Capo 2nd fret
G
G
Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
G
I saw your legends lined up
D
And I never felt more natural
Em D Em
Apart, I just came apart
G
Please, please, please sister Socrates
G
You always answer with a question
D
Show some kindness to a petty thief
Em D Em
Forgive, you did forgive
C D
Watch the migrants smoke in the old orange grove
G C
And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
C D
You�ve been a father to me In 1960�s speak
G C
In the comatose joy that we�re on TV
Am
While the mountain�s side was shining
G
Wild colors of my destiny
Am
I watched your face age backwards
G
Changing shape in my memory
Am
You taught me victory�s sweet
G
Even deep in the cheap seats
G G D Em D Em
G
Hey, hey, hey mother interstate
G
Can you deliver me from evil
D
Make me honest make me wedding cake
Em D Em
Atone, I will atone
G
Wait, wait, wait mighty outer-space
G
All that flying saucer terror
D
Made me lazy drinking lemonade
Em D Em
A waste, it just went to waste
C D
Like the Freon cold out the hotel door
G C
Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral
C D
You�ve been a daughter to me your buried shoe-box grief
G C
I felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat
Am
While the waterfall was pouring
G
Crazy symbols of my destiny
Am
I watched your face die backwards
G
Little baby in my memory
Am
You told me victory's sweet
G
Even deep in the cheap seats
C Em C
And you don�t judge me
D C
That�s not your style
Em
But I won�t see you
Bm C
for a little while
Em C
And there�s no worries, oh lord
D C
Whose got time
Em D
All these changes are going to fill your mind
C D
Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove
G C
Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
C D
It�s been a nightmare to me Some 1980�s grief
G C
Gives me parachute dreams Like old war movies
Am G
While the universe was drawn Perfect circles form infinity
Am
I watched the stars get smaller
G
Tiny diamonds in my memory
Am
I know that victory is sweet
G
Even deep in the cheap seats
