* Genie on a table top * (Al Stewart)

Intro

D A G (Repeat a few times)

D                         A
I went floating down the street one day
        G                  D    A
With a song playing in my mind
D                          A
Hopping and bopping like a ricochet
     G                F#
Bad news was hard to find
             G       A(A7) D
There was a hint of syncopation
                G         A(A7)    D
Coming from the sidewalk and the street
             G        A(A7) Bm
There was a glint of scintillation
             G             A
Hanging over everyone you'd meet

Chorus

        D             Bm
And it makes me feel okay
        D                        A                        Bm
Like a big yellow tractor going mowing through a field of hay
G       D                    A                           D    C G D C G
Like a genie on a tabletop surfing through the month of May


Bridge

F                                Bb
Oh she loves me and she loves me better
           A          D
Than I've ever loved myself
F                             Bb
She knows me and she loves me better
       A           D     A  
Now I want nobody else


Ending

Same as chorus, up to...

G       D                 A                    Bm
Like a pig with a bucket full of truffles in a French cafe

....

The next few lines beginning with "Like.." are on the same model,
until..

G       D                    A                            D   C  G D C G
Like a genie on a table top surfing through the month of May
