G5 - (As transcribed above)
On the old forgotten crossways where the fourteen rivers did meet
G5
The bones of our elders were lying in the street
G5
On the dark and dusty desert like a ghost I've flown
G5
I barely cried wherever I'd ride I ride I never found a home
C5 D5 G5
Woe on me
A5 D5
Somehow I will feel more free
G5 C5
To wallow in the empty headed peace
A5 D5
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
G5
I am just a ramshackle I go from town to town
G5
Where there is no shelter I lay down on the grown
G5
I've killed for no reason I've pissed upon a kind
G5
Cost them all and burned the bone when I've had the time
C5 D5 G5
Woe on me
A5 D5
Somehow I will feel more free
G5 C5
To wallow in the empty headed peace
A5 D5
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
G5
Well there's saints and there are animals they've taken what they could
G5
And it's written in the pages to do just what they should
G5
Well they stood the test and burned the rest and tore them limb from limb
G5
Like a fashion with no passion they open up their skin
C5 D5 G5
Woe on me
A5 D5
Somehow I will feel more free
G5 C5
To wallow in the empty headed peace
A5 D5
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
