(Excellent album. Pick it up.) Anyway, I really disagree with the version on the olga and at numerous other sites so here goes: Intro: A (play the lowest note of the chord first then strum...just listen to the record.) A E I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids F# E The world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids A E The ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin thru the sky F# E And every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry D F A F# Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town B E The buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down A E There's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin F# E The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in A E And the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris F# E And all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see D F A F# So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show B E Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own (At this point Harmonica solo plays over chord progression A-E-F#-E) A E So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair F# E The limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air D F A F# Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you B E And there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream A that ever drifted by Play A until fade out That's it. You should get the basic idea. Just listen to the record for the strumming pattern. Have fun. ReverendCracker
