tabbed by Dave


Intro: E    C#m    E  B  C#m  x2 

          E            C#m
   Yellow bird, yellow moon
             E              B                C#m
   You've arrived while the spring is out of tune
         E          C#m
   River run, river slow
            E            B          C#m
   From the Grand Coulee Dam to Jericho
          E                B              C#m
   To the island where the wounded echoes go


E                    A                    B                         C#m    A
   Over that horizon,  over that horizon, past the streets of Evangeline
             E             B               C#m    A
   There's a boy among the redwood and the pine
           E               B            C#m
   Jack of Diamonds you're no friend of mine

E    C#m    E  B  C#m

        E           C#m
   Seventeen, seven sins
          E                B               C#m
   Can we just hide here before the war begins
         E          C#m
   River run, river rage
            E                B             C#m
   From the beak of a yellow bird beside a cage
        E               B            C#m
   To a field of broken drums upon a stage


E                    A                    B                         C#m    A
   Over that horizon,  over that horizon, past the streets of Evangeline
            E                  B                C#m    A
   Past the bedrooms where the wounded girls recline
           E               B            C#m
   Jack of Diamonds you're no friend of mine

E    C#m    E  B  C#m  x2 

A                       E    
   Where do you go dear?   Who do you know dear?
B                        C#m
   Who do you rage for tonight?
A                        E
   Who do you lie beside?   Who do you sigh beside?
F#m                         Ab    A
   Who do you look to for a sign?


         E             B               C#m  A
   I'm a boy among the redwood and the pine
              E          B             C#m  A
   I hear the sirens out on the county line
           E               B            C#m  A
   Jack of Diamonds you're no friend of mine
           E               B            C#m
   Jack of Diamonds you're no friend of mine

C#m                E    C#m    E  B  C#m
