Intro: A (play the lowest note of the chord first then strum...just listen
to the record.)
AI wake up and look upon your Epainted eyelids
The F#world is your oyster and the Etrash bags are your kids
AThe ceiling is invisible there's a Ebird sinkin thru the sky
F#And every hour that passes is Eteachin me how to cry
DCuz it's lonely heFre in the Augly part of F#town
The Bbuildings are all vacant and the Etelephones are down
AThere's a police siren singing like a Etiger with no skin
F#The sewer drain is glowing and I Edon't know what state I'm in
AAnd the river is on fire there's Echemicals and debris
F#And all the roads are blocked off they're Ejust too hard to see
DSo cancel my appoiFntments anAd set up a whF#ole new show
BCuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a Elife to call my own
(At this point Harmonica solo plays over chord progression A-E-F#-E)
ASo get me a plate of money get Eme a blanket and a chair
F#The limitations are limitless they're Efloating thru the air
DCuz it's real and Fit's true Athe things I F#see in you
BAnd there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the Eclearest dream
that ever drifted byA  
Play A until fade out
strumming pattern. Have fun.
