Intro: G

[Verse 1]

G
Child [of limousines]
                  C
What's the best place, [That you have seen]
             D
All of the hands, [That you have shook]
              C
Home of the queen of, [Everything fancy]
             G
Is there a smell, [That you can tell]
                 C
Gives you some peace, [Sends you to hell]
            D
All of the beds, [That you have yearned]
             C
Is there a dream to, [Where you'd return]
               G
Where is the plight, [With the most stars]
               C
Where do you drink, [By Echo guitars]
                  D
What's the best shore, [Seen from a boat]
            C
Miniature heads that, [Color the shore line]
              G
If you could rest, [A minute to tell]
              C
Get me some grass, [Iridescent shells]
                  D
I know there's a nest, [Fit with a hatch]
            C
Sunset a glowin', [Makes us all sweaty]

[Pre-Chorus 1]

               G                                         C
Well, I don't even know where to begin or how I should start these days
       D                            C
[The green mountain south or,] The Clay of the westerns
       G                                         C
The Maryland meadows at midnight they do have a misty grace
         D                              C
[Take a trip to blue bayou,] Find Roy Orbison cryin'
      G                                   C
A continent molded from glass or maybe a town I can taste
    D                                  C
[Dresses that glow on,] Girls from Barcelona
    G                                      C
I wanna discover the key and open the everywhere place
           D                              C
[A mix of sky from Montana,] Dipped in FloriDada

[Chorus]

G                             C
Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
D             C
FloriDada, FloriDada
G                             C
Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
D             C
FloriDada, FloriDada

[Verse 2]

G
Old [demented men]
               C
Where is the place, [We can extend]
                D
Crooked state lines, [Polka dot signs]
                C
Say that this place is, [A state of mind]
             G
Pretty lip girls, [Paint me the halls]
            C
Not on a street, [Not near a mall]
             D
Raise me a thumb, [From human skin]
              C
That isn't judged by, [Where it begins]
              G
Show me the clams, [Show me the pearls]
           C
Mail me a note, [Sent from a world]
               D
That isn't so far, [And always right here]
                  C
Where all the boundaries, [Have disappeared]
              G
And all the nights, [Are stitched with a glue]
                   C
That's sticking to me, [And I'll stick to you]
                     D
And I'll take your hands, [You'll take my face]
                C
And everywhere home will, [Be a good place]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
    G                                              C
I found myself there a collagin' with all of the human race
     D                         C
[A dancer from Ghana,] Smiling in Tijuana
       G                                       C
I Frankenstein java with touches of Prada and corn on the plates
     D                         C
[A smear of gardenia,] In the fair hair of Sweden
     G                                       C
And maybe I actually visited some sort of mythical place
     D                    C
[Or was it a future,] Connected by sutures
    G                                               C
Oh let's go get lost in the image I made of the everywhere place
            D                           C
[I see the lads from Osaka,] Dyed in FloriDada

[Chorus]

G                             C
Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
D             C
FloriDada, FloriDada
G                             C
Flori, Flori, Flori, Flori, Florida
D             C
FloriDada, FloriDada

[Bridge]

   C                                        Bm
(Where's) [the bridge that's gonna take me home]
                                  D
A bridge that someone's fighting over
                                 C
[A bridge that someone's paying for]

A bridge so old so let it go
