(De basnoten worden meestal door de contrabass gespeeld, maar ik heb ze 
er voor het gemak maar bijgezet)

           E
I've got a ticket, 
            B
To the fast city, 
          C#m7               B
Where the bells don't really ring, 
        E
Getting off the plane the cold air, 
B           G#m7*              C#m7    F#
Rushes like bullets through my brain, 

          E             G#m7
And I'm divided between penguins and cats, 
         E              B      G#m7*  C#m7   F#
But it's not about what animal you’ve got, 
      Eadd9              G#m7
It's about being able to fly,
      Eadd9           B  G#m7* C#m7    
It's about dying nine times, 
Eadd9  B
Aaaaaaaah
Eadd9  B
Aaaaaaaah

Walked on Broadway, 
Going up to falls, 
With the old man I used to know, 
The paintings on the walls of release, 
Are colourful but they are no Matisse, 

And I'm divided between penguins and cats, 
But it's not about what animal you've got, 
It's about being able to fly, 
It's about dying nine times, 
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah

It's about being able to fly, 
It's about dying nine times, 
Aaaaaaaah
Aaaaaaaah

How to practise this song

1
Practise the barre chord B
B is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
