Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
(This part is actually played on bass, but I use it to fill the first few bars
before the guitar comes in.)
Well I'm free, I'm free like the world, I am
I'm higher than the moon and so much higher still to go
I'm dancing on the silver star,
my boot prints on the white-wall tire
(Guitar begins)
See, see everyone's beautiful
Beautiful and terrified by the sun
that's rising up in the east
I gotta find my way home soon
or I'll just drown in my delight
And if I stumble my way through another year of blindness
I don't deserve to come down from these drugs inside my brain
And if I fumble my way to the people who are mindless
I guess I get what's coming to me and my evil wicked ways
Run, faster than light through me
You can soak my nerves in this vibration
Riding through your imagination
Boot prints on the yellow fire
My footprints on the gilded star
But death, it's more than I can bear tonight
It's not the thought of being gone or the dark that I don't like
But more confused by the emptiness of breath (where does it go?)
And if I stumble my way through another year of blindness
I don't deserve to come down from these drugs inside my brain
And if I stumble my way to the people who are mindless
I guess I get what's coming to me and my evil wicked ways
The rules I make have just lost the way
like guarantees and beds we make
While life goes on for bread and cake
the ground it rumbles cracks and shakes
Underfoot the bugs and snakes
they carry us, they carry us away from here
And underground it's happy deep
where you go down
Oh, hallelujah, God is great
You're never wrong, you're never late
'Cause he designs these pretty things
I, when I die, I simply go alone.
