(Excellent album. Pick it up.) Anyway, I really disagree with the version on the olga and at numerous other sites so here goes: Intro: A (play the lowest note of the chord first then strum...just listen to the record.) A (x02220@1) BI (x2444x@1)wake up and look upon your painted eyelids F# (244322@1) EThe (022100@1)world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids A (x02220@1) BThe (x2444x@1)ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin thru the sky F# (244322@1) EAnd (022100@1)every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry D (xx0232@1) ACuz (x02220@1)it's lonely here in the ugly part of town B (x2444x@1) EThe (022100@1)buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down A (x02220@1) BThere's (x2444x@1)a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin F# (244322@1) EThe (022100@1)sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in A (x02220@1) BAnd (x2444x@1)the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris F# (244322@1) EAnd (022100@1)all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see D (xx0232@1) ASo (x02220@1)cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show B (x2444x@1) ECuz (022100@1)I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own (At this point Harmonica solo plays over chord progression A-B-F#-E) A (x02220@1) BSo (x2444x@1)get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair F# (244322@1) EThe (022100@1)limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air D (xx0232@1) ACuz (x02220@1)it's real and it's true the things I see in you B (x2444x@1) EAnd (022100@1)there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream Athat (x02220@1)ever drifted by Play A until fade out That's it. You should get the basic idea. Just listen to the record for the strumming pattern. Have fun. ReverendCracker
