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