Once - The dogs have quit their barking
C G F
"Son," - my neighbor said to me.
C G F
"Know the emptiness of talking blue
C G F
the same old sheep."
C G F
Run - I'll do no more this walking
C G
Haunted by a past I just can't see
F
Anymore Anymore
C
But let me tell you I never planned
G
To let go of the hand that has been
F
Clinging by its thick country skin
C G F
To my yellow country teeth, To my yellow country teeth

C G F
Who - Will get me to a party?
C G F
Who - Do I have yet to meet?
C G
You - You look a bit like coffee
F C G F
And you taste a bit like me
C G F
How - Can I keep me from moving?
C G F
Now - I need a change of scenery, just listen to me
C
I won't pretend to

Understand the movement of the wind
F
Or the waves out in the ocean or how
C G
Like the hours I change softly slowly
F
Plainly blindly oh me oh my!
