Gm Gm/F
I tuned the devils harp
Gm/E D6/Gb
It was the last thing that I heard
Gm Gm/F
Before I walked the stretch of road
Gm/E D6/Gb
between Nagoya and absurd
Cm7
I meant to find my lover there
Gm Gm/F Gm/E
But I found a little bird
Eb Gm/D Cm7 Eb/Bb
She sang me how the world was made
Eb/A D6/Gb Gm
I hung on every word
Gm Gm/F
She told me why the rabbit cries
Gm/E D6/Gb
and why some stars were red
Gm Gm/F
She told me where the doper goes
Gm/E D6/Gb
to lay his weary head
Cm7
And that the world was incomplete
Gm Gm/F Gm/E
And the king would soon be dead
Eb Gm/D Cm7 Eb/Bb
She offered me her wing that night
Eb/A D6/Gb Gm
I took the road instead
Gm (3x0003)
C7 Gm
Maybe im back, baby
C7 Gm
Maybe im falling from the poplar tree
C7 Em C7 Gm
Carry me back, baby
Gm Gm/F
With borrowed pride I could not hide
Gm/E D6/Gb
I grew a sailors beard
Gm Gm/F
And as I walked to my innocence
Gm/E D6/Gb
My leaves disappeared
Cm7
Rented a room upon the hill
Gm Gm/F Gm/E
Where a marble cat appeared
Eb Gm/D Cm7 Eb/Bb
Showed me where the fire was
Eb/A D6/Gb Gm
And I had nothing to fear
Gm Gm/F
For all gods good and brotherhood
Gm/E D6/Gb
We drank til I was crowned
Gm Gm/F
Then a lady from the Everglades
Gm/E D6/Gb
pulled my ass up off the ground
Cm7
She kissed me four times on the cheek
Gm Gm/F Gm/E
And once upon the brow
Eb Gm/D Cm7 Eb/Bb
For a moment I believed that I
Eb/A D6/Gb Gm
had come for what I found

Gm Gm/F
Now I sit alone
Gm/E D6/Gb
with all the cracks in my guitar
Gm Gm/F
For all the miles Ive put behind
Gm/E D6/Gb
I havent come that far
Cm7
But we are all compelled to look
Gm Gm/F Gm/E
For the wind inside a jar
Gm (3x0003)
C7 Gm
Maybe im back, baby
C7 Gm
Maybe im falling from the poplar tree
C7 Em C7 Gm
Carry me back, baby
