                            "Tapioca Tundra"
                           (Michael Nesmith)

Intro (slow):

	        +            
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 1:

	                     + [1,5: +/]
	Reasoned verse, some prose or rhymes
	                
	Lose themselves in other times
	                      
	And waiting hopes cast silent spells
	                     
	That speak in crowded clues
	              
	It cannot be a part of me
	                    
	For now it's part of you

Verse 2:

	Careful plays on fields that seem to
	Vanish when they're in between
	And softly as I walk away
	In freshly tattered shoes
	It cannot be a part of me
	For now it's part of you

Bridge:

	           
	[2: Well] Sunshine, ragtime
	 
	Blowing in the breeze
	 
	Midnight, looks right
	                +
	Standing more at ease

Verse 3:

	Silhouettes and figures stay
	Close to what we had to say
	And one more time a faded dream
	Is saddened by the news
	It cannot be a part of me
	For now it's part of you
