Something in the air was Oh so rare, I don t know what it was but I know that it s still right there[/tab]

Scared lordy lord I m shakin I m terrified[/tab]

Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees[/tab]
Livin in confusion, searching for truth that I never found
I needed something to really believe
Looked toward the heaven, On a dark and stormy winter afternoon
Something in the air was oh so rare, I m not really sure what it was but I know for sure that it s still
there
Scared, Hey,ey,ey,ey,ey,ey I m terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees
Ohhhhohhhohh
And I m scared you know I m shakin I m laying awake thinking about it now I m terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure enough would like to hear the call
Come on now gimmee a sign you re listening to me,
You hear me talking, you hear me crying it s confusing to me lord I m terrified
Never been much on religion but I sure enough just fell down on my knees
Ohhhhohhhohh
The trick to this song is; some parts sound better played in first position and others you ll need to play
the fretboard
to get the best sound. If you can get a copy of it on tape or CD you ll see what I mean.
For those of you who missed the Burton Cummings "Intimate and Interactive" on Canada s Much More Music station
on Monday Nov. 1, He had Randy on with him playing some guitar and also indicated that they were seriously
considering the possibilty of a "Guess Who" reunion tour this winter!!
Have Fun
