Sharon chords by Marisa Yeaman
Verse 1
G
She came down the hippie highway
at the end of 69
C
Looking for the keys to open up
G
all the doors of her mind
Time used to be so easy,
the birds drifted from the stereo
C
And they would hang out
by the boardwalk,
G
C
G
C
G
getting high and laying low
Now Sharon's in the diner, it's 2009,
C
she wonders what happened to the 40 years
G
that disappeared while she was having a good time
Got her own place at the counter,
waitress knows her by name
C
She keeps the permanent
eye as the years go
G
C
G
But each day he starts to look the same
F
So Sharon's still marching on Congress
G
And growing her hair
She's swimming against the system
C
G

G
Does anybody see her there?
D

Now everybody's moved on
D
Her college friends have all gone
G
Some work out on Wall Street
And some they sell the bombs
Asus4
Some moved down to Carmel
D
Asus4
Got rich and did the big sell
G
Well, I guess Sharon, she dropped out
C
G
and never dropped back in Pink's
and Patton's on the formica,
Gsus4
Cm
Flamingo's on the wall
G
Gsus4
There's a neon sign of
G
the passing time
Cm
G
and the radio's playing the dolls
Gsus4
Sharon's eyes, they light up,
Cm
G
just like she's been reborn
Gsus4
She turns to the stranger
beside her
G
Cm
and says, Hear them,
G
C
G
C
G
they're playing the horns
F
Once Sharon was marching on Congress,
G
growing her hair,
F
G
Swimming against the system,
C
G
C
G
C
G
does anybody see her there?
Now she's back chattin'
D
the waitresses
She's talkin' trash
G
to strangers in her trailer
She watches TV from
her recliner all night long
D
Her heart is rich but the world is poor
So much violence and new wars
Dsus4
G
Peace doves and free love,
C
G
that's what she's living for
F
So Sharon's still marching on Congress
G
and growing her hair

She came down the hippie highway
At the end of 69

Looking for the keys to open up

All the doors of her mind
Time used to be so easy
The birds drifted from the stereo
C
and they would hang out
by the boardwalk
G
C
Gettin' high and layin' low
G
