Intro: A

A
Oh, oh, oh brother totem pole
A
I saw your legends lined up
                              Bm
And I never felt more natural
 Gbm              Bm     Gbm
Apart, I just came     apart
A
Please, please, please sister Socrates
A
You always answer with a question
                                    Bm
Show some kindness to a petty thief
   Gbm          Bm      Gbm
Forgive, you did    forgive
          D                     E
Watch the migrants smoke in the old orange grove
        A                     D
And the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
              D                 E
You’ve been a father to me in 1960’s speak
        A                 D
Give me comatose joy like rerun TV
           Bm
While the mountain’s side was shining
                          A
Wild colors of my destiny
               Bm
I watched your face age backwards
                             A
Changing shape in my memory
              Bm
You taught me victory’s sweet
                             A
Even deep in the cheap seats

Interlude: A A Bm Gbm Bm Gbm

A
Hey, hey, hey mother interstate
A
Can you deliver me from evil
                                     Bm
Make me honest make me wedding cake
 Gbm         Bm    Gbm
Atone, I will  atone
A
Wait, wait, wait mighty outer-space
A
All that flying saucer terror
                               Bm
Made me lazy drinking lemonade
  Gbm            Bm           Gbm
a waste, it just went     to waste
         D                  E
Like the Freon cold out the hotel door
       A                      D
Or the white rocket fade over Cape Canaveral
              D                   E
You’ve been a daughter to me your buried shoe-box grief
            A                     D
I felt your poltergeist love like savannah heat
          Bm
While the waterfall was pouring
                            A
Crazy symbols of my destiny
               Bm
I watched your face die backwards
                         A
Little baby in my memory
            Bm
You told me victory's sweet
                             A
Even deep in the cheap seats


D                    Gbm      D
And you don’t judge me
                E        D
That’s not your style
                   Gbm
But I won’t see you
      Dbm                D
for a little while
               Gbm              D
And there’s no worries, oh lord
          E          D
Who's got time
           Gbm          E
All these changes gonna fill your mind
         D                   E
Like the citrus glow off the old orange grove
       A                     D
Or the red rocket blaze over Cape Canaveral
            D                      E
It’s been a nightmare to me Some 1980’s greed
         A                     D
Gives me parachute dreams Like old war movies
          Bm                                                A
While the uniVerse was drawing perfect circles for infinity
              Bm
I watched the stars get smaller
                           A
Tiny diamonds in my memory
            Bm
I know that victory is sweet
                             A
Even deep in the cheap seats
