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