Intro: D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD

Verse
D MajorD 	 	 	     G+G
Well, today there's no salvation
             	 	     A augmentedA
The band's packed up and gone
                             D MajorD
And I'm left standing with my penny, in my hand
D MajorD
There's a big crowd at the station
 G+G 	 	 	 A augmentedA
Where the blind man sings his song
                    	 	    D MajorD
But he sees, Lord, what they can't understand

      G+G
It's the 33rd of August, Lord
       	 	     D MajorD    E minorEm
And I'm finally coming down
     	 	      A augmentedA 	       D MajorD
Eight days from Sunday finds me, Saturday bound

D MajorD 	 	 	          G+G
Once I stumbled through the darkness
            A augmentedA
Fell down to my knees
    	 	 	 D MajorD
A augmentedA thousand voices screaming in my brain
D MajorD
Woke up, in a squad car
      G+G 	        A augmentedA
Busted down for vagrancy
  	 	 	 	     D MajorD
And outside my cell, it sure as hell, it looked like rain

D MajorD 	 	 	        G+G
Now I've got my, dangerous feeling
         A augmentedA 	 	 	 	    D MajorD
Under lock and chain, I've killed my violent nature with a smile
D MajorD 	 	 	        	      G+G
Though the demons danced and sang their songs
    	 	 A augmentedA
Within my fevered brain
  	 	 	      D MajorD
Not all my God-like thoughts, Lord, were defiled

D MajorD 	 	 	        	 	  E minorEm   A augmentedA
Yesterday's newspaper, forecast no rain for today
  	 	     D MajorD
Yesterday's news was old news, so I threw it away
D MajorD
Some time's at night, Lord, you know
       E minorEm  G+G
I can still feel the pain
 	          A augmentedA
And, outside my cell, it sure as hell, it looks like rain
