( jay farrar )
intro : harmonica solo
( same chords as a verse )
verse 1 :
G D
hunted down
G D/F#
someone said no story , no gain
Em7 Bm D5add9
wipe the clock right now
D/F# D
i despise what you crave
verse 2 :
G D
i remember you
G D/F#
when you wore a different face
Em7 Bm D5add9
never heard a story of anyone
D/F# D
who drove the black town insane
verse 3 :
G D
leaning on a stoplight
G D/F#
waiting for eventual change
Em7 Bm D5add9
once it mattered right now
D/F# D
it’s not so easy to gauge
verse 4 :
G D
every time
G D/F#
that you ask for more
Em7 Bm D5add9
it’s the sound that makes the colors go blind
D/F# D
[ no words on last line of this verse ]
chorus :
G Em7 Asus
and everything comes in threes
Em7 Asus
but your face shows two
Em7 Asus
lost in the watershed
D
way out of tune
harmonica solo
( same chords as a verse )
verse :
G D
ain’t it hard
G D/F#
when the spirit doesn’t catch you
Em7 Bm D5add9
gravity’s the winner , and it weighs you down
D/F# D
it weighs you down
harmonica solo
