Verse 1:
D F#m G D
Well the multitude assembled and tried to make the noise
D F#m G A
Them black blind poet generals and restless loud white boys
Bm A G D
But time's grew thin and the axis grew somehow incomplete
G A D
Where instead of child lions we had aging junkie sheep

Verse 2:
D F#m G D
Well how many wasted have I seen signed "Hollywood or bust"
D F#m G A
And left to ride the ever ghostly Arizona gusts
Bm A G D
Cheerleader tramps and kids with big amps sounding in the void
G A D
High society vamps, ex-heavyweight champs mistaking soot for soil
Chorus:
D F#m G D F#m G
So break me now big Mama, as Old Faithful breaks the day
D F#m G D F#m G
Believe me my good Linda, the aurora will shine the way
Bm A G
The confederacy's in my name now, the hounds are held at bay
D G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4
The axis needs a stronger arm, do you feel your muscles play
Verse 3:
D F#m G D
Well the doorstep blanket weaver, Madonna pushes bells
D F#m G A
From house to house I see her giving last kisses and wishing well
Bm A G D
To every gypsy mystic hero that the kids might find a place
G A D
Who get lost forever, mom and pop, on their weekends out in space
Verse 4:
D F#m G D
Well sons they search for fathers, but the fathers are all gone
D F#m G A
The lost souls search for saviors, but saviors don't last long
Bm A G D
Those nameless questless renegade brats who live their lives in song
G A D
They run the length of a candle with a goodnight whisper then they're gone
Chorus:
D F#m G D F#m G
So break me now big Mama, as Old Faithful breaks the day
D F#m G D F#m G
Believe me my good Linda, the aurora will shine the way
Bm A G
The confederacy's in my name now, the hounds are held at bay
D G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4
The axis needs a stronger arm, do you feel your muscles play
Yeah!
Solo:
D F#m G D

G A D Dsus4 D Dsus4
Verse 5:
D F#m G D
Well the missions are filled with hermits, they're looking for a friend
D F#m G A
The terraces are filled with cat-men just looking for a way in
Bm A G D
Those orphans jumped on silver mountains lost in celestial alleyways
G A D
They wait for that old tramp Dog Man Moses, he takes in all the strays
Verse 6:
D F#m G D
Now don't you grow on empty 🏷Legends, or lonely cradle songs
D F#m G A
Billy the Kid was just a bowery boy who made a living twirling his guns
Bm A G D
The night she's long and lanky, and she speaks in a mother tongue
G A D
She lullabies the refugees with an amplifier's hum
Chorus:
D F#m G D F#m G
So break me now big Mama, as Old Faithful breaks the day
D F#m G D F#m G
Believe me my good Linda, the aurora will shine the way
Bm A G
The confederacy's in my name now, the hounds are held at bay
D G A D
The axis needs a stronger arm, do you feel your muscles play
Bm A G
The confederacy's in my name now, the hounds are held at bay
D G A D
The axis needs a stronger arm, do you feel your muscles play
