THE TRIP
As recorded by Donovan

[Intro]
F7
 
[Verse 1]
F7
We was a-d-d-d-drivin' d-downtown L.A.,
F7
About a-midnight hour
F7
And it almost b-b-blew my mind
F7
I got caught in a coloured shower
F7
All those lights were t-t-twinkling on Sunset
F7
I saw a sign in the sky
F7
It said, "T-t-t-trip a t-trip, I trip, trip,"
F7
I couldn't keep up up if I tried
 
[Verse 2]
F7     C7
Ah, we stepped down to reality company
C7
To get some instant sleep
        F7
And the driver turned, I said, "Welcome back"
F7
He smiled and he said, "Beep beep"
F7
What goes on? Chick-a-chick
F7
What goes on? I really wanna know
F7
What goes on all around me
F7
What goes on? I really wanna know
 
[Verse 3]
F7
When in should come-a my dream woman
F7
She got sequins in her hair
F7
Like she stepped out off of a Fellini film
F7
She sat in a white straw chair
F7
But I thought I'd take a second look
F7
Just to see what I could see
F7
And my scene had popped out like a bubble does
 
[Verse 4]
F7
There was nobody there but me
         C7
I said, "Girl, you drank a lot of drink-me
C7
But you ain't in a Wonderland
           F7
You know I might-a be there to greet you, child
F7
When your trippin' ship touches sand."
F7
What goes on? Chick-a-chick
F7
What goes on? I really wanna know
F7
What goes on? Chick-a-chick
F7
What goes on? I really wanna know
 
[Verse 5]
F7
A silver goblet of wine is-a to be
F7
Held in a bejewelled glove
F7
And her knights they toast the tournament
F7
The falcons they fly above
F7
And the queen will a drink of the dew tonight
F7
But the jester she cries alone
F7
Because Merlin he spoke of an instant spell
 
F7
To make the devil's white knights moan
 
[Verse 6]
      C7
And-a all in all, the seagull said
C7
"As I look to where I've been
    F7
The whole wide human race
F7
Has a-taken far too much Methedrine"
F7
What goes on? Chick-a-chick
F7
What goes on? I really wanna know
F7
What goes on? So near
F7
What goes on? I really wanna know
F7
Yeah well, come on
 
[Guitar Solo]
F7   C7   F7
 
[Verse 7]
C7 F7
We sat in a velvet jewel case
F7
With sparkles everywhere
F7
And Julian he sat on a diamond ring
F7
And-a talked of the days gone by
F7
We spoke of a common kaleidoscope
F7
And the pros and the cons of Zen
F7
And he spoke and-a said for a piece of cake
F7
He really did have a yen
 
[Verse 8]
      C7
Bobby Dylan he sat "the Mad Hatter"
C7
A broken hour glass in his hand
      F7
And-a Joannie sat in a white lace
F7
Looking cool with a black lace fan
F7
What goes on? Chick-a-chick
F7
What goes on? I really wanna know
F7
What goes on? Yes please tell me
F7
What goes on? I really wanna know
