Blow up your TV (Spanish pipe dream)

1. She was a level headed dancer on the road to alcohol,
E A
and I
was just a soldier on my way to Montreal.
A
She pressed her chest against
me,
D
about
the time the juke box broke,
E
she
gave me a peck on the back of the neck,
A
and
these are the words she spoke.

Blow up your T.V. (blow up your T.V.),
throw away your paper (throw away
your paper),
E A
go to the country, build you a
home.
A
Plant a little garden (plant a little garden),
eat a lot of peaches (hoo, hoo)
E A
try and find Jesus on your own.

2. I sat there at the table and I acted real naïve,
E
A
for I
knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve.
A
D
She danced around the bar room
and she did the hoochy-coo,
E
A
she
sang her song all night long, tellin’ me what to do.
+ CHORUS

3. But I was young and hungry and about to leave that place,
E
A
when
just as I was going’, well, she looked me in the face
A
D
I said, “You must know the
answer”, she said, “No, but I'll give it a try!”
E
And to this very day we've
been livin’ our way,
A
and
here is the reason why.

We blew up the T.V. (blew up thr T.V.),
threw away our paper (threw away

E A
moved to the country, built us a
home.
A
Had a lot of childen, yes, we did,

on peaches (hoo, hoo)
E A
they all found Jesus on their own.
