N.C.
When the weather was hot, I thought it was nice

When it was cold I thought that it was good for the ice

When the sun was up, it was always shining

On cloudy days I saw the silver lining

C Bb C F
And on my mind was a girl called Jane

I went to Prague in the fall one time
F
Just to see what was up with Tsimmerman
Bb Gm
I thought I was a bohemian already
C Bb C F
And had nothing to learn from anybody

But hanging about with Tsimmerman in Prague

I lost my temperance and my bag

I started to stumble, it started to rain
C Bb C F
And I started to think of Jane again

I had idols at the time, it may sound funny to you

But I wanted to be like Bono from U2

I got to know Jane, and she got to know me

She licked my spoon and I stirred her tea
Bb Gm
We were getting along, we laughed a lot

There's a lot to learn in a mere lifetime

You wake up different one fine day
