Verse
F
I can recall you standng tall,
Dm
A man in all his glory gazing
Gm
At them patterns painting rainbows in
C
The sunlight on the pavement
F
in the blackness where your axon sent me
Dm
Softly into dreaming
Gm
Over bends and home again only to
C
Turn up inbetween them
[Verse 2]
F
And the speakers shout me greetings
Dm
They shout me revelations
Gm
Where them villains wind up dancing and their fans come
C
Spend their paychecks
F
And we dance around a ram sent down(?) and
Dm
We just wear the anthem sounds
Gm
Tricksters and the tramps about,
C
Cheaters as the champs are crowned
[Verse 3]
F
You take your chances
Dm
While the sunlight sets
Gm
But no matter how ferocious
C
That the gunfight gets
F
The promised land i hear is merely
Dm
One ride west
Gm
I haven't had the time to take
C
But when the blood dries, let's
[Verse 4]
F Dm
If you did not believe in all these
Gm C
Silly little things you do
F Dm
You might not feel that melancholy
Gm C
When they turn out to not be true
F Dm
But who's to say what's true and what isn't
Gm C
He said she said that it's not you
Fm Dm
Me oh my good god good riddance
Gm*
What a nice neat bloodless coupe
[Verse 5]
F Dm
Youv'e been praying with dirty fingers
Gm C
It's a wonder you can pray at all
F Dm
'Til nighttime comes cool 'cross the vineyard
Gm C
And it's a wonder I should think so small
F Dm
But there she goes my moonlight daugthter
Gm C
Baskin, brushing up against the rose
F Dm
Sometimes she sings tunes I taught her
Gm*
Most times she don't use words at all
[Outro]
F Dm
You get what you get and you don't throw a fit
Gm C
Take what you make and don't tell no one shit (x4)
