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