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