[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][G][D]
[Bm][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]If I could
get my hands around [Bm]the smoke
I [G]try to shake it by its broken tail
[D]Run my fingers over those dark wal[Bm]ls
[G]Check for stories left behind in [D]Braille
I [Bm]understand the rattlesnake's old [C#]song
And the [Bm]backed up corner
of the double [G]bind
But pretty [D]soon, and it won't be [A]long
I'm gonna speak my [G]piece
and then leave it all behind
[D]And then say goodbye[Bm] to
[G]my fanciful min[D]d
No one here was sure where he had [Bm]gone
His [G]phone would [D]ring,
[G]but he would [D]not reply
When the new slow motion
shivered [Bm]out
[G]It was hard to justify[D]
They [Bm]always say the first
engine to [C#m]fail[A]
Would[Bm]n't have been bad
had the trouble been con[G]fined[D]
But when the second and the third ones give out,
[A]too
[D]Then [G]the writing on that wall's
been all but [D]signed
And they say good[Bm]bye
[G]To your fanciful min[D]d
They say goodbye,
[Bm]defe[G]nse for my name[D][Bm][G][D]
The statue had a face fixed in a [Bm]sneer
And [G]he growled his dominion to the sand
[D]But he was muffled by the
hum of passing [Bm]years
And then he [G]failed to speak
when called to the witness [D]stand
Judg[Bm]ment came down,
case dis[A]missed[F#m][A]
[F#m]But he wa[Bm]ndered like a
sorry human[G]kind
Just [D]trying to find a decent
meal to [A]eat[Bm][D]
And a [G]warmer place to
let the clock un[D]wind
And to say [Bm]goodbye [G]to
his fanciful [D]mind
Yeah, say [Bm]goodbye [G]to his fanciful [D]mind[Bm][G]
[D][Bm][G][D][Bm][A]
[Bm][G][D][A][D][G][D]
I could choke it up to any[Bm]thing
[D]From [G]cruel fate to [D]ruthless profiteers
But usually I blame the ones I [Bm]love
And that's [G]mostly just because
they're [D]sittin' here
But [Bm]sometimes when the
sun is almost [A]down
And it [Bm]tumbles golden crazy
through the [G]blinds
[D]All of us are smiling in the glow
A long farewell [G]to the [A]fanciful [D]mind
We say good[Bm]bye
[G]To the fanciful [D]mind
We say goodbye
[Bm]Goodbye to t[G]he fanciful
[D]mind[Bm]
Good[D]bye [G]to the fanciful [D]mind
Oh, good[Bm]bye [G]to your fanciful mind
[D]
