Intro:   A5   E5   X4

 B5                      
Forefather pointed to kingdom come
F#5
sadly told his only son
A5
just be careful what you do
    A5        F#5      E5
it all comes back on you

B5
false witness spread the news
F#5
somebody's gonna lose
A5
either she or me or you
A5       F#5      E5
nothing we could do

    A5        F#5    E5
so don't you say a word
    A5        F#5       E5
or repeat a thing you heard
 A5         Ab5     C#5  
time will tell you well
        F#5    A5    B5
if the truth truly fell

A5         E5
tarred and feathered, yeah,
A5         E5 
thistled and thorned
A5      E5        A5       E5
one or the other he kindly warned
A5            E5               
now you look out the window, 
       A5          E5
tell me what do you see?
A5            E5              A5        E5        
i see a golden calf pointing back at me

             B5           
Well, they'd set their cap for so darn long
 F#5
waiting for the end to come along
A5
holy ghost or on the brink
             A5     F#5      E5
i'd take a choice, swim or sink

 B5
false witness cast an evil eye
F#5
said i cannot tell a lie
A5
kings and saints don't bother me
          A5        F#5  E5
i'm not alone, you see

    A5        F#5    E5
so don't you say a word
    A5        F#5       E5
or repeat a thing you heard
 A5         Ab5     C#5  
time will tell you well
        F#5    A5    B5
if the truth truly fell

A5         E5
tarred and feathered, yeah,
A5         E5 
thistled and thorned
A5      E5        A5       E5
one or the other he kindly warned
A5            E5               
now you look out the window, 
       A5          E5
tell me what do you see?
A5            E5              A5        E5        
i see a golden calf pointing back at me
