Hop Along - Not abel

^G#m(hol^F#md A ^Efo^Ar three bars) [Verse I] The ^G#mwhole town lined ^C#mup outside the tent ^F#What those kids thought they ^Esaw- Do you really want to^A remember this? To^G#mday, think of ^C#mall the alien ^F#shots in the dark ^E That at one time, all at once, ^Acoexisted

^F#m I mean aside from all the b^Durning ^F#m Hurry by the shanties beside the ^Droad

Sunset on a ^Acart Pulled^E home by a whit^F#e horse Conscience of the ^Ahusband was ^Erighteous and ^F#coarse There must be a ^C#mlimit If we only ^F#mcircle around There's no hurry in ^Breaching it

^G#mShirt bloodstained And ^C#myet it was not Abel ^F#but Cain who got to ^Ehear The voice that for so long had been a^A stranger ^G#mNot one word of ^C#mall the time they spent ^Egrowing up brothers Even love, yes, even love, yes, ^Aeven love

^F#m What if the details there were ^Dsuddenly shared? ^F#m Tender moments siblings keep ^Dsecret

Sunset on a ^Atime when no ^Ewords could be ^F#spared Unknowing^A mother rocks soft^E in her ^F#chair There must be a ^C#mlimit This has ^F#mhappened

This is ^Bhappening [Bridge] ^DVoice on the ^Aradio ^Eagain ^D Strange to be ^Ashaped by such ^Estrange men It's the h^Dottest ^Asummer ^Eagain ^DStrange to be ^Ashaped by such ^Estrange men (Hold E) (Rest) But where will you go? Where?

^AWhere, where? ^EWhen you asked me that ^F#question it ^Asounded like a ^Ejoke A rubber ^F#hand extended to shake ^C#mOutside my kitchen the sound of ^F#mfists on the door In the early ^Bmorning light A ^Adeath so ^Esmall and senti^F#mental Daddy ^Agiving the middle ^Efinger to the ^F#Kodak lens When I saw her ^C#mface she smiled "I don't know ^F#mwhy I ^Esaved it all this ^Btime"
