Tab By: Barry O'Brien
Capo: 5th Fret
I am the [C]fountain of af[G]fection
I'm the [C]instrument of [Em]joy
to [C]keep the good time [G]rolling
I'm the [C]boy, I'm the [D]boy
You know the [C]world could be our [G]oyster
If you [C]put your trust in [Em]me
We'll [C]keep the good times [G]rolling
Wait and [C]see, wait and [D]see
Wait and [Em]see
There's exaltations, [D]sweet disintegrations
A [C]few discolorations then it [D]comes along
[Em]Up is why he chooses, the [D]kisses and the bruises
There ain't [C]nothing he refuses then it [Em]comes along
It comes a[C]long and I am [G]lifted
It comes a[C]long and I am [G]lifted
I am [C]lifted, I am [D]lifted
CHORUS:
When I'm [C]up I can't get [G]down
Can't get [C]down can't get [D]level
When I'm [C]Up I can't get [G]down
Get my [C]feet back on the [D]ground
CHORUS (x2)
He just [Em]needs something to bind him, [D]something to wind him up
It [C]won't take long to find him when it [D]comes on strong
[Em]Black skies a grinning, [D]street lights are spinning
The [C]night is just beginning, when it [Em]comes on strong
It comes on [C]strong, and I am [D]lifted
It comes on [C]strong, and I am [D]lifted
I am [C]lifted, I am [D]lifted
CHORUS (x2)
Oh it comes on [C]strong, and I am [G]lifted
It comes on [C]strong, and I am [G]lifted
I am [C]lifted, I am [D]lifted!
CHORUS (x2)
Oh I can't get down,
Oh Oh Ohhhhhhhh
I can't get down
