Four Winds
Intro: F x4
F
Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
Dm
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
Dm
His body's decomposing in containers tonight
F
In an abandoned building where
F
A squatter's made a mural of a Mexican girl
Dm
With fifteen cans of spray paint in a chemical swirl
Dm
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
F
Four winds blowing through her hair
G
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
C
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
Dm
She caves
Interlude: F
F
The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Qu'ran is mute
Dm
If you'd burn them all together you'd get close to the truth still
Dm
They're pouring over sanskrit on the ivy league moons
F
While shadows lengthen in the sun
F
Cast on a school of meditation built to soften the times
Dm
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
Dm
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
F
Four winds, cry until it comes
G
And it's the song of man
G
Slouching towards Bethlehem
C
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
G
It breaks, it breaks, (it breaks)
Interlude: G
C
Well, I went back, I rent a Cadillac, a company jet
Dm
Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps
Dm
All the way to Cassadega to commune with the dead
F
They said, "You'd better look alive"
F
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
Dm
In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east
Dm
I buried my ballast, I made my peace
F
With four winds, levelling the pines
G
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
C
She just can't remain with all that outer space
G
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves.
