THE END

D MajorD           C majorC        D MajorD
This is the end, beautiful friend.
             C majorC       D MajorD
This is the end, my only friend, the end
   C majorC    G+G       D MajorD
of our elaborate plans, the end
   C majorC             D MajorD
of everything that stands, the end,
    C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
no safety or surprise, the end.
  C majorC                D MajorD
I'll never look into your eyes again.

        C majorC             D MajorD
Can you picture what will be,
   G7G7         D MajorD
so limitless and free,
 C majorC          D MajorD          G+G          D MajorD
desp'rately in need of some stranger's hand,
    C majorC          D MajorD
in a  desp'rate land.


D MajorD
Lost in a roman wilderness of pain,
and all the children are insane... x 2
waiting for the summer rain.
There's danger on the edge of town,
Ride the king's highway.
Weird scenes inside the goldmine;
ride the king's highway west, baby.
Ride the snake... x 2
to the lake,
the ancient lake, baby.
The snake is long,
seven miles;
ride the snake,
he's old and his skin is cold.
The West is the best... x 2
Get here and we'll do the rest.
The blue bus is calling us... x 2
Driver, where you taking us?.. x 2

(spoken)

D MajorD
The Killer awoke before dawn,
he put his boots on,
he took a face from the ancient gallery,
and he walked on down the hall.
He went to the room where his sister lived,
and then he paid a visit to his brother,
and then he walked on down the hall.
And he came to a door,
and he looked inside,
"Father?"
"Yes, son?"
"I want to kill you.
Mother I want to....."
Come on, baby, take a chance with us,
and meet me at the back of the blue bus... x 3
Come on, yeah.
