The other chords are perfect, I just know that it's nice to have lyrics as well.
A
A
Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
A
I saw your legends lined up
E
And I never felt more natural
F#m E F#m
Apart, I just came apart
A
Please, please, please sister Socrates
A
You always answer with a question
E
Show some kindness to a petty thief
F#m E F#m
Forgive, you did forgive
D E
Watch the migrants smoke in the old orange grove
A D
And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
D E
You’ve been a father to me In 1960’s speak
A D
In the comatose joy that we’re on TV
Bm
While the mountain’s side was shining
A
Wild colors of my destiny
Bm
I watched your face age backwards
A
Changing shape in my memory
Bm
You taught me victory’s sweet
A
Even deep in the cheap seats
A A E F#m E F#m
A
Hey, hey, hey mother interstate
A
Can you deliver me from evil
E
Make me honest make me wedding cake
F#m E F#m
Atone, I will atone
A
Wait, wait, wait mighty outer-space
A
All that flying saucer terror
E
Made me lazy drinking lemonade
F#m E F#m
A waste, it just went to waste
D E
Like the Freon cold out the hotel door
A D
Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral
D E
You’ve been a daughter to me your buried shoe-box grief
A D
I felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat
Bm
While the waterfall was pouring
A
Crazy symbols of my destiny
Bm
I watched your face die backwards
A
Little baby in my memory
Bm
You told me victory's sweet
A
Even deep in the cheap seats
D F#m D
And you don’t judge me
E D
That’s not your style
F#m
But I won’t see you
C#m D
for a little while
F#m D
And there’s no worries, oh lord
E D
Whose got time
F#m E
All these changes are going to fill your mind
D E
Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove
A D
Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
D E
It’s been a nightmare to me Some 1980’s grief
A D
Gives me parachute dreams Like old war movies
Bm A
While the universe was drawn Perfect circles form infinity
Bm
I watched the stars get smaller
A
Tiny diamonds in my memory
Bm
I know that victory is sweet
A
Even deep in the cheap seats
Have fun.
