[Verse 1]
Em/A Cm
The sky then opened up/ and from it came a light
G D
Where have you been? I caught it from the rye

[Verse 2]
Em/A Cm
Well I was in a canyon/ mingled with a tribe
G D D
Soon became my family as I became their kind

[Verse 3]
Em/A Cm
Sure I’m gettin’ older/ but younger than you still
G D
Where have you been? Was in the northern hills

[Verse 4]
Em/A Cm
Pickin’ up the daisies/ a child left behind
G D D7 D7 D7
As I put ’em by a tombstone/ pretendin’ it was mine

[Chorus]
Em Am
And it’s the changin’ of the walls
D G D
All my favorite paintings/ they keep on fallin’ down
Em Am
And I need savin’ by the grace of God
D G G D D7
But I know he’s off creatin’ /a-nother one like me

[Verse 5]
Em/A Cm
Lively live a lot/ then die beyond and rot

Where have you been? Just ponderin’ a thought

[Verse 6]
Em/A Cm
If nothin’s everlastin’/ and everything is lost

Then everyone around me is all I ever got

Sure I blame the order/ the government is real

Where have you been? Just trynna make deal

[Verse 8]

To the chief commander: be privy on the small
G D D7 D7 D7
Cos soon they’ll understand it/ the ice will fall to salt

[Chorus 2]
Em Am
And it’s the changin’ of the walls
D G D
All my favorite paintings/ they keep on fallin’ down
Em Am
And I need savin’ by the grace of God
D G G D D7
But I know he’s off creatin’ /a-nother one like me

Just let a cage bird sing prison tunes to pass the time
