Big Ideas

[Intro]
Am G6 Edim/G Fmaj7 Dm/F
Dm7

[Verse 1]
Am               G6 Edim/G   Fmaj7 Dm/F
  That's quite a number   to sing 
Dm7
Spot lit getting lowered in
Am                G6   Edim/G         Fmaj7 Dm/F
  Can you codirect  and      play the twins?
     Dm7
And adapt the main theme for mandolins?
Am                 G6 Edim/G       Fmaj7 Dm/F
  I've conjured up wonderful things
    Dm7
The Ballad of What Could Have Been
Am         G6 Edim/G Fmaj7 Dm/F
  Over and out
     Dm7
It's been a thrill

[Chorus]
      Dm   F/C
I had big ideas,
    E/B        E7  Am
the band was so  excited
         Dm      F/C      E/B       E7    Am
The kind you'd rather not share over  the phone
            Dm F/C      E/B       E7
But now the orchestra's got us all
Am
  surrounded
         Dm  F/C     E/B        E7 Dm    Am/C       E7/B E
And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go

[Bridge]
Am G6 Edim/G Fmaj7 Dm/F Dm7

[Verse 2]
Am      G6 Edim/G Fmaj7 Dm/F
  Coordinated   release
Dm7
Nationwide festivities
Am              G6 Edim/G     Fmaj7     Dm/F
  We had 'em out   of    their     seats
  Dm7
Waving their arms and stomping their feet
Am             G6 Edim/G Fmaj7 Dm/F
  Some just hysterical scenes
    Dm7
The Ballad of What Could Have Been
Am         G6 Edim/G Fmaj7 Dm/F
  Over and out
            Dm7
Really it's been a thrill

[Chorus]
      Dm   F/C
I had big ideas,
    E/B        E7  Am
the band was so  excited
         Dm      F/C      E/B       E7    Am
The kind you'd rather not share over  the phone
            Dm F/C      E/B       E7
But now the orchestra's got us all
Am
  surrounded
         Dm  F/C     E/B        E7 Dm    Am/C       E7/B Am E/G#
And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go

Am Edim/G Fmaj7 Dm7 Am
Edim/G Fmaj7 Dm7 Am

[Solo Guitar]
Dm F/C E/B E7 Am Dm F/C E/B E7 Am
Dm F/C E/B E7

[Outro]
Am       Dm    Am/C    E7/B      Ddim/E  Ddim7  Am/C       E
  I just can't for the life of me      remember how they go
