[Verse 1]
D                  G
To which shepherd’s field
                   D
Did which angels descend?
                       G
And what’s this about eternal non-existence at the end?
D                    G
A stranger’s face appeared—
                    D
They say he lost his mind
                      G
(Or too much found his mind?)
                 D
I hear it all the time

[Verse 2]
                  G
Vibrations rose in waves
                   D
From a sea of discontent
                           G
Dad used to talk about for days
                         D
I finally tasted what he meant
                    G
Your carcass on the ground
                          D
Brought vultures to their eyes
                           G
My frontal lobe is shutting down
                         D
I bet you hear it all the time

[Verse 3]
D                  G                         D
To which shepherd’s field did which angels descend?
                    G                                D
Or is blessedness revealed to those of us who best pretend?
                   G                        D
Some counterfeit ideas form ideas all their own
                         G                        D
I watched them spread for years to my unsuspecting bones
                            G                             D
And the nights my heart was tired you sang your saccharine song
                       G                               D
But when your mouth was quiet was the sweetest sound of all
                   G                        D
"Soon our ransomed souls will leave this age behind
                     G                       D
For streets of solid gold", I hear it all the time

[Bridge]
D                  G
On a West Virginia road
D                  G
On a West Virginia road
D                  G
On a West Virginia road
C G                D
I did just as I was told
