[E] When I was courted by [A] the loved and [E] reckless I made my [A] case to the highest [C#m] _
[E] names
But they drowned me out [A] in _ _
[C#m] hallelujahs
[A] I'm fucked up, [E] fucked up with grace
And just where you'd think I would I [A] found [F#] my [E] service
In the dim light of [A] a West Town [E] bar
Shouting benedictions [A] out to feed our fire
[C#m] Amen, [E] amen, what men we [C#m] are _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
And as the oak [A] and the smoke rings [F#] paint [E] you
[F#] In the glow [E] of Van Dyke Brown
The [C#m] sea danced so free I can't hear nothing
Head boys, head boys bend down
You said I'd suit you like a farmer's armor
And feel it's a call, it's my [D] [E] way
[C#m] And now you heal [A] me of an [C#m] orphan's sorrow
[E] Let his veins wash away _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Because I was lost like a politician
Caught up in a [C#m] game of [E] tug of war
When I found my feet slipping, [A] found [E] myself wishing I knew
What it was that I ever stood for
[C#m] Then you call me [A] and I'm just my [E] mother
Try [C#m] to shake me [A] and I'm [E] just my [C#m] father
And [A] I love [C#m] those songs I wrote _ for [E] hours _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ [E] Now on the day come _ that [C#m] I am low
[E] _ In the case [C#m] of Van Dyke [E] Brown
One ear of my soul can shout it out in _ benediction
One ear of singing all dealt [C#m] with [E] grace
I wanna see you dancing in the [C#m] glow of sundown
All around, _ all around, so free, so free
All around my [E] grave
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
