All untied, by and by!

So if you're ever so inclined

Oh you're ever so inclined

Oh you're ever so inclined

While low in a lodgepole branch nearby

A lovesick Barnyard, an amorous eye

What from my seclusion does this charlatan demand?

What to do now with my best-laid eremetic plans?

I've been to the Arfaks where the Sicklebills fly

That same old dream's trapped in my mind

Well I wake up disappointed every time

Well I wake up disappointed every time

Bm F#
If the weather ever withers up your vine
Bm
Jacob knows a ladder you can climb
F#
If that old thorn is still buried in your side
Bm
Jacob knows a ladder you can climb
F#
Well if your pacific rivers all run dry
Bm
Their clouds will fill my loud corrupted sky
F#
And if the pleasures of your heavens ever end
Bm
That very ladder just as well descends
Bm F# repeat.
