Intro: (each chord is only strummed once)
Cm
Back in the summer of '91
   G
An angel with a lizard's tongue
    Cm                         G    G*
Was screming for a holy broken nose
Cm
Linked to every class of men
G
Sprung out from the sparkling sins
Cm                           G
Leaning on the cold electric stove

Chorus 1:
             Cm     G              Cm
On a country road I swerved to the side
                  G       Cm
Trying to avoid a country bumpkin
                      G             Cm
Everyone's in line to meet with the man
                           G   Cm
Who blatantly inspired his generation

Bridge 1:
                    Fm
When they shake his hand and their fingers explode
                  G
Breaking both our necks by the tips of our toes
                  Fm                      Cm
Then they turn to me, cause you died I suppose
                    G
But I can't seem to glance fast enough to be sure

Chorus 2:
               Cm         G            Cm
Back to summer days, cold hands on the beach
                      G         Cm
Memories of thrills designed to please you
                         G                   Cm
Down the fragrant path I strayed towards the bath
                    G       Cm
Suddenly I lived to learn to feed you

Bridge 2:
               Fm
Down on bended knee, where I've been for a while
               G
Set the record straight in the old fashioned style
               Fm                              Cm
Never took too much, though I should have made more
                 G
You are still my friend, though you were not before


Instrumental
End on Cm
