    F                        F
She reads the leaves and she leads the life 
         F                        G
That she learned so well from the old wives 
        Am           G        F 
It's so strange to arrange it, you know I
         G
wouldn't change it
    Am                G      F
But hear me if you're near me, can I just
    G        
rearrange it?

    C7
The watchman covers me  

With his remedy 
                                 G
I can't see and it's hard to feel 
                  F             F
I think his magic might be real
 
C7 F F

F       C7                   F
I can't get to you from your garden gate
              F                    G
You know it's always locked by the magistrate  
             Am       G       F
Now he don't care why you cry, he thinks it's
G
just a lie  
   Am         G          F                  G
To get out, I don't doubt that you'd make a try

C7
If the good times get you through 
 
I know the dogs won't bother you 
                               G
We'll be gone in moonshine time  
                         F          F
I've got a place they'll never find 

C7 F F

           F                  F
You know I do believe in your hexagram  
            F                    G
But can you tell me how they all knew the plan?  
        Am      G             F        
Did you trip or slip on their gifts you know were
G
just a con? 
    Am                 G    F                  G
You knew it, why d'you do it, I've been hiding in

the dawn

C7
Now I must be on my way  

I guess you really have to stay  

Inside the mission walls  
G               F        F
Down in Modark, Arkansas
