[E] [B]
[Em] [B]
[E]
[E] There may be an omen moment, [Em] but there's very few folk in [E] focus.
[Em] Not the [C] first, not the [Am] last, [E] not the least.
You needn't be well to be wealthy, but you've got to be whole to be holy.
[B] Fetch the [C] robe, fetch the [Am] cloth, fetch the priest.
[E] Oh, [Am] this planet [F#m] of ours is [Am] a mess, I [D] bet heaven's [Em] the same.
[E] Look [Am] the man and [D] said, son, as [Am] a friend, tell me what's in a [B] name.
[A] I don't need a name.
[Em]
They have [E] the state of statesmen and the key to what [Em] motivates them.
[B] On [C] the left, on the [A] right, on the [E] nails.
Still I don't see a man in a mansion, [Em] but an accurate [E] pen won't haunt ya.
Go to [C] town, go to [Am] hell, [A] go to [E] jail.
[Am] There's bars and [D] saloons where [Am] the jukebox plays [D] blues in the [B] night.
Tell [Am] the man and [D] said, son, time [Am] to go, we [D] could both use [B] some light.
I'm not a widow, [Em] baby, I'm not [E] a widow.
In an age of cages, the tale of an ape [Em] escaping,
[E] [Em] in [C] the search for [A] some truth he [E] can [A#] use.
But many a drunk got drunker, mostly a thinker, thunker.
[Em] Set [C] the place, set [Am] the time, set the [E] fuse.
[E]
[Am] The optimist laughed [C] and the [Am] pessimist cried in [E] his way.
The man and [A] said, son, take [Am] a word, they'll all wake in [B] time.
Love I can't [E] control.
[Em]
[E]
[Em]
[C] [Am]
[Em] The madman and I got drunk [E] till both thought we all were thunking.
And [C] we laughed all [A] the way to [Em] the stars.
[Am] The optimist asked for a taste [A] of the [E] pessimist's wine.
[Am]
He looked mad and said, son, how do you feel?
I said, me, I [B] feel fine.
We need to get into [E] temptation, into temptation.
[Em] I [B] said, into [E] temptation.
[B] I [E] need my allocation.
Recreation.
I want a revolution.
Rehabilitation.
Not a hesitation.
Give me a chance.
Give me back the empty shadows.
Give me this chance.
