The Wilderness Years Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You threw me out[G] of your Ede[D]n
[G]Now I'm on [C]gardening leave
[G]I cop[F#m]ped my cri[Bm]me but I
did[Am]n't like your timing
[Em]Just days before Christmas [A]Eve
And [D]now my act [G]is disappear[D]ing
But [F]I like it b[Bb]etter out here
[F]There's less apple[F#m], less stea[Bm]k
Much [Am]more give and take
Turns out [Em]I like to play it by ear[A]
You [G]cussed me out in the wilder[C]ness, baby
[G]You sai[C]d it was some kin[G]d of tes[A]t
Wave as I walk through
the wilder[D]ness, baby
[A]The wilder[C]ness years
are my be[A]st, [G]oh[D]
I was tired of your [G]lip and your [D]scripture
[G]Done with your [C]salesmanship[G]
You've [F#m]already won,
[Bm]there's no need [Am]to go on
May[Em]be you're losing your g[A]rip
So [D]throw what you [G]like at [D]me, mister
[F]Perhaps I am [Bb]meant to resist
[F]But temptatio[F#m]n is free
[Bm]And my polic[Am]y is to lie back[Em]
and wait for the [A]kiss
[G]You cussed me out in
the wil[C]derness, baby
[G]You sai[C]d it was som[G]e kind of tes[A]t
Wave as I walk through
the wilder[D]ness, baby
[A]The wilder[C]ness years
are my be[Am]st[G][D][A]
[G]Oh, oh
[D]One, two, three,
[A]four[E][A][G][D][G][D][G]
[A][D]
So thanks for the [G]old golden hand[D]shake
I [F]cast off these [Bb]golden hand[F]cuffs
[F#m]Enough is [Bm]enough of your
[Am]sad blind man's buff
[Em]Open your eyes up to [A]love
You [G]cussed me out in the wilder[C]ness, baby
[G]You sai[C]d it was some kin[G]d of tes[A]t
Wave as I walk through
the [D]wilderness, baby
[A]The wilder[C]ness years are my best[A]
[G]Oh, [D]oh[A][G][D]
No [A]one can stay in the [D]Garden of Eden
[A]So get[E] on your bike
and go [A]far away from the [D]Garden of Eden
[A]Leave Ada[G]m and Eve[D],
the [G]apple and [D]Eve, and the [G]snake,
and get [A]out there [D]alone.
