         G (320003@1)                      DThat (xx0232@1)she learned so well from the old wives 
        Em (022000@1)         D (xx0232@1)      C (x32010@1)It's so strange to arrange it, you know I

    D (xx0232@1)

With his remedy 
                                 DI (xx0232@1)can't see and it's hard to feel 
                  C (x32010@1)           GI (320003@1)think his magic might be real

G7If (320001@1)the good times get you through 
 
I know the dogs won't bother you 
                               DWe'll (xx0232@1)be gone in moonshine time  
                         C (x32010@1)        GI've (320003@1)got a place they'll never find

            G (320003@1)                  DBut (xx0232@1)can you tell me how they all knew the plan?  
        Em (022000@1)    D (xx0232@1)           C (x32010@1)      
Did you trip or slip on their gifts you know were
Djust (xx0232@1)a con? 
    Em (022000@1)               D (xx0232@1)  C (x32010@1)                DYou (xx0232@1)knew it, why d'you do it, I've been hiding in

the dawn

G7Now (320001@1)I must be on my way

I guess you really have to stay

Inside the mission walls
