I see a ^C9bird soar through the ^Gclouds outside my windo^Dw Smell the ^C9fresh paint of the ^Gcomfort shade on this new fall^D day Feel the ^C9coffee surge through m^Gorning veins from half an hour a^Dgo Hear the ^C9sound of shots and ^Gscreams out in the hall^Dway

Spent my las^C9t weekend camping out^G again down the road a-way^Ds Just me and ^C9Joan and a couple of ^Gfriends on this beautiful ^Dtrail Watch the ^C9sun slip down behind the ^Gmountain stream in these g^Dreat cascades Saw a ^C9mighty hawk swoop down u^Gpon a stream to devour its p^Drey

And now we're ^Emmoving chairs in some p^Ganic mode to barricade the doo^Drs As my ^Emheart rate surges on ^Gadrenaline and nerves, I ^Dfeel I've been here before I made it ^Emback from hell's ^Gattack in some distant, ^Dbloody war Only to s^C9tare down hell back home ^{G D}

Inside my ^C9mind I wander ^Gfreely past this rocky sho^Dre Waves crash ^C9against the banks where ^GLewis and Clark explo^Dred We're all ^C9standing in the shadows of our ^Gnoblest intentions of something m^Dore Than being ^C9shot in a classroom in Oregon ^{G D}

And it's a^Em morning like so many ^Gothers, with breakfast and birth^Ddays Sun burn the ^Emfog away, breeze blew the ^Gmist away My friend J^Dack is having a baby And I see a ^Embird soaring through the ^Gclouds outside my ^Dwindow Heaven is ^C9calling my name from the ^Ghallway outside the doo^Dr Heaven is ^C9calling my name from the ^Ghallway outside the doo^Dr
