[Intro]
B7 Em B
B7 Em B
 
[Verse 1]
E           A       E
You wanna make Van Goghs
                    B7
Raise 'em up like sheep
E               A    E
Make 'em out of Eskimos
                   B7
And women if you please
E                   A
Make 'em nice and normal
E                   A
Make 'em nice and neat
F#                     B
You see him with his shotgun there?
F#                B
Bloodied in the wheat?
    B7
Oh what do you know about
Em                    B
Living in Turbulent Indigo?
 
[Verse 2]
E             A          E
Brash fields crude crows
            B7
In a scary sky
      E          A     E
In a golden frame, roped off
                 B  B7
Tourists guided by
          E                 A
Tourists talking about the madhouse
E                  A
Talking about the ear
F#                     B
The madman hangs in fancy homes
F#                     B
They wouldn't let him near!
      B7
He'd piss in their fireplace!
       Em                          B
He'd drag them through Turbulent Indigo

[Verse 3]
E               A           E
"I'm a burning hearth" he said
                  B7
"People see the smoke
      E          A     E
But no one wants to warm themselves
                 B  B7
Sloughing off a coat
     E                 A
And all my little landscapes
        E             A
All my yellow afternoons
F#                     B
Stack up around this vacancy
F#                     B
Like dirty cups and spoons
      B7
No mercy Sweet Jesus!
    Em                   B
No mercy from Turbulent Indigo
