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