While the city was busy we wanted to rest

    Bm                        C

She decided to drive up to observatory crest

     D                      C

We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best

   Bm                 C

We went on a ride, we got outside

    D                 C                Bm  C

The sand was hot, she wanted to dance



    D                       C

We went round and round in observatory crest

        Bm                          C

Thought we'd saw flying saucers and all of the rest

D                          C                   D  C  Bm  C

Hans in hi-spain (??) from observatory crest





          D                  C

While the city was busy we wanted to rest

     Bm                      C

She decided to drive up to observatory crest

     D                      C

We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best

        Bm                C

So the only thing to do

       D          C

Was to drive up

            D       C

And watch the city

        D               C

From observatory crest
