Four Winds

Intro: FF x4

   FF
Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
     DmDm
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
   DmDm
His body's decomposing in containers tonight
     FF
In an abandoned building where

   FF
A augmentedA squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl
   DmDm
With fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl
    DmDm
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
       FF
Four winds blowing through her hair

        G+G
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
     C majorC
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
   DmDm
She caves

Interlude: FF

   FF
The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran is mute
     DmDm
If you'd burn them all together you'd get close to the truth still
     DmDm
They're pouring over sanskrit on the ivy league moons
        FF
While shadows lengthen in the sun

      FF
Cast on a school of meditation built to soften the times
   DmDm
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
    DmDm
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
       FF
Four winds, cry until it comes

       G+G
And it's the song of man
         G+G
Slouching towards Bethlehem
       C majorC
A augmentedA heart just can't contain all of that empty space
  G+G
It breaks, it breaks, (it breaks)

Interlude: G+G

       C majorC
Well, I went back, I rent a Cadillac, a company jet
    DmDm
Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps
    DmDm
All the way to Cassadega to commune with the dead
          FF
They said, "You'd better look alive"

      FF
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
     DmDm
In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east
  DmDm
I buried my ballast, I made my peace
          FF
With four winds, levelling the pines

        G+G
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
     C majorC
She just can't remain with all that outer space
   G+G
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves.


End on: A minorAm
