Genie on a table top

  
  More similes per square inch than is entirely sensible ... 
 
 Intro
 
 D A G (Repeat a few times)
 
 D                         A
 I went floating down the street one day
         G                  D    A
 With a song playing in my mind
 D                          A
 Hopping and bopping like a ricochet
      G                F#
 Bad news was hard to find
              G       A7     D
 There was a hint of syncopation
                 G         A 7      D
 Coming from the sidewalk and the street
              G        A 7     Bm
 There was a glint of scintillation
              G                A
 Hanging over everyone you'd meet
 
 Chorus
         D        A      Bm
 And it makes me feel okay
         D                        A                        Bm
 Like a big yellow tractor going mowing through a field of hay
 G       D                    A                            D 
 Like a genie on a tabletop surfing through the month of May
 
 D C G    D C G    D C G    D C G  \{a few times\} 
 
 
 D                                A
  Saw the world in the window of knick-knack shop
          G              D    A
  And I tossed it in the air 
 D                         A
 A girl went by with a forget-me-not
         G               F# 
 And she wore it in her hair
             G       A7     D
 There was a peak of pixillation
             G       A 7     D
 And I never noticed it before
              G       A 7     Bm
 There was a jump of jubilation
              G                      A
 And it seemed to promise more and more
 
 Chorus
         D        A      Bm
 And it makes me feel okay
         D                        A                        Bm
 Like a big yellow tractor going mowing through a field of hay
 G       D                    A                           D    
 Like a genie on a tabletop surfing through the month of May
 
 D C G    D C G    D C G    D C G  \{a few times\} 
 
 Bridge
 
 F                                Bb
 Oh she loves me and she loves me better
            A          D
 Than I've ever loved myself
 F                             Bb
 She knows me and she loves me better
        A           D     A  
 Now I want nobody else
 
 D                         A
 Percolating through the noonday sun
      G              D    A
 With wings upon my shoes
 D                                 A
 I was jumping about in front of everyone
    G            F#
 No dignity to lose
              G       A7     D
 There was a rush of animation
              G       A7     D
 Bubbling about inside my soul
              G        A 7     Bm
 There was a rin-tin-tabulation coming
              G         A
 It was so hard to control
 
 Chorus
         D        A      Bm
 And it makes me feel okay
           D                        A                        Bm
 Like a pig with a bucket full of truffles in a French cafe
  G     D                        A                        Bm
 Like Louis Armstrong playing trumpet on the judgment day
  G        D                            A              Bm
 Like a flying boat captain with an amethyst lake below
  G        D                     A                     Bm
 Like a winner of a marathon rolling in a field of snow
  G         D                    A                      Bm
 Like a figure skating gigolo looking for a heart to steal
  G        D                A                Bm
 Like a simulated orgasm suddenly becoming real
  G        D                        A                        Bm
 Like a big yellow tractor going bowling through a field of hay
 G       D                    A                           D    C G D C G
 Like a genie on a table top  s urfing through the month of May
