[Verse 1]
[Em]Last night, [G]again
You were [Em]in my[G] dreams
[Em]Several expe[G]ndable limbs[D] were [C]at stake
[Em]You were[G] a prince, spinning [Em]rims[G]
[Em]All sent[G]iments indian- given
[D]and [C]half- baked
[Em]I wa[G]s brought in on a pala[Em]n qui[G]n
[Em]Made of the [G]many bodies of
[D]beautiful [C]women
[Em]Brought [G]to this place to be ex[Em]amined
[G]Swaying[Em] on an elep[G]hant
a prin[D]cess [C]of India

[Verse 2]
[Em]We both want[G] the very [Em]same[G] thing
We [Em]are p[G]raying
I am the [D]one [C]to save you
But you [Em]don't [G]even own
Your own violence
[Em]Run away[G] from home
Your [D]beard is still [C]blue
With [Em]the loneli[G]ness of you mighty men
With your [Em]jaws, [G]and fists, and guitars
And [C]pens, and your sug[Em]ar l[G]ip
But [Em]I've nev[G]er been to [Em]the[G]
firepits with you mighty [C]men
[Em]Who made

[Verse 3]
[G]you this way?
Who made [Em]you t[G]his way?
[Em]Who is going to [G]bear your
beau[D]tiful [C]children?
Do [Em]you think you can just [G]stop
When you're ready [Em]for [G]a change?
Who will [Em]take care of [G]you
When you're [D]old and [C]dying?
You burn [Em]in the Mekong

[Verse 4]
[G]
To prove [Em]your [G]worth
[Em]Go Long, go [G]Long
Right over [D]the edge [C]of the earth
You [Em]have been [G]wronged
Tore [Em]up since bi[G]rth
You have [Em]done [G]harm
[D]Others have [C]done worse
Will you [Em]tuck your

[Verse 5]
[G]shirt?
Will you leave [Em]it lo[G]ose?
You are [Em]badly [G]hurt
You're [D]a silly [C]goose

[Verse 6]
You are caked in [G]mud
And in [Em]blood, and [G]worse
Chew your [Em]bitter [G]cud
Grope your [D]little [C]nurse
[Em]Do you know why my

[Verse 7]
[G]ankles
are [Em]bound in [G]gauze
[Em]Sickly [G]dressage a princess
[D]of Ken[C]tucky?
In the middle [Em]of the [G]woods
Which were the prob[Em]able [G]cause
We [Em]danced in the [G]lodge
Like two [D]panting [C]monkeys
[Em]I will give you a

[Verse 8]
[G]call, for one [Em]last hur[G]rah
And if this [Em]tale [G]is tall,
forgive my scram[C]bling
But you [Em]keep [C]palm[G]ing
along [Em]the [G]wall
[Em]Moving at a blind [G]crawl
But always [C]rambling
Wolf- [Em]spider, crouch

[Verse 9]
[G]in your fun[Em]nel nes[G]t
If I knew [Em]you, [G]once
Now I know [D]you [C]less
In [Em]the sinking [G]sand
Where we've come to rest
Have I had [Em]a han[G]d in your
[D]loneli[C]ness?
When you leave [Em]me

[Verse 10]
[G]alone
In this [Em]old palace [G]of yours
It starts to [Em]get t[G]o me
I [D]take to [C]walking
What a [Em]woman [G]does is
[Em]open [G]doors
And it is [Em]not [G]a question of
locking [D]or unlock[C]ing

[Verse 11]
Well, I have never [G]seen
Such a ter[Em]rible [G]room
Gil[Em]ded with the gold t[G]eeth
Of [D]the women who [C]loved you
Though I die [Em]Magpie[G]
[Em]This I be[G]queath
[Em]By any other n[G]ame
A jay is [C]still blue
With the [Em]loneliness

[Verse 12]
[G]
Of [Em]you mighty [G]men
With [Em]your mighty [G]kiss
That might never, never [C]end
While, so [Em]far [G]away
In the [Em]seat of [G]the west
Burn[Em]s the fount [G]of the heat
Of that [C]loneliness
[Em]There's a man

[Verse 13]
[G]who only
[Em]will speak in [G]code
Backing slowly,
[Em]slow[G]ly down the road[C]
May he mas[Em]ter [G]everything
That [Em]such men may [G]know
About [Em]lov [G]ing, a[Em]nd t[G]hen letting [D]go[C]
