There's flies buzzin' round me.
I'm beggin' for a breeze.
The grass that surrounds me
Is so high that I can't see
There's something out there watching me
And I can't find no peace.
If it catches up with me
It's gonna kill me by degrees.

(For the most part they follow the above chords sometimes skipping the last
part of the first section, sometimes they go from the G to D, skipping C,
listen to a copy)

Verse 2

The sun's sinking fast now
And the night is moving in.
I've got to find a place
Where I know I won't be seen.
If you're out there can't you help me
'cause I try but I can't scream
And I know that it's not real
But I can't break out of this dream

Am G D C Am G D C
Oh no, whoa no

G          D         C
What's it gonna take to make you realize?
You're killing yourself, I've seen it in your eyes.
Stand up and walk away.
Wake up if you want to live another day.

Then they go throught the main theme once and end it with some well placed
feedback.  Then the slide solo starts Em to C which builds to Em D C
then Kang solo over G  D  C

This song if for the people
Who live this dream.
Their minds are twisted
In one long endless scream.
The bottle is your graveyard
The wind howling through the trees.
And if you don't wake up soon
Your life will pass by like a breeze

Chorus again - with ad-lib vocal parts, and then another Kyle fill  The song
ends on E, then the applause begins.

love
