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