I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out there to revise this. Anyway, very simple song. The intro chords are Em and C. Verse: --3----3----3----3----| --0----1----0----1----| --0----0----0----0----| --0----0----0----0----| --2----0----2----0----| --3----0----3----0----| G Gsus4 G Gsus4 (repeat) C I'm closer to the golden dawn, I can't believe the wagon's gone, G Gsus4 G Gsus4 It's history... (C, G, Gsus4 through all of the verses) A# 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... A# 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... A# If I don't explain what you oughta know C You can tell me all about it at the next ball show G Em C I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought C Am G And I ain't got the power anymore... G D Em (same as before) Don't believe in yourself... mdw -- Matt Welsh, [email protected] "That kernel's got a mean streak A MILE WIDE!!" --Chip Salzenberg
