[N] _ _ _ _ [B] I've walked through these woods back here.
I've walked all through these woods for an hour.
I [Bm] found 12 [E] camps, 12 homeless camps.
They're abandoned.
And that's because when this festival begins,
the cops sweep through here and get all those people out.
You moved [A] in on somebody's home here,
you [E] got to understand that, you know?
Because they'll be sure to be back when all of us are gone.
So you remember that.
_ _ _ He is propped upright in some last lost corner of his life,
[A] waiting the only new thing left to see.
He [E] cultivates memories rich and brown like gardens.
_ Hardly 80, his eyes [A] already inward turning,
he has banished himself to worlds of fine gray dust.
Tonight, wrapped around a chair,
[B] he rolls another [F#m] damp cigarette
and sends old [B] blue clouds on their familiar reach
into the bag [A] of weathered [E] yarns.
And like some deft and protoplasmic being,
[A] turns himself inside out to feed [E] on the silence.
[B] _ _ [F#m] _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ I spent my whole life [B] making somebody rich.
[A] I busted my ass for [B] that son of a bitch.
And he [E] left me to die [A] like a dog in a ditch.
And he [B] told me I'm [E] all used up.
[A] He used up my labor, he [E] used up my [A] time.
He plundered my body and [B] squandered my mind
[E] and gave me a [A] pension of handouts and wine
[B] and told me I'm all [E] used up.
My kids are in a hock [B] to a god you call [A] work,
slaving their lives off for [B] some other jerk.
And [E] my youngest in [A] Frisco just made ship and clerk
and he don't know I'm [E] all used up.
[A] My young people are reaching for power and gold
but don't have respect for [B] anything old.
[E] For pennies they're [A] born and for promises sold.
[Bm] Someday they'll all be used [E]
up.
They use up the oil, they [B] use up the [A] trees.
They use up the air and they [B] use up the sea.
[E] Well, how about you, [A] friend, and how about me?
[B] What's left when we're all [E] used up?
[A] I'll finish my life in [E] this grumpy hotel.
[A] It's all lousy with bugs and my [B] God, what a smell.
But my [E] plumbing still [A] works and I'm clear as a fell.
[B] Don't tell me I'm all [E] used up.
_ [A] Outside my window the world passes by.
Gives me a handout and spits in my [E] eye.
And no one can tell [A] me because no one knows why.
[B] I'm living when I'm [E] all used up.
_ [Am] Sometimes in my dreams I [E] sit by a tree.
[A] My life is a book of how [B] things used to be.
And [E] kids gather [A] around and they listen to me.
And they [B] don't think I'm all [E] used up.
And [A] there's songs and there's laughter and [E] things I can do.
[A] And all that I've learned I [B] can give back to you.
[E] And I'd give my last breath just [A] to make it come true.
[B] And no, I'm not [E] all used up.
[A] They use up the oil and they [E] use up the trees.
[A] They use up the [F] air and [Bm] they use up the sea.
