(intro) A5 D5 Aadd4 G5 A5 D5 A worn out joke to keep the flies away Aadd4 G5 Carried it this far A5 D5 Got the westside winds keep it steady Aadd4 G5 Bury the hatchets we find A5 D5 Could carry that heavy load Aadd4 G5 If I really thought it would matter E5 Aadd4 Farcical hair appears E5 As a blind side A5 D5 Clean the slate (refr?o) A5 D5 Working in the halls of shame G5 Lay it down in full view E5 Lay it down What the hell were we thinking Before the fire burned out Can't find you now Didn't know you then Loneliness drinks the bitters Till the cold wind's warm again To feel born again Mouth open wide, screams and hollers (refr?o) Gambled once and won, never made a dollar Beauty fades to gray I pray the very best will guard her And provide a way There's a telltale sign And it's chairs up, time to go (refr?o) (a neat way to tie the "A" chords to the G5 and D5 are to slide the "E" note fretted on the second string up to the fourth fret, and then pull it off) D | --0------------0------ B | --3------------0------ G | --0------------0------ D | --2-----2/4p0--0------ A | --0------------2------ E | ---------------3------
