G5 G5 C5

    G5                        C5
She reads the leaves and she leads the life 
         G5                        D5
That she learned so well from the old wives 
        E5           D5        C5 
It's so strange to arrange it, you know I
         D5
wouldn't change it
    E5                D5      C5
But hear me if you're near me, can I just
    D5        
rearrange it?

    G5
The watchman covers me  

With his remedy 
                                 D5
I can't see and it's hard to feel 
                  C5             G5
I think his magic might be real
 
G5 G5 C5

G5       G5                   C5
I can't get to you from your garden gate
              G5                    D5
You know it's always locked by the magistrate  
             E5       D5       C5
Now he don't care why you cry, he thinks it's
D5
just a lie  
   E5         D5          C5                  D5
To get out, I don't doubt that you'd make a try

G5
If the good times get you through 
 
I know the dogs won't bother you 
                               D5
We'll be gone in moonshine time  
                         C5          G5
I've got a place they'll never find 

G5 G5 C5

           G5                  C5
You know I do believe in your hexagram  
            G5                    D5
But can you tell me how they all knew the plan?  
        E5      D5             C5        
Did you trip or slip on their gifts you know were
D5
just a con? 
    E5                 D5    C5                  D5
You knew it, why d'you do it, I've been hiding in

the dawn

G5
Now I must be on my way  

I guess you really have to stay  

Inside the mission walls  
D5               C5        G5
Down in Modark, Arkansas 
 
G5 G5 C5
