Bugle Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em][D]
[Em]The [D]country is riddled with
social ills & aches,
But my [Em]heart is calmed by her embrace,
I'm [D]trying to tell something to the world,
- But [Em]my words are slurred & slow,
[D]Have you ever been
caught up in a dream,
where your [Em]legs were froze.
I was [D]left alone, with my
thoughts and my guitar.
But it felt [Em]hopeless,
Like the desire of the moth - for
the [D]star.[Em][D][Em]
[D]Sometimes... nothing seems unreal,
this [Em]strange little boy said
";Mister, play us your
guitar"; & I said [D]-
";No... I can't";
& put my geetar, in the [Em]car-
[D]Listening to the music of heaven & earth,
Have you ever thought
[Em]you were the
- Most important thing in the universe.
I didn't [D]know whether
to strengthen my
Weaknesses - or play to my strengths.
Yeah...
[Em]I was trapped in the triviality
[D]of[Em]
- everydayness.
I said.
[D]";There's magic in my head, girl.
but I only use [Em]it when I'm
depressed";
I don't suppose she heard me.
She [D]was [Em]too busy admiring her dress.
I said - just young [D]- & - well intentioned,
Who [Em]can save us now.
- the world rots...
I [D]did know the secret of
the [Em]universe
... only [D]I forgot!!
