(C, G, Gsus4 through all of the verses) Bb I'm frightened by the total goal, C I'm drawing to the ragged hole(?) G Em C And I ain't got the wagon anymore, C Am G Gsus4 No I ain't got the wagon anymore... C G Gsus4 (through the verse) I'm the twisted name... Bb Should I leave the engine on, C To listen to that mountain song, G Em C I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought... C Am G And I ain't got the wagon anymore... G D Em Don't believe in yourself A D Don't deceive with believe Em C The knowledge comes with deperate ease(?) D G Em A Ahh oh.... C G Gsus4 (through the verse) Not too stable hangin' by a string...
