Days Of The Years

D

           D
Leaving my coat at the Greyhound station
           A
Raising my arms in supplication
            Bm
Making some money, spending some money
              A
Drinking Pepsi, just walking around
              D
Making people hate me, making people laugh
        A
Fear of drowning in a shallow bath
              Bm
Feeling under-dressed in the cold midwest
           A
Kissing my grandmother goodbye
             D
Watching the crocuses bloom and fade
       A
Easter bonnet from an old parade
           Bm
Exchanging pleasantries under pleasant trees
     A
Over griefs and apéritifs

              D           A           Bm    A
These are the days of the years of my life

         D
American summer and it's all a breeze
           A
Buck-tooth girls in skin-tight jeans
            Bm
The mastiff heels, the accounts are solvent
         A
I’m crooning in the open West
           D
Meeting my baby at a greasy spoon
         A
Sitting alone in the Rembrandt room
               Bm
Walking in the shade where lilies weep
      A
Under clouds of marzipan
               D
Walking in the dark of Monument Valley
       A
Feding stay cats in a narrow alley
             Bm
The song was weird, but still they cheered
               A
It's scrambled eggs and solitaire

              D           A           Bm    A
These are the days of the years of my life

           D
Mopping up gore from the butcher's floor
        A
Feeling clean as a new drug store
        Bm
Singing loud idiotic songs
                  A
In the blue, blue mountains walking along
           D
Night-long drives on the wild edges
     A
Apparitions in the neighbor’s hedges
      Bm
Sinus drips and Battleship
        A
Putting ashes in a rushing stream
           D
Watching a city turn into sea
            A
Standing in water up to the knee
           Bm
Missing my stop on a city bus
       A
In the land of propaganda

              D           A           Bm    A
These are the days of the years of my life
              D           A            Bm    A
These are the days of the years of our life

D  A  Bm  A  D
D  A  Bm  A

         D
Watching birds on a drowsy sea
               A
Sittin' in the dark of a family tree
        Bm
Funeral flowers and paperwork
            A
Drowning my dreams in mountain streams
         D
Standing tall in a cap and gown
      A
And a house that's since burned down
           Bm
It's summertime in the Catskills now
        A
Leisure classes in the mountain passes
            D
The jaws of life and the jaws of death
        A
Hearing secrets in a dying breath
           Bm
In a black four-door sedan
         A
Down the road to the end of the world

              D           A           Bm    A  D
These are the days of the years of my life
              D           A           Bm    A
These are the days of the years of my life
