Broken Parakeet Blues : Intro - D A G D A
D
East of the village and west of the trees
G
Up on the high ground where the soldiers would stand
D
Cooling themselves in the sulfurous breeze
A G
It seemed like something to lose
D
The houses were filled with flattering hosts
G
In tight shirts and compliments for soldiers and ghosts
D
Up on the high ground blowing their loads
A G
For the cowgirls left back home
D
How can you say there’s nothing to lose
A
Singing your broken parakeet blues
G
On the side of the highway lighting the fuse
D A
Black like the crows from the cattlecar fumes
D
Yeah, up on the highway near 29 Palms
A
I saw busloads of soldiers rolling along
G
And people like crows on the side of the road
D A
Waving goodbye to lovers and sons
D
The soldiers were boys, there were brown ones and fat ones
A
White ones and cool ones and camouflaged black ones
G
Sweet ones and cruel ones but I didn’t see
D A
Anybody I thought had money like me
D
Some were sleeping, some dreaming, some quietly weeping
A
Out of 29 Palms the buses kept creeping
G
Right through the desert and out to the shore
D A
29 Palms won’t see ’em no more
D
How can you say there’s nothing to lose
A
Singing your broken parakeet blues
G
On the side of the highway lighting the fuse
D A
Black like the crows from the cattlecar fumes
D
How can you just wave farewell to them
A
Knowing what you know and where you have been
G
On the side of the highway lighting the fuse
D A
Singing your broken parakeet blues
