(This part is actually played on bass, but I use it to fill the first few bars 
before the guitar comes in.)
Well I'm free, I'm free like the world, I am
I'm higher than the moon and so much higher still to go
I'm dancing on the silver star, 
my boot prints on the white-wall tire
(Guitar begins)
CSee, see everyGone's beautiful
CBeautiful and terrified by the G#sun 
that's rising Cmup in the east
I gotta Gfind my way home G#soon 
or I'll just Cdrown in my deGlight
      CAnd if I stumble my way Gthrough another year of Amblindness
I don't deserve to come down Ffrom these Dmdrugs inside my Cbrain
And if I fumble my way Gto the people who are Ammindless
I guess I get what's coming Fto me and my Dmevil wicked CwaysG  
CRun, faster than Glight through me
You can Csoak my nerves in this vibration
G#Riding through your imagination
CBoot prints on the yellow fire
My Gfootprints on the gilded star
But Cmdeath, it's more than I can Gbear tonight 
It's Cnot the thought of being gone or the G#dark that I don't like
But more conGfused by the G#emptiness of Cbreath (where does it Ggo?)
      CAnd if I stumble my way Gthrough another year of Amblindness
I don't deserve to come down Ffrom these Dmdrugs inside my Cbrain
And if I stumble my way Gto the people who are Ammindless
I guess I get what's coming Fto me and my Dmevil wicked Cways
The rules I make have just lost the way 
like Gguarantees and beds we make
While Amlife goes on for bread and cake
the Fground it rumbles Dmcracks and shakes
CUnderfoot the bugs and snakes
they Gcarry us, they carry us aAmway from here
And underground it's Fhappy deep
where Dmyou go down
Oh, Challelujah, God is great
You're Gnever wrong, you're never late
'Cause Amhe designs these pretty things
I, Fwhen I die, I Dmsimply go aClone.

(This part is actually played on bass, but I use it to fill the first few bars

before the guitar comes in.)

Well I'm free, I'm free like the world, I am

I'm higher than the moon and so much higher still to go

I'm dancing on the silver star,

my boot prints on the white-wall tire

(Guitar begins)

C G

See, see everyone's beautiful

C G#

Beautiful and terrified by the sun

that's rising up in the east

G G#

I gotta find my way home soon

C G

or I'll just drown in my delight

C G Am

And if I stumble my way through another year of blindness

F Dm C

I don't deserve to come down from these drugs inside my brain

G Am

And if I fumble my way to the people who are mindless

F Dm C G

I guess I get what's coming to me and my evil wicked ways

C G

Run, faster than light through me

You can soak my nerves in this vibration

Riding through your imagination

Boot prints on the yellow fire

My footprints on the gilded star

Cm G

But death, it's more than I can bear tonight

C G#

It's not the thought of being gone or the dark that I don't like

G G# C G

But more confused by the emptiness of breath (where does it go?)

C G Am

And if I stumble my way through another year of blindness

F Dm C

I don't deserve to come down from these drugs inside my brain

G Am

And if I stumble my way to the people who are mindless

F Dm C

I guess I get what's coming to me and my evil wicked ways

The rules I make have just lost the way

like guarantees and beds we make

While life goes on for bread and cake

F Dm

the ground it rumbles cracks and shakes

Underfoot the bugs and snakes

G Am

they carry us, they carry us away from here

And underground it's happy deep

where you go down

Oh, hallelujah, God is great

You're never wrong, you're never late

'Cause he designs these pretty things

F Dm C

I, when I die, I simply go alone.
