Ethe day I turned my Dback on all you Apeople
EI felt an Ditching in my Athumbs.
C#msalt air like a E7broadcast from the F#mdistant, dark B7beyond
A D A (Bbmaj7/A) A
when my transformation comes.
I went down to the warm, warm water
saw a pelican fly past
waved once at the highway and then left all that behind me
I went wading through the grass.
Bmand no one was Bbmaj7gonna come and Amaj7get me.
Bmthere wasn't anBbmaj7ybody gonna Amaj7know.
F#meven though I Dleave a trail of C#7burnt things in my F#mwake
A D A (Bbmaj7/A) A
every single place I go.
and it was cool, and it was quiet
in the humid marsh down there.
i let my head sink down beneath the brackish water,
felt it gumming up my hair.
the sun was sinking into the atlantic
the last time that I turned my back on you.
I tried to summon up a little prayer as I went under
it was the best that I could do.
and I said,
"let them all fare better than your servant",
the reeds all pricking at my skin.
"here's hoping they have better luck than i had down here with you"
all that water rushing in.
