Cars and trucks, drive by me on the corner
when I'm alright, standing time before the signal
When I see the light, I feel like more than just a number
And I stand by you, or else we just don't see the others

4. Intro (G and E) 4 times
5. Main Riff (8 times, last 4 with lyrics)
Bikes and vans, drive right by me on the desert
but I'm alright, standing underneath the hot sun
when I see the light, I feel like more than just a number
and I stand by you, or else we just don't see the others
6. Fill (3 times)
"computer age" (on third time)

D A Bm F#
Precious metal lies, molded into highways
G D G A
Run through me
D A Bm F#
Days and nights, weeks and months and seasons

Rolling through me

9. Fill (3 times)
10. Intro (4 times)
11. Main Riff (8 times, last 4 with lyrics)
I need you, to let me know if there's a heartbeat
let it pound and pound, and I'll be flyin like a freebird
you need me, like ugly needs a mirror
and day by day, i guess our eyes are getting clearer
12. End with the intro (try E and G power chords up on 7 and 10)
There are bits of lead throughout the song but i'll leave that to you
since I don't play them. Just make sure there's plenty of distortion
on all guitars. Neil would want it that way.

You stay in your village, and I will stay in mine.
If your sheep come to eat our grass, we will kill you.
We may kill you anyway to get your grass for our sheep if we run short.
Anyone who tries to make us change our ways is a witch, and we will kill him.
Stay out of our village.
"The Neolithic Ethic" -- formulated by anthropologist Carleton S. Coon
