Intro  (still haven?t figured it out completely
 Variations on C5 D5  few times
               F5   E5  C5  D5 C5  G5


C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
I was born in the Summer of Sam --
C5             D5                      G5
Smaller and sooner than planned --
C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
In the spitting image of a man
C5             D5                      G5
Raised by wolves on the fat of the land.
C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
Clear of romance, beauty, and damned
C5             D5                      G5
Tomorrow will come if she can.


C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
Just want a woman who can walk on a wire
C5             D5                      G5
With a trembling glass in her hand.

D5             C5                   G5
Over the hilltops the fire engine rolls,
D5              C5                  D5
Down the valley deeper still it goes;

C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
Got my weapons out, I'm laying low
C5             D5                      G5
On this end of the telescope.

C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
Alone, you ramble the whole of the world
C5             D5                      G5
Through black-water jungles for bliss.
C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
It's feast or famine, you eat what you kill
C5             D5                      G5
There's no need to bring God into this.
C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
My heart is heavy and pressed to the bone,
C5             D5                      G5
Some people too heavy to hold.
C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
Salutations, take me as I am --
C5             D5                      G5
You can have me, or leave me alone.
D5              C5                  G5
Sun-kissed lemons in the graveyard below
D5              C5                  D5
Here in death you see new adventures grow.
C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
I see you at last but mostly ghost,
C5             D5                      G5
On this end of the telescope.


solo

C5 with embellishments  ( D5 ) G5

bridge

E5                       G5
This will not be easy
A5
Word's out the doctor is not coming in
E5                                     G5 (embellishments)
This genie is too angry to go back
                  D5 (without seventh)
Into the bottle again.

then another solo which I don't have the talents to tab

C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
Closer than ever, and covered in birds
C5             D5                      G5
A bone-colored moon fills the west.
C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
Now, throats will be slashed, and flags will unfurl
C5             D5                      G5
As time will divide us in gangs.
C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
Now, years of progress digging the sand
C5             D5                      G5
Companions we made didn't last.
C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
Now, lousy lovers do well with their hands
C5             D5                      G5
But I'll reach you like nobody can.
D5              C5                  G5
Now, slow and easy, you let your paddle go
D5              C5                  D5
Down a the bottom there is more hell to row.
C5    D5        G5      D5         C5
I see clear at last: I love, I loathe,
C5             D5                      G5
On this end of the telescope.
