                       D (xx0232@1)   
No, I really couldn't stay
          Bm (x24432@1)                    F# (244322@1)                             
What with all of these meetings to make
         G (320003@1)             A (x02220@1)       
I keep waking up naked, clawed up, and
              D (xx0232@1)                 Asore (x02220@1)in a goddess's bed every day
          D (xx0232@1)               
I'll take part of the blame
      Bm (x24432@1)                     F# (244322@1)     
If I seem a little lost in a daze
       G (320003@1)                  AEvery (x02220@1)time I think I got my feet on the ground
        DI (xx0232@1)look down
                     Aand (x02220@1)the ground moves away
                  BmIt (x24432@1)goes shaking away
                A (x02220@1)                GI (320003@1)look down and the ground moves away
        Bm (x24432@1)                  D (xx0232@1)                   
Why the hell would I want any money?
               Bm (x24432@1)              D (xx0232@1)                   
With all these acres of anger to farm,
              Bm (x24432@1)             DA (xx0232@1)quiet understanding with manhood, and
                  Em (022000@1)       A (x02220@1)a fist full of feathers and yarn?

Em (022000@1)    F# (244322@1)     GI'm (320003@1)wading over the Wateree
    Em (022000@1)   F# (244322@1)                    G (320003@1)   
To lay me down in the shade of the trees
         A (x02220@1)                D (xx0232@1)In the shade of the trees

DI've (xx0232@1)been speaking in tongues
         Bm (x24432@1)                 F#With (244322@1)the breath of gods in my lungs
          G (320003@1)                 AI've (x02220@1)been channeling Ponce de Leon
           D (xx0232@1)                   ASwallowing (x02220@1)sunlight, and coming undone
               DI (xx0232@1)remember how tenderness tastes

Bm (x24432@1)                       F#I (244322@1)can still see the smile on her face
         G (320003@1)                     AWhen (x02220@1)she spotted me drunk on the trunk of the car 
       D (xx0232@1)                    Ain (x02220@1)Kentucky on the day of the race
                     BmLaughing (x24432@1)"My, what a waste!"
         A (x02220@1)                GHowling (320003@1)"My, what a pitiful waste!"

Bm (x24432@1)                  DWhy (xx0232@1)the hell would I want any whiskey?
            Bm (x24432@1)                       D (xx0232@1)                         
When I done shot out the lights on the street
       Bm (x24432@1)                    DWith (xx0232@1)a kerosene lantern in one hand and
                 Em (022000@1)                  AThe (x02220@1)mysteries of manhood clamped in my teeth

Em (022000@1)    F# (244322@1)     GI'm (320003@1)wading over the Wateree
    Em (022000@1)   F# (244322@1)                    G (320003@1)   
To lay me down in the shade of the trees
         A (x02220@1)                D (xx0232@1)In the shade of the trees

DIn (xx0232@1)the dark at the top of the stairs
        Bm (x24432@1)             F#We (244322@1)were way to wasted to care
       G (320003@1)              AOur (x02220@1)naivet? beaded like sweat on the walls,
         D (xx0232@1)                    A (x02220@1)hell, it hung like honey in the air
                  DBut, (xx0232@1)hey, what's a memory or two

Bm (x24432@1)                 F#In (244322@1)the cycle of planets and moons?
        G (320003@1)                 AIf (x02220@1)I came here to claim the lifeless remains
      D (xx0232@1)                      Aof (x02220@1)my wildest dreams, I should know what to do
                    BmI (x24432@1)ought to know what to do
  A (x02220@1)                GI (320003@1)should know what to do

         Bm (x24432@1)                   F#When (244322@1)the Martian marauders come marching
                           Gthey'll (320003@1)march without manhood
                Astuck (x02220@1)to their shoes
