Intro: Bb - F (x4)
Bb F
Smoke it flies from whisky mouths / vagabonds walk this suitcase town
Bb F
summer left us beckoning / the cottonwoods were all worn out
Bb F
night comes fixing on the day / and the universe reigned again
Dm F Bb Dm
while the wheels roll, to find a flickering light
Bb F C Gm
While you were sleeping i was the turning the dials
Bb F C Gm
and i walled up your kingdom with radio wires
Bb F C Gm
and the bells of the choir came in low and rumbling
Bb
..aw, you should-a heard them...
