Somewhere Illinois from Scarlett's Guitar by The Mighty Frasers

Verse 1
My baby’s gone on a plane
He’s miles away once again
His smile, it wasn’t the same
He’s gone to Somewhere, Illinois

Verse 2
He really loves me he said
It’s radio in my head
It’s big-wave it’s infrared
From here to there in Illinois

Chorus 1
So turn on, won’t you Illinois
Tune in, can’t you Illinois
Play that finest symphony
Warm harmony, for me
And my baby


Verse 2
He’s tired of leaving he said
He’s tired of things - left unsaid
He’d rather be here instead
Then there, somewhere in Illinois


Chorus 2
Oh God, turn on, won’t you Illinois
Tune in, can’t you Illinois
Play that finest symphony
Warm harmony, for me
And my baby

Solo – Chorus format

Bridge
Baby it’s the sweetest thing
This missing you
This thrill of hope rising
Where you broke through
The walls of my stubborn resignation

Verse 4
I really love you I cried
This time I’ll deal with my pride
This time I’ll let you inside
When you come back from Illinois

Chorus 3
Now, turn on, won’t you Illinois
Tune in, can’t you Illinois
Play that finest symphony
Warm harmony, for me, for me
And my baby
