Capo 2

{C:C/B x22010 Am7 x02010}
[C]They were hiding 
behind hay bales
They were [F]planting 
in the [C]Full Moon
They had given [C/B]all 
they [Am7]had 
for something [F]new[G]
But the [C]light of day
 was on them
They could [F]see the 
thrasher [C]coming
And the [C]water [C/B]shone like 
[Am7]diamonds in the [F]dew[G]

{C:Cmaj7 x32000 Am7 x02010 }
{C:Am/C x32210 Dm7 xx0211 }
{C:C/B x22010}
[F]And I was just [G]getting up
To [C]hit the road before it's [F]light
trying to catch an [G]hour 
on the [C]sun[Cmaj7][Cmaj7][C]
[F]When I saw those thrasher[G]s 
rolling by
Looking [C]more than 
[C/B]two lanes [Am7]wide[Am/C]
I was [Dm7]feeling like my 
day had just [G]begun

{C:Cmaj7 x32000 Am7 x02010 }
{C:Am/C x32210 Dm7 xx0211 }
{C:C/B x22010 Am7/G 302010}
Where the [C]eagles 
glide descending
there's an [F]ancient 
river [C]bending
Down the [C]timeless [C/B]gorge 
of [Am7]changes 
[Am7/G]where s[F]leeplessness a[G]wait's
I [C]searched out 
my companions
who were [F]lost in 
crystal [C]canyons
When the [C]aimless [C/B]blade 
of [Am7]science 
[Am7/G]slashed the [F]pearly gates[G]

{C:Cmaj7 x32000 Am7 x02010 }
{C:Am/C x32210 Dm7 xx0211 }
{C:C/B x22010 Am7/G 302010}
[F]It was then I knew 
I'd [G]had enough 
burned my [C]credit card 
for [F]fuel
[F]Headed out to where 
the [G]pavement 
turns to [C]sand[Cmaj7][C]
With a [F]one-way ticket 
to the [G]land 
of truth and my [C]suitcase 
[C/B]in my [Am7]hand[Am7/G]
How I [Dm7]lost my friends 
I still don't understan[G]d

{C:Cmaj7 x32000 Am7 x02010 }
{C:Am/C x32210 Dm7 xx0211 }
{C:C/B x22010 Am7/G 302010}
T[C]hey had the best selection
They were [F]poisoned 
with pro[C]tection
There was [C]nothing [C/B]that 
they [Am7]needed [Am7/G]
[F]nothing left to [G]find
They were [C]lost in 
rock formations
Or [F]became park 
bench mut[C]ations
On the the [C]sidewalks 
[C/B]and in the [Am7]stations[Am7/G] 
they were [F]waiting [G]waiting

{C:Cmaj7 x32000 Am7 x02010 }
{C:Am/C x32210 Dm7 xx0211 }
{C:C/B x22010 Am7/G 302010}
[F]So I got bored and 
[G]left them there
They were [C]just dead 
weight to [F]me
[F]Better down the [G]road 
without that [C]load[Cmaj7][Cmaj7][C]
[F]Brings back the time I 
was [G]eight or nine
I was [C]watching my 
Mamas [Am7]TV[Am7/G]
It was that [Dm7]great Grand Canyon 
rescue episod[G]e
With the [C]vulture 
glides descending
On an [F]asphalt 
highway [C]bending
Through [C]libraries [C/B]and 
muse[Am7]ums[Am7/G]    
[F]galaxies and [G]stars

{C:Cmaj7 x32000 Am7 x02010 }
{C:Am/C x32210 Dm7 xx0211 }
{C:C/B x22010 Am7/G 302010}
Down the [C]windy halls 
of friendship
To the [F]rose clipped by 
the [C]bullwhip
The [C]motel of [C/B]lost 
c[Am7]ompanions 
[Am7/G]wait's with [F]heated 
pool and [G]bar
[F]But me I'm not [G]stopping there
Got my o[C]wn row left to [F]hoe
[F]Just another [G]line in 
the field of [C]time[Cmaj7]

{C:Am7 x02010 Dm7 xx0211 }
{C:Am7/G 302010}
[F]When the thrashers come 
I'll be [G]stuck in the sun
Like the [C]dinosaurs 
in [Am7]shrines[Am7/G]
But I'll [Dm7]know the time has come 
to give whats [G]mine
