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