The Elderly

"Gravity"

Music 3/4 time

verse = C to G with a passing note on Bflat (Gm)

chorus = F G C, 3 beats each then start over in 3's

[Elder D]
I've been lifted up
Taken off my feet
I didn't know it was meant to be
I've enjoyed a life
Only patially pure
Now I ride 'round town like Rayman Burr

[chorus]
I'm Elder D as you can see
I believe in noise and screams
With limited debris
On the fat sidewalk is where I roll my tree
In the city where I live
The sewer meets the sea
I beleive in Shave and The Society
When we get it all together
We're The Elderly
We do nitrous amyl nitrate
Smoke that endo weed
Turn off the radio
Its only greed
I beleive that in my music
I am truly free
Sex with you and sometimes food
Is all I really need
[Shea solo 4x]

[verse]
And I hang with Jolly Walker
'Cause he's submitted too
The fall of gravity just like me
[Elder solo out 8x]
