(same as first)

Quiet, Ruby, someone's coming
Approach with stealth
Oh, it's just your precious American Underground
and it is born of wealth
With not a writer in the lot
Sapphires vie for your attention
She dances they mean well in their way
The Priest says "Please, I can't stand my knees
And I can't bear her raven tresses caught up in the breeze like that!"

C*         Am*          C*          Am*

(same as first)
Thats it doctor, do your worst
Cut me open, remove this thirst
Hidden, but near
A series of visions, I won't repeat them here
I won't repeat them here


C*         Am*          C*          Am*


        FM7         G
Typical me, typical me
FM7                   G
   I gave my cargo to the sea
           FM7
I gave the water what it always wanted to

C       Am                 C
be      Ahhhhhhh  Ahhhh Ah Ah  AhAh
Am
Ahhhhhhh  Ahhhh Ah Ah

    G                              FM7                      G
Ah, look, it's no contest" - Proud Mary said as she lit the fuse
  FM7                       G
I wanted you. I wanted your blues
FM7   G     C*      Am*
 -    Yo-ur Blues

C*     Am*

    FM7                  G      FM7                  G
the elegance of an empty room - Look I made you this broom
            FM7                G
A predicate warning to the sun - this Night advances

Am!     Am$     C!    C7!     (see Below)

    FM7
The sketchy crowd shows me drawings, they're alright
   G
An alternately dim and frightful waste
    FM7
Now come on honey let's go outside
       G
You disrupt the world's disorder just by virtue of your grace, you know
 FM7                 G  FM7     G
 -  I didn't want to go  -  but leave I must...
   FM7
As gratifying as this dust was

C!     C7!
Am!     Am$     C!    C7!
Am!     Am$     C!    C7!

F                         G
