      G                                         A
I'm standing with you on your roof

                        D D D D, etc.
Looking at the chemical sky

D,etc.
All purple blue and oranges, some pigeons flying by

          G                                       A                     D D

The traffic on Canal Street's so noisy it's a shock

       G                                      A                          D D
D D, etc.
Someone's shooting fireworks or a gun on the next block.

D D D D D   G           A                         D D D D, etc.
A-a-and, I wanna HookyWooky with you.

G                                       A
Traffic's so noisy it's a shock,

 D                                         G
sounds like fireworks or a gun on the next block

A                           D D D D D, etc.
HookyWooky with you.

That's really all there is to the whole song. the last verse is a little
different, but easy to figure out once you have the chords.
