Verse:

It was late one night, I was counting out my stitches
D                         G
Laying by the side of the road
        G
I was a long time gone, slipping off my britches
D                            G
Feeling like it's time to go home

    G
And in this dream, Bill Tecumseh Sherman
D                          G
Glowered at the foot of my bed
       G
He was long and lean, he spoke in perfect German
    D                      G
And I recorded all that he said
      D                      G
Yeah, I recorded all that he said
        D

Verse:
       G
When I woke next day, layered in the lashings
D                          G
Feeling for the hole in my head
      G
I was thinking 'bout my dad, thinking 'bout the nashings
   D                             G
Of all the bitter things that he said
      D                                   G
Yeah, all the worrying things that he had said
       D

Verse:
        G
Well it came to pass that everything had ended
    D                          G
The world was just a grubby balloon
    G
And I spoke up, said "Sorry if I've offended"
     D                               G
This voice came from the back of the room
    D                              G
Oh, screaming from the back of the room
   D
It said:
