Intro: (each chord is only strummed once)
Cm
Back in the summer of '91
G
An angel with a lizard's tongue
Cm G G*
Was screming for a holy broken nose
Cm
Linked to every class of men
G
Sprung out from the sparkling sins
Cm G
Leaning on the cold electric stove
Chorus 1:
Cm G Cm
On a country road I swerved to the side
G Cm
Trying to avoid a country bumpkin
G Cm
Everyone's in line to meet with the man
G Cm
Who blatantly inspired his generation
Bridge 1:
Fm
When they shake his hand and their fingers explode
G
Breaking both our necks by the tips of our toes
Fm Cm
Then they turn to me, cause you died I suppose
G
But I can't seem to glance fast enough to be sure
Chorus 2:
Cm G Cm
Back to summer days, cold hands on the beach
G Cm
Memories of thrills designed to please you
G Cm
Down the fragrant path I strayed towards the bath
G Cm
Suddenly I lived to learn to feed you
Bridge 2:
Fm
Down on bended knee, where I've been for a while
G
Set the record straight in the old fashioned style
Fm Cm
Never took too much, though I should have made more
G
You are still my friend, though you were not before
Instrumental
End on Cm
