I put in almost no single note riffs because 1) I’m typing this from memory and 2) I only have one tape of this song (Boston Music Hall ’76 I think). My attempt to construct the opening base line from memory is sporadic at best - people who know better are urged to speak up. Also anyone feel free to offer chord alternatives. The A(c# bass) certain about the bass there (when I play it A sounds best). For anyone who missed my Built to Last posting hyphens and elipses are for syntactic clarity and have no musical meaning. - - I turn and walk away then I come around again. It looks as though tomorrow I’ll do pretty much the same. I must turn down your offer but I’d like to ask a break You know I’m ready to give everything for anything I take - - .... (bass: -#--#--lower ) ... -... Someone called my name you know I turned around to see It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me. Come again walking along in the Mission in the rain Come again walking along in the Mission in the rain. Ten years ago I walked this street my dreams were riding tall. Tonight I would be thankful Lord for any dream at all. Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true But anything you gather is just more that you can lose Come again... (chorus repeat) All the things I planned to do I only did halfway Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday There’s some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same Come again... (chorus repeat keep repeating) - - - - (oooh...) I have chords for Picasso Moon but not all the riffs yet. If even one single person writes and asks me to post them I will. Does anyone have authoritative words for that song? I have a strange copy with "Oooh we’re just dancin’..." all over it. ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul Anderson Reed College Portland OR tektronic!ogccse!reed!pha
