At The Bottom of Everything Intro: C F C F C F C

We must ta^Clk in every telephone Get ea^Ften off th^Ce web We must ri^Cp out all the epilogues in the^F books that we have re^Gad And i^Cn the face of every criminal Stra^Fpped firmly to a chair We mu^Cst stare, we mus^Gt stare, we mus^Ct stare We must ^Ctake all of the medicines too ex^Fpensive now t^Co sell Set f^Cire to the preacher who is ^Fpromising us h^Gell And in ^Cthe ear of every anarchist th^Fat sleeps but doesn't dream We mu^Cst sing, we must s^Ging, we must s^Cing

It'll go like this:

Whil^Fe my mother ^Gwaters plants My fath^Cer loads his gu^Fns He says d^Feath will give us ^Gback to god Just li^Amke this setting s^Fun is ^Greturned to this lonesome ocean

And then they splashed into the deep blue ^Cse^Fa ^C ^F I^Ct was a ^Fwonderful^G splash ^C ^F ^C ^C ^G ^C

We must bl^Cend into the choir Sing ^Fecstatic with the ^Cwhole We must mem^Corize nine numbers and de^Fny we have a s^Goul And in this en^Cdless race for property and^F privilege to be one We m^Cust run, we mu^Gst run, we m^Cust run We must ha^Cng up in the belfry where the b^Fats and moonlight l^Caugh We must s^Ctare into a crystal ball and ^Fonly see the ^Gpast And in th^Ce caverns of tomorrow With just our flashli^Fghts and our love We must p^Clunge, we mu^Gst plunge, we mus^Ct plunge

^CAnd then we'll get down there to the very bottom of everything And we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it

Oh my^F mornings coming b^Gack The wh^Cole world's wakin^Fg up In t^Fhe city buses are ^Gswimming past ^AmI'm happy jus^Ft because I^G found out I'm really no one ^C ^F ^C

Another Travelin Song Intro B

i^B'm changin all my strings i'm gonna write another travelin' song ^E about all ^Bthe million highways and the cities at the break of dawn ^F# i guess the best th^Bat i can do now is pretend that i done nothin wrong ^E and to dream ab^F#out a train thats gonna take back where^E i belong ^B The ocean s^Bpeaks and spits and I can feel it from the interstate. ^E and I'm sc^Breaming my brother on a cell phone, he is far away. ^F# I'm saying nothing ^Bin the past or the future ever will feel like today. ^E I tell him park^F# it in the alley and just hoping that o^Eur shit is safe. ^B

So I go ba^Eck and forth forever ^B All my thou^Eghts they come in pairs ^B Oh, I will, ^EI won't, I doubt, I don'^F#t I'm not ^C#msurprised, and I never feel quit^Ee prep^F#ared ^B

Now I'm hunched over a typewriter, I guess you'd call it painting in a cave. And there's a word I can't remember and a feeling I cannot forsake. And now my ashtray's overflowing, I'm still staring at a clean, white page.

The morning's at my^F# window and she's sending me to bed again. ^E ^B Well I dreame^Bd of dark on the horizon, I dreamed of desert where the^E dead lay down. I dreamed a prosti^Btuted child touching an old man in a fast food crowd.^F# Oh yeah I dreamt th^Be ship was sinking there were people screaming all around ^E and I awoke to ^F#my alarm clock, it was a pop song, it w^Eas playing loud. ^B

So I wi^Ell find my fears and face the^Bm, Or I will ^Ecower like a dog. ^B I'll kick and^E scream or kneel in glee,^F# I'll f^C#ight like hell to hide that I'm^E givi^F#ng up! ^B

C G C C G C Am G C Am C G C I've grown tired of holding this post I feel more like a stranger each time I come home So I'm making a deal with the devils of faith Saying "let me walk away, please" You'll be free child once you have died From the shackles of language and immeasurable time And then we can trade places, play musical grace Till then walk away, walk away
