here and I’ll get back to you.
 
From the album  How Dare You?  another classic.  There are lots of
guitars on this track, both electric and acoustic.  I have tried to
tab as many parts as I could, I think all the info you need is there.
Corrections welcome.

Lyrics:
 
 
Just like a rollin' stone,
I'm outside lookin' in
But if your chance came would you take it?
Where on earth do I begin?
 
" I'm Mandy fly me... "
 
I've often heard her jingle
It's never struck a chord
With a smile as bright as sunshine
She called me through the poster
And welcomed me aboard
 
She led me she fed me
She read me like a book
But I'm hiding in the small print
Won't you take another look?
And take me away
Try me Mandy, fly me away...
 
The world was spinning like a ball
And then it wasn't there at all
And as my heart began to fall
 
I saw her walking on the water
As the sharks were comin' for me
I felt Mandy pull me up, give me the kiss of life
Just like the girl in Dr. No No No No...
 
Ah when they pulled me from the wreckage
And her body couldn't be found
Was it in my mind it seems
I had a crazy dream
I told them so but they said no no no no...
 
I found me on a street
And starin' at a wall
If it hadn't have been for Mandy
Her promise up above me
Well I wouldn't be here at all
So if you're travellin' in the sky
Don't be surprised if someone said " Hi... "
 
" I'm Mandy fly me... "
