A (x02220@1)AOh, (x02220@1)oh, oh brother totem pole 
AI (x02220@1)saw your legends lined up 
                              E (022100@1)And I never felt more natural 
 F#m (244222@1)            E (022100@1)   F#mApart, (244222@1)I just came     apart 

APlease, (x02220@1)please, please sister Socrates 
AYou (x02220@1)always answer with a question 
                                    E (022100@1)Show some kindness to a petty thief 
   F#m (244222@1)        E (022100@1)    F#mForgive, (244222@1)you did    forgive 

          D (xx0232@1)                   EWatch (022100@1)the migrants smoke in the old orange grove 
        A (x02220@1)                   DAnd (xx0232@1)the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral 
              D (xx0232@1)             E (022100@1)     
You’ve been a father to me In 1960’s speak 
       A (x02220@1)               D (xx0232@1)           
In the comatose joy that we’re on TV 
           Bm (x24432@1)                        
While the mountain’s side was shining 
                          AWild (x02220@1)colors of my destiny 

               BmI (x24432@1)watched your face age backwards 
                             AChanging (x02220@1)shape in my memory 
              BmYou (x24432@1)taught me victory’s sweet 
                             AEven (x02220@1)deep in the cheap seats 

A A E F#m E F#m

AHey, (x02220@1)hey, hey mother interstate 
ACan (x02220@1)you deliver me from evil 
                                     EMake (022100@1)me honest make me wedding cake 
 F#m (244222@1)       E (022100@1)  F#m (244222@1)               
Atone, I will   atone 

AWait, (x02220@1)wait, wait mighty outer-space 
AAll (x02220@1)that flying saucer terror 
                               EMade (022100@1)me lazy drinking lemonade 
  F#m (244222@1)              E (022100@1)     F#mA (244222@1)waste, it just went     to waste 

         D (xx0232@1)                E (022100@1)  
Like the Freon cold out the hotel door 
       A (x02220@1)                    D (xx0232@1)
Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral 
              D (xx0232@1)                 EYou’ve (022100@1)been a daughter to me your buried shoe-box grief 
            A (x02220@1)                   D (xx0232@1)                 
I felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat 
          Bm (x24432@1)                   
While the waterfall was pouring 
                            A (x02220@1) 
Crazy symbols of my destiny 
               Bm (x24432@1)              
I watched your face die backwards 
                         A (x02220@1)    
Little baby in my memory 
            Bm (x24432@1)                 
You told me victory's sweet 
                             A (x02220@1)
Even deep in the cheap seats 

D (xx0232@1)                  F#m (244222@1)D (xx0232@1)             
And you don’t judge me 
                E (022100@1)    D (xx0232@1)    
That’s not your style 
                   F#m (244222@1)    
But I won’t see you 
      C#m (x13321@4)        D (xx0232@1)      
for a little while 
               F#m (244222@1)            D (xx0232@1)         
And there’s no worries, oh lord 
          E (022100@1)  D (xx0232@1)               
Whose got time 
          F#m (244222@1)               E (022100@1) 
All these changes are going to fill your mind 
                               
         D (xx0232@1)                 E (022100@1)                                
Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove 
       A (x02220@1)                   D (xx0232@1)                                
Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral 
            D (xx0232@1)                    E (022100@1)                          
It’s been a nightmare to me Some 1980’s grief 
         A (x02220@1)                   D (xx0232@1)                              
Gives me parachute dreams Like old war movies 
          Bm (x24432@1)                                             A (x02220@1)   
While the universe was drawn Perfect circles form infinity 

              Bm (x24432@1)               
I watched the stars get smaller 
                           A (x02220@1)  
Tiny diamonds in my memory 
            Bm (x24432@1)                 
I know that victory is sweet 
                             A (x02220@1)
Even deep in the cheap seats 

Have fun.
