untroubled only in my day dreams,
to the annoyance of someone or other,
They doubted my philosophy and this is what they said to me
oh you your right where you belong
But its blood from broken hearts that write the words to every song
a beautific smile, for all the sinners
i only i only i,
i see the serpent
oh you your green
you dont no wat love means
well let me tell you,
it tickes you pink oh yeah it likes to hear you scream,
fire an damn nation, lamntation.

I've been wandering east of Eden
   Chord diagramF#7F#7                  Chord diagramB7B7
Been lost, cold, lonesome as a sparrow in the rain
          Chord diagramE MajorE          Chord diagramC#C#
I found myself tumbling to a sinking feeling oh lor
      Chord diagramF#7F#7

i dont feel no shame

     Chord diagramE MajorE         Chord diagramE7E7

   Chord diagramE MajorE    Chord diagramC#C#    Chord diagramF#7F#7     Chord diagramB7B7
And it ain't nobody's business if I do

There's a slow train rumblin' east of a place called Eden
feel wind blowin' in proud as the trees upon the plain
a stranger's voice talked to me
Of liberty and freedom
It seems like he done gone wrong again
to a girl wears the hat like shame

Well he tasted the fruit of another
And when his margy when she discovered
Said she's gonna love him ten times more
Ain't nobody's business if she do

(eh what id she say to him
He said 'some men born rich, some men born poor,
But they're rich in other ways'
Into my heart his wisdom poured

It's no good crumblin, making tracks to live
Wel I laid my love down in the light
but should've seen all the things my shadow did

The filth and the fury, the fear and the pain
It's all disappearing now faster than the smoke from this old train
And it ain't nobody's business if it do
(one more time)
Ain't nobody's business if it do
