This End of the Telescope
guitar chords lyrics
Standard tuning.
Capo 3rd fret
Now not everything is lined up, but you as a muscian should be able to deal with that
and if you are versed in a folk style you'll know how to improvise around this tabs
shortcomings with that said...Embellishments on everything. Corrections are welcome.

Intro (still haven�t figured it out completely
Variations on C/g D7/f# few times
Fm9 Em9 C/g D7/f# C/g g
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
I was born in the Summer of Sam --
C/g D7/f# g
Smaller and sooner than planned --
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
In the spitting image of a man
C/g D7/f# g
Raised by wolves on the fat of the land.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
Clear of romance, beauty, and damned
C/g D7/f# g
Tomorrow will come if she can.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
Just want a woman who can walk on a wire
C/g D7/f# g
With a trembling glass in her hand.
D7/f# C/g g
Over the hilltops the fire engine rolls,
D7/f# C/g D7/f#
Down the valley deeper still it goes;
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
Got my weapons out, I'm laying low
C/g D7/f# g
On this end of the telescope.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
Alone, you ramble the whole of the world
C/g D7/f# g
Through black-water jungles for bliss.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
It's feast or famine, you eat what you kill
C/g D7/f# g
There's no need to bring God into this.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
My heart is heavy and pressed to the bone,
C/g D7/f# g
Some people too heavy to hold.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
Salutations, take me as I am --
C/g D7/f# g
You can have me, or leave me alone.
D7/f# C/g g
Sun-kissed lemons in the graveyard below
D7/f# C/g D7/f#
Here in death you see new adventures grow.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
I see you at last but mostly ghost,
C/g D7/f# g
On this end of the telescope.
solo
C/g with embellishments (D7/f#) g
bridge
Em g
This will not be easy
Am/f#
Word's out the doctor is not coming in
Em g (embellishments)
This genie is too angry to go back
D7/f# (without seventh)
Into the bottle again.
then another solo which I don't have the talents to tab
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
Closer than ever, and covered in birds
C/g D7/f# g
A bone-colored moon fills the west.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
Now, throats will be slashed, and flags will unfurl
C/g D7/f# g
As time will divide us in gangs.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
Now, years of progress digging the sand
C/g D7/f# g
Companions we made didn't last.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
Now, lousy lovers do well with their hands
C/g D7/f# g
But I'll reach you like nobody can.
D7/f# C/g g
Now, slow and easy, you let your paddle go
D7/f# C/g D7/f#
Down a the bottom there is more hell to row.
C/g D7/f# g D7/f# C/g
I see clear at last: I love, I loathe,
C/g D7/f# g
On this end of the telescope.
