Nada Surf - River Phoenix

Transcribed by: Russell Schipilow and Timothy Schmitz


G   A x4

G                A
born to hippie parents
given a different name
which he caught much flak for
the world was his oyster
and hollywood the clam
when he grew up
he joined a hippie band
he was directed by gus van zandt
we'd like to think he'd have sung with the Smartipantz
co-starred with flea and keanu

D              G
we didn't know jackie o
        D                         G
she was one of the people that we did not know
D               G
nor did we care about her hair
D                      G
her pillbox hat or her savoir faire
Em                      A
but still we thought we knew
Em            A
maybe you did too

G   A x2

ne a des parents hippies
donne un drole de nom
on lui a beaucoup taquine
le monde etait sa mere
hollywood la pierre
il n'etait pas pour cette terre
dirige par gus van zandt
on aime penser qu'il aurait chante avec les smartipantz
co-star avec flea et keanu

we didn't know jackie o
she was one of the people that we did not know
nor did we care about her hair
her pillbox hat or her savoir faire
but still we thought we knew
maybe you did too
we didn't know jackie o
she was one of the people that we did not know
nor did we care about her hair
her pillbox hat or her savoir faire
but still we thought we knew
maybe you did too
