[Intro]

[Verse 1]

B E B

When I receive the blessing I've got coming

A E B

I'm going to raise a nice cold glass of water

And toast the living and the dead

Who've gone before me and my head

B F# B

Will throb like an old wound reopening

[Verse 2]

B A E B

When I get off the bus down there my children

A E B

They all are going to greet me at the station

B E

Like gypsies they will dance around me and

The choral droning sounds their voices make will

F# B

Saturate the evening

[Verse 3]

B A E B

When I get off the wheel I'm going to stop

A E B

And make amends to everyone I've wounded

And when I wave my magic wand

Those few who've slipped the surly bonds

B F# B

Will rise like salmon at the spawning

[Outro]
