a home. Had a lot of children fed them on peaches
                 D7            G      D7  G C/D  G
They all found Jesus on their own
