[Intro 1]
[C][G][Bm][G][Am][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Hey,
my little baby
Pointing [D]at the sky's amazing
[G]In the [Am]lake now
[G]All of this sensation
And [D]no space on earth to place it
[G]Where [Am]it's safe now
You've got [C]a big day coming
[G]A b[Bm]ig day co[G]ming now
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[G]Gather, crowd, around me
In the [D]gutter where you found me
[G]Help [Am]me stand now
My [G]body, it is aching
And [D]my poor old heart is [G]breaking
And I'm so [Am]freaked out
We've got a [C]big chance coming
[G]A b[Bm]ig chance coming now
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[G]All the little Sadies
[D]And the literary ladies
Wish [Am]me well now
[G]A slab upon a plane that
Through the [D]air is silver swaying
Into [Am]sun now
[G]I hightail my cool haircut
Through the turn[D]stiles of the airport
On the [Am]run now
Flip a [G]couple hundred pages
I was [D]turning thirty-eight
I I was a horrible [Am]sight
You've got [C]a bad day coming
[Bm]A sad day coming [Am]'round
I'll wear [C]a white suit and
black [Bm]sunglasses
To the last [G]mass [Am]now

[Interlude 1]
Okay
[G][D][Am]
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 4]
Then give [C]me one last kiss
In your [G]pink silk dress, I [Am]guess
Said, "I have [C]lost all will to"
With my [G]face pressed against your [Am]breast
And I have [C]pilfered the king's pills
[G]From the palace medicine [Am]chest
I cried [C]a quart of crocodile tears
On[Bm]to Allison[G] Anne's
pink champag[Am]ne glass
I was es[C]corted from [G]the premises
For being a [Am]mess

[Verse 5]
And it's [G]just like when John
Howe [D]told me
How the Force [Am]MDs died
Lou [G]Gehrig's disease laid
T.C.D. low
Mercury [D]had a heart attack
back [Am]in '95
And where [C]DJ Doctor [G]Rock went
Nobody [Am]knows
I see my [G]grandfather, T. Holmes
"Bud" [D]Moore laid up
in his hospital [Am]clothes
But I think about [G]Judee Sill
dying in some trailer [D]park
Out of cocaine and codeine all [Am]alone
It was a [C]big waste
Brother, such a [G]big [Em]waste
Yeah, [G]I k[Am]now
They had some [C]great songs
Must have been a great [G]time
So long [Am]ago
But I [C]didn't open up my [G]mouth
[Em]Just to [G]piss and [Am]moan

[Interlude 2]
No way
[G][D][Am]
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 6]
[G]All the air is glitter
And I [D]went and hit the
Skating rink [Am]alone now
I'll [G]watch the kids all skim [D]across the ice
They look so nice
It was [Am]so cold out
And then I [C]coughed into
my cupped [G]hands
Across the rink so I could [Am]hear the band
[G]Two guitars, a drummer
A chick [D]singer with a Kurzweil
On a key[Am]board stand
And I said, "Play [C]that cover"
I said, "Play that cover song again"
