laugh
from
the
A
dark
of
the
wilderness
a
Dm
baby
cries
hard
in
an
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
apartment
complex
As I
F FOUR_MAJOR
pass
in a
car
buried
A
under
the influence
the city's
Dm
driving
me
out
of my
Bb
mind
I've
seen a
F FOUR_MAJOR
child
is
caught
in
the
A
sad
trap
of
gravity
he
Dm
falls
from
the
lowest
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
branch
of
the
apple tree
and
F FOUR_MAJOR
lands
in
the
grass
and
A
weeps
for
his
dignity
next

he
will
not

a

colleges
her

family
is
re-
duced
to
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
names
on
a
shopping list
while
F FOUR_MAJOR
a
coroner
kneels
beneath a
A
great
wooden crucifix
he
knows there's
Dm
worse
things
than being
a-
Bb
lone
and
so I've
F FOUR_MAJOR
learned
to
retreat
at
the
A
first
sign
of
danger
I
mean
Dm
why
wait
around
if
it's
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
just
to
surrender
and
F FOUR_MAJOR
ambition
I've
found
can
lead
A
only
to
failure
I
Dm
do
not
read
the
re-
Bb

I
F FOUR_MAJOR

am
not

Well
I
stood
F FOUR_MAJOR
dropping
a
coin
into
the
A
pit
of
a
well
and
I would
Dm
throw
my whole
billfold
if
I
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
thought
it
would
help
with all these
F FOUR_MAJOR
wishes
I
make
I
should
A
buy
something
real
at
least a
Dm
tel
-
e
-
phone
call
Bb
home
Well my
F FOUR_MAJOR
teachers
they
built
this
A
retaining wall
of
memory
all those
Dm
multi-
ple
choices
I
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
answered
so
quickly
and
F FOUR_MAJOR
got
my
grades
back
and
for-
A
got
just
as
easily
but at
Dm
least
I
got
an
Bb
'A'
and
so
I
F FOUR_MAJOR
C ONE_MAJOR
don't
have
them
to
F FOUR_MAJOR
blame___
F FOUR_MAJOR
Well I stood
I
should
F FOUR_MAJOR
stop
pointing
fingers
re
-
A
serve
my
judgement
of
all
those
Dm
public
action
figures
the
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
cowboy
pre-
si-
dents
so
F FOUR_MAJOR
loud
behind the
bullhorn
so
A
proud they
can't
ad-
mit
when
Dm
they've
made
a
mis
-
Bb
take
While
F FOUR_MAJOR
poison
ink
spews
from
A
speech
-
writer's
pen
he
knows he
Dm
don't
have
to
say
it
so it
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
it don't
bother
him
"Hon-
es-
F FOUR_MAJOR
ty"
"Accuracy"
it's just
A
"Pop-
u-
lar
Opinion"
and
the
a-
Dm
pro

val
ra-
ting's

high
and
so

Bullshit!
they
give
us
Dm
fact
or
fiction
I
guess an
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
even
split
And each
F FOUR_MAJOR
new
act
of
war
is tonight's
A
enter
-
tainment
we're
still the
Dm
pawns
in
their
Bb
game
as
they
take
F FOUR_MAJOR
eye
for
an
eye
until
A
no
-
one
can
see
we must
Dm
stumble
blindly
forward
repeating
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
hi-
sto-
ry
Well
I
guess
F FOUR_MAJOR
we
all
fit
into
your
slogan
on
that
A
fast
food
marquee
Red
Dm
Blooded
white
skinned
oh and the
Bb
blues
oh
and the
F FOUR_MAJOR
C ONE_MAJOR
blues
I've got the
blues
that's
F FOUR_MAJOR
me!
that's
F FOUR_MAJOR

Whoa!

Well
I
a-
F FOUR_MAJOR
woke
in
re-
lief
my
sheets and
A
tubes
were
all
tangled
weak from
Dm
whiskey
and
pills
in
a
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
Chi
-
cago
hospital
and my
F FOUR_MAJOR
fathers
was
there
in a
A
chair
by
the
window
sta-
Dm
rin
so
far
a
-
Bb
way
I tried
F FOUR_MAJOR
talking
just
whispered
so
A
sorry
so
selfish
he
Dm
stopped me
and
said
child
I
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
love
you
re-
gardless
and there's
F FOUR_MAJOR
nothing
you
could
do
that
A
would
ever
change
this
I'm no t
Dm
angry
it
ha
-
Bb
ppens
but
you just
F FOUR_MAJOR
C ONE_MAJOR
can't
do
it
a
-
F FOUR_MAJOR
gain
F FOUR_MAJOR
So
now
I
F FOUR_MAJOR
try
to
keep
up
I've
been
ex-
A
changing
my
currency
while
a
Dm
million
ob-
jects
pass
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
through
my
periphery
Now
I'm
F FOUR_MAJOR
rubbing
my
eyes
'cause they're
A
starting
to
bother
me
I've been
Dm
staring
too
long
at
the
Bb
screen
But where
F FOUR_MAJOR
was it
when I first
heard
that sweet
A
sound
of
hum-
ility
it
Dm
came
to
my
ears
in the god-
Bb
C ONE_MAJOR
damn
loveliest
melody
How
F FOUR_MAJOR
grateful
I
was
then
to
be
A
part
of
the
mystery
to
Dm
love
and
to
be
Bb
loved
let's just
F FOUR_MAJOR
C ONE_MAJOR
hope
that
is
e
-
F FOUR_MAJOR
nough___
F FOUR_MAJOR
Whoa!
