[G] I was [C] driving across the [G] burning desert [Bb] when I spotted [Eb] six jet [Bb] planes
white [Bm] vapor trails across [C] the [G] bleak [C] terrain
It was the hexagram of the [Em] heavens, it [Bm] was the strings of my [Am] guitar

It's [Bb] _ [Eb] so hard to [Bb] obey his [C] sad request _ of [Bm] me to [G] kindly stay [C] away _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So this is how I [Em] hide the hurt [Bm] as the road _ [Am] leads, cursed in charm
