Tailpipe Blues

E                       A                     E      A
- Grey monoliths reach out into the starless night
E                                      A
- Strip malls, bungalows, developers' wet dream
                    E              A
Spreads out like a virus from the city
E                             A
- Hurry up, you move to slow, no one's got
                   E
The time to wait upon you
               A
You've got no money
E
- What do you want, what do you need
            A
And more importantly
                           E
What do you think you can get?
               A
You've got no money

              D                   B
O there's a place, where there's gold
          A                        E
Like the conquistador slaughtered for
             B                         A
And there's rubies, hanging from the trees
                     E
Laying down on the ground
            B          A             E
And there's emeralds scattered all around

E
- Tell me more, tell me more
             A                          E     A
Who do you think, who do you think you are?
E
- Some kind of prophet or some kind of a priest
              A
Well you can wrap your lips around the
                E    A
Tailpipe of my car
E                              A
- Sometimes when I'm down, I close my eyes
                 E     A
I don't hear a sound
E                                    A
- And I remember the places and the people
                 E     A
I want to see again

                D                  B
And there's a place where there's gold
          A                     E
Like the conquistador murdered for
             B                        A
And there's rubies hanging from the trees
                     E
Laying down on the ground
            B          A             E
And there's emeralds scattered all around

         B                        A
And the snow comes, and covers it up
            E
Without a sound
         B             A
Yes the snow covers it up
            E
Without a sound
