C                               G         F
Once - The dogs have quit their barking
C                             G      F
"Son," - my neighbor said to me.
C                        G      F
"Know the emptiness of talking blue
                 C      G   F
the same old sheep."

C                          G         F
Run - I'll do no more this walking
C                               G    
Haunted by a past I just can't see
        F
Anymore Anymore

                    C
But let me tell you I never planned
                               G
To let go of the hand that has been 
                               F
Clinging by its thick country skin
                       C                       G   F
To my yellow country teeth, To my yellow country teeth

C                            G      F
Far - Far away from West Virginia
C                      G         F
I - Will try  New York City
                     C
Explaining that the sky holds the
                              G
Wind the sun rushes in and a child
                    F
With a shotgun can shoot down
                 C
Honeybees that sting
                    G              F
But this boy could use a little sting. Alright.

C                       G         F
Who - Will get me to a party?
C                       G       F
Who - Do I have yet to meet?
C                          G
You - You look a bit like coffee
          F              C    G   F
And you taste a bit like me
C                         G        F
How - Can I keep me from moving?
C                         G    F
Now - I need a change of scenery, just listen to me

C
I won't pretend to
                               G
Understand the movement of the wind
                          F
Or the waves out in the ocean or how
          C                     G
Like the hours I change softly slowly
         F
Plainly blindly oh me oh my!
