Yeah, the words were a pain. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me
out there to revise this.
Anyway, very simple song. The intro chords are Em and C.
Verse:

G Gsus4 G Gsus4 (repeat)
C
I'm closer to the golden dawn, I can't believe the wagon's gone,
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
It's history...
(C, G, Gsus4 through all of the verses)
A#
I'm frightened by the total goal,
C
I'm drawing to the ragged hole(?)
G Em C
And I ain't got the wagon anymore,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/dinosaur_jr/quicksand_crd.html ]
C Am G Gsus4
No I ain't got the wagon anymore...
C G Gsus4 (through the verse)
I'm the twisted name...
A#
Should I leave the engine on,
C
To listen to that mountain song,
G Em C
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought...
C Am G
And I ain't got the wagon anymore...
G D Em
Don't believe in yourself
A D
Don't deceive with believe
Em C
The knowledge comes with deperate ease(?)
D G Em A
Ahh oh....
C G Gsus4 (through the verse)
Not too stable hangin' by a string...
A#
If I don't explain what you oughta know
C
You can tell me all about it at the next ball show
G Em C
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
C Am G
And I ain't got the power anymore...
G D Em (same as before)
Don't believe in yourself...
