INTRO :   D   Dm      Am   G   F  C  
Hear me teDll how the Dmhounds of the bAmankers
Took my miGnd to the frFeaking riCdge
How the clDaims and the hoDmwling reminAmders
Kept my eyGes from their reFst at niCght
When the dogDs of the bDmank are upoAmn me
And they've cGome to repFossess my cCar
I'll be fDound at the bDmase of the Amcanyon
I'll be tGorn from the Fwreck of the Cmotor
All you Dmen that lDmive for the Amevening
Seven houGrs when the ligFht forgiCves
And you raDce like a dDmog when he's dreAmaming
And you waGit for the yaFnk of the hoCok
UnderstaDnd that the chains are maEgical
And they strAmain to keep you whGere you areC  
I'll be foDund at the Dmbase of the Amcanyon
I'll be Gtorn from the wFreck of the mCotor
Let the CGrane take bFack the enCgine
Let the cGrane take bFack the whCeel
And I feeGl that the Fworld shouCld come with me
When I riEde to the crack in the Aearth (x2)
Hear me tDell how you wDmalk into a dAmreamland
With a lGine from the bFack of your hCead
To the wheDel that revDmolves at the Amcenter
And you waGit for the yFank of the hCook
When the doDgs of the bank are upoEn me
And they've comAme to repossGess my caCr
I'll be foDund at the Dmbase of the cAmanyon
I'll be toGrn from the wFreck of the Cmotor
Let the CGrane take bFack the engCine
Let the cGrane take bFack the wheCel
And I feeGl that the Fworld should come wCith me
When I ridEe to the crack in the eAarth (x2)
When I ridEe to the crack in the eAarth, ah ha!
Solo:                          quick

When I riGde to the cFrack in the Cearth
Oh I feel Gyou should Fcome with mCe

D Dm Am G F C

INTRO :

D Dm Am

Hear me tell how the hounds of the bankers

G F C

Took my mind to the freaking ridge

D Dm Am

How the claims and the howling reminders

G F C

Kept my eyes from their rest at night

D Dm Am

When the dogs of the bank are upon me

G F C

And they've come to repossess my car

D Dm Am

I'll be found at the base of the canyon

G F C

I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor

D Dm Am

All you men that live for the evening

G F C

Seven hours when the light forgives

D Dm Am

And you race like a dog when he's dreaming

G F C

And you wait for the yank of the hook

D E

Understand that the chains are magical

Am G C

And they strain to keep you where you are

D Dm Am

I'll be found at the base of the canyon

G F C

I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor

G F C

Let the Crane take back the engine

G F C

Let the crane take back the wheel

G F C

And I feel that the world should come with me

E A

When I ride to the crack in the earth (x2)

D Dm Am

Hear me tell how you walk into a dreamland

G F C

With a line from the back of your head

D Dm Am

To the wheel that revolves at the center

G F C

And you wait for the yank of the hook

D E

When the dogs of the bank are upon me

Am G C

And they've come to repossess my car

D Dm Am

I'll be found at the base of the canyon

G F C

I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor

G F C

Let the Crane take back the engine

G F C

Let the crane take back the wheel

G F C

And I feel that the world should come with me

E A

When I ride to the crack in the earth (x2)

E A

When I ride to the crack in the earth, ah ha!

Solo: quick
