Intro:
C G G C
Verse:
C
Well I swung through town
G
Shining like a new quarter
G
Felt something sharp rise up within me
C
when I Crossed the border
C
Stopped at the gas station payphone
G
I let my fingers fly
G
The wicked impulses were dying but I
C
Couldn't let them die
Chorus:
C
And we were over at your place, singing about the old times
Dm
No one had anything to prove
F C G F F# Gm F#
I ate so much carrion that I could not move
C
I was bloated
Solo:
C G G C
Verse 2:
C
When I saw your kitchen
G
Glistening like the old country
G
All your cups and glasses
C
Lined up in front of me
C
And I stopped at the faucet for a minute
G
Waited 'til you came in to see what was wrong
G
Your fingers brushed my ribs playfully
C
And I played along
Chorus 2:
C
And you had your tongue in my mouth
Dm
Your eyes glistening in the light
F C G F F# Gm F#
I ate rich raw carrion 'til I couldn't think right
C
I was full
