  • Title is a reference to "Questions 67 and 68" by Chicago
  • Written: 1993-06-29 (version 2.1)
  • I recorded a demo version of this for MoG, but it was never performed (except maybe in rehearsal) as far as I remember. The recording is on the 8-track, though I'm pretty sure there's a practice mix somewhere.

guitar riff

verse 1

Em G A C And as you're wandering the fields of the land
Em G A B7 You find you're pondering the problems at hand
Em G A C You find you're asking yourself as you go
B7 _ _ _ (How do I know all the things that I know?)

Em G F Em

verse 2

Em G A C You're in the city - people, buildings, and streets
Em G A B7 Your head is humming from the pounding of feet
Em G A C A second look between the cracks in the wall
B7 _ _ _ (What was that there or was it nothing at all?)
Em G F Em
Em G A B7
Em G F C
G B7 _ _

pause... guitar riff

verse 3

Em G A C
Em G A B7
Em G A C Despite the fact the city lanes are so wide
Em G A B7 All of the parking spaces are occupied
Em G A C You're thinking as you drive yourself down the road
B7 _ _ _ (Who's going to leave, and who will have to be towed?)

Em G F Em

verse 4

Em G A C Above the clouds you fly with nothing to choose
Em G A B7 Below the ground you lie with nothing to lose
Em G A C Between them both you stand where nothing is clear
B7 _ _ _ (Just how the hell.. did I end up here?)

E note -- weird interlude

something else instead of guitar riff – probably piano riff

verse 5

Em G A C You're up in space, you're looking down at the sun
Em G A B7 Not sure you understand just what has begun
Em G A C You stop to think just as a matter of course
B7 _ _ _ (Did I remember.. to lock all the doors?)
Em G F Em
