Started out in church and finished with Angelica.
F                        G
Red and Blue Soul with a snow white smile,
Am                C
"Can you dig it?"

You've got to make up your mind and make it soon,
Am                          Bm7          C
Is there room in your life, for one more trip to the M-o-o-n?
Am                          Bm7
Is there room in your life, for one more...
