Satellite
David Matthews

Dave Matthews Band
Under The Table And Dreaming
1994

This tune is another example of the completely Dave Matthews style.
It contains a pretty simple but quick riff that makes up the whole
verse.  Don't ask me what he was on when he wrote this, though... ;)

LYRICS:

play intro

Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder

Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station

CHORUS
G           C   Am       D
   Winter's cold spring erases
G          C   Am      D               G
   And the calm away by the storm is chasing
C          Am          D
Everything good needs replacing
G              C     Am         D        play intro...
   Look up look down all around hey satellite


Satellite headlines read
Someone's secrets you've seen
Eyes and ears have been

Satellite dish in my yard
Tell me more tell me more
Who's the king of your satellite castle

BRIDGE
     G              Bm          C           D 
Rest high above the clouds no restrictions
    G         Bm                C
Television we bounce 'round the world
D           G                Bm       C           D
And while I spend these hours five senses reeling
  G                Bm           C         play intro...
I laugh about this weatherman's satellite eyes


Satellite in my eyes
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder

Satellite strung from the moon
And the world your balloon
Peeping Tom for the mother station


CHORUS

BRIDGE
Rest high above the clouds no restrictions
Television you bounce from the world
And while I spend these hours five senses reeling
I laugh about this weatherman's satellite eyes
