[VERSE 1]
BmWell, the devil's blowing coal
BmThrough the smokestacks of your mind
BmDylan's hanging on the cross
BmThe piano's doing fine
BmJacob's on the ladder
BmSmoking candy cigarettes
BmThe chinaman's got heartburn
BmAnd a thousand TV sets
BmWith arms as big as airplanes
BmHe ripped his momma's blouse
BmThe preacher man is hiding now
BmBut we know he's in the house
[CHORUS]
And you'd Emthink I've depthed the fathoms
But you'd Abetter guess again
I don't Bmunderstand these spirits, no, I only channel them
singing Bmla da da da da da da da da da daaaah
la da da da da da da da da da da F#daaaah
lBma da da da da da da da da da da 
Emwooooaaaahhh la da Ada da Gda da F#da Bmda
[VERSE 2]
BmThe taxidermist picked me up
BmAt a quarter after ten
BmHe fixed my troubled mind
BmAnd then he took me home again
BmThe river's melting quickly
BmBut the sky has disappeared
BmThe Mohicans don't leave nothing
BmBut a single unshed tear
BmThe midway's closing down
BmBut it's been a lovely run
BmAnd fifty years means nothing
BmIf the town's been having fun
[CHORUS]
And you'd Emthink I've depthed the fathoms
But you'd Abetter guess again
I don't Bmunderstand these spirits, no, I only channel them
singing Bmla da da da da da da da da da daaaah
la da da da da da da da da da da F#daaaah
lBma da da da da da da da da da da 
Emwooooaaaahhh la da Ada da Gda da F#da Bmda

[VERSE 1]

Well, the devil's blowing coal

Through the smokestacks of your mind

Dylan's hanging on the cross

The piano's doing fine

Jacob's on the ladder

Smoking candy cigarettes

The chinaman's got heartburn

And a thousand TV sets

With arms as big as airplanes

He ripped his momma's blouse

The preacher man is hiding now

But we know he's in the house

[CHORUS]

And you'd think I've depthed the fathoms

But you'd better guess again

I don't understand these spirits, no, I only channel them

singing la da da da da da da da da da daaaah

la da da da da da da da da da da daaaah

la da da da da da da da da da da

Em A G F# Bm

wooooaaaahhh la da da da da da da da

[VERSE 2]

The taxidermist picked me up

At a quarter after ten

He fixed my troubled mind

And then he took me home again

The river's melting quickly

But the sky has disappeared

The Mohicans don't leave nothing

But a single unshed tear

The midway's closing down

But it's been a lovely run

And fifty years means nothing

If the town's been having fun

[CHORUS]

And you'd think I've depthed the fathoms

But you'd better guess again

I don't understand these spirits, no, I only channel them

singing la da da da da da da da da da daaaah

la da da da da da da da da da da daaaah

la da da da da da da da da da da

Em A G F# Bm

wooooaaaahhh la da da da da da da da
