MARILLION – Especially True
from “Happiness Is the Road” (2008)

[Intro]
Am F C E x2
Am

[Verse 1]
F C
I gazed upon you from the bleachers
Am D
A creature so foreign to me
F C
With the stars and the stripes wrapped around you
D
Well how could I know there was England below?
F C
I gazed upon you and I wondered
Am D
Cheerleader with hair of red flame
F C
But that was first glance - I saw only the dance
D
And the distance from New York to Yorkshire

[Chorus 1]
Am F
Truth's always stranger than fiction
C E
And here it's especially true
Am F
Here in the home of Miss USA
C E Am
What's a wide-eyed English boy going to do?

[Verse 2]
F C
I never knew much about baseball
Am D
But I was quick with the US cliché
F C
The crowd gave a roar and I don't know what for
D
The Major League rules get me so confused

[Chorus 2]
Am F
Truth's always stranger than fiction
C E
The cheerleader showed me around
Am F
You with the heart of the USA
C E
And me with the spite of a small English town

[Interlude]
F C F G x2

[Bridge]
F C F C F Em
Central Park after dark is safe these days
F G Am
Depending on the game you play
