BRIDGE: E E7 E

A E E7 E
In the corner of the morning in the past
A E E7 E
I would sit and blame the master first and last
G A
All the roads were straight and narrow
G A
And the prayers were small and yellow
G G# E E7 E
and the rumour spread that I was aging fast
A C#m F#m D
Then I ran across a monster who was sleeping by a tree
F F# A G E E7 E E7 E
And I looked and frowned and the monster was me
A E E7 E
Well I said hello and I said hello
A E E7 E
And I asked why not and I replied I don't know
G A G A
So we asked a simple blackbird who was happy as can be
G G# E E7 E
And he laughed insane and quipped Kahil Gibran
A C#m F#m D
So I cried for all the others till the day was nearly through
F F# A G E E7 E E7 E
For I realised that Gods a young man too
SOLO: E
E E7 E
E E7 E
A E E7 E
So I said so long and I waved bye bye
A E E7 E
And I smashed my soul and traded my mind
G A G A
Got layed by a young bordello I was vaguely half asleep
G G# E E7 E
For which my reputation swept back home in drag
A C#m F#m D
And the moral of this magic spell negotiate my hide
F F# A G
When God did take my logic for a ride
E E7 E E7 E
Riding a long

D C G
He swallowed his pride and puckered his lips
D C G
And showed me the leather belt round his hips
D C
my knees were shaking my cheeks aflame
G D
He said you'll never go down to the Gods again
C G
Turn around go back
G
He struck the ground a cavern appeared
A
And I smelt the burning pit of fear
G
We crashed a thousand yards below
D
I said do it again do it again
C G
Turn around go back
D C G
His nebulous body swayed above
D C G
His tongue swollen with devils love
D C
The snake and I a venom high
G D
I said do it again do it again
C G
Turn around go back
G
Breathe breathe breathe deeply
A
And I was seething breathing deeply
G
A spitting sentry horned and tailed
D C G
Waiting for you
SOLO 2: A G D many times!
Ends on an A
