^GOf war and peace the ^Dmtruth just twists It's ^Fcurfew ^Cgull it ^Gglides ^C/G ^G ^C/G ^F ^G ^GUpon four-legged ^Dmforest clouds The ^Fcowboy ^Cangel ^Grides ^C/G ^G ^GWith his candle ^Bmcradled in^Amto the ^Gsun Though its ^Amglow is waxed in b^Clack ^D ^GAll except when '^Bbneath the ^Amtrees of ^GEden ^C/G ^G ^C/G ^F ^G

^GWith a time-rusted ^Dmcompass blade ^FAladdin ^Cand his ^Glamp ^GSits with Utopian ^Dmhermit monks Side ^Fsaddle on the ^CGolden ^GCalf ^GAnd on their promi^Bmses of ^Ampara^Gdise You ^Amwill not hear a ^Claugh ^D ^GAll except ^Bbinside the ^CGates of ^GEden ^C/G ^G ^C/G ^F ^G

[Verse 5]

^GRelationships of ^Dmownership They ^Fwhisper ^Cin the ^Gwings ^C/G ^G ^GTo those condemned to ^Dmact accordingly And ^Fwait for ^Csucceeding ^Gkings ^GAnd I try to ^Bmharmon^Amize with ^Gsongs The ^Amlonesome sparrow ^Csings ^D ^GThere are no kings ^Bbinside the ^CGates of ^GEden ^C/G ^G ^C/G ^F ^G

[Verse 6]

^GThe motorcycle ^Dmblack Madonna Two-^Fwheeled ^Cgypsy ^Gqueen ^C/G ^G ^GAnd her silver-studded ^Dmphantom cause The ^Fgray flannel ^Cdwarf to ^Gscream ^GAs he weeps to ^Bmwicked ^Ambirds of ^Gprey Who ^Ampick up on his bread crumb ^Csins ^D ^GAnd there are no sins ^Bbinside the ^CGates of ^GEden ^C/G ^G ^C/G ^F ^G

[Verse 7]

[Verse 8]

^GThe foreign sun, it ^Dmsquints upon A ^Fbed that is ^Cnever ^Gmine ^C/G ^G ^GAs friends and other ^Dmstrangers From ^Ftheir fates ^Ctry to ^Gresign ^GLeaving men ^Bmwholly ^Amtotally ^Gfree To do ^Amanything they wish to do but ^Cdie ^D ^GAnd there are no trials ^Bbinside the ^CGates of ^GEden ^C/G ^G ^C/G ^F ^G

[Verse 9]

^GAt dawn my lover ^Dmcomes to me And ^Ftells me of ^Cher ^Gdreams ^C/G ^G ^GWith no attempts to ^Dmshovel the glimpse In^Fto the ditch of ^Cwhat each one ^Gmeans ^GAt times I ^Bmthink there ^Amare no ^Gwords But ^Amthese to tell what's ^Ctrue ^D ^GAnd there are no truths ^Bboutside the ^CGates of ^GEden ^C/G ^G ^C/G ^G
