Am Dm
Moon shining down through the Palms
Am Dm
Shadows moving on the sand
Am Dm
Somebody whispering the twenty-third Psalm
Am Dm
Dusty rifle in his trembling hands
Am Dm
Somebody trying just to stay alive
Am Dm
He got promises to keep
Am Dm
Over the ocean in America
Am Dm
Far away, the master sleeps
F
Silent stars
Am
Blinking in the blackness of an endless sky
F Am
Cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by
F
Galaxies unfolding; new worlds being born
Dm
Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn
C E Am
But it's a long road out of Eden
Interlude: Dm Am Dm
Am Dm
Music blasting from an SUV
Am Dm
On a bright and sunny day
Am Dm
Rolling down the interstate
Am Dm
In the good ol' USA
Am Dm
Having lunch at the petroleum club
Am Dm
Smoking fine cigars and swapping lies
Am Dm
"Gimme 'nother slice of that barbecued brisket!"
Am Dm
"Gimme 'nother piece of that pecan pie"
F Am
Freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune
F
We're riding to Utopia;
Am
Road map says we'll be arriving soon
F
Captains of the old order clinging to the reins
Dm
Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains
C E Am – C – G
But it's a long road out of Eden
Interlude: Am – C – G D5 | Am – C – G (x2) D5
F
Back home, I was so certain; the path was very clear
Dm
But now I have to wonder - what are we doing here?
F
I'm not counting on tomorrow
And I can't tell wrong from right
G
But I'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight
Int: Am G Dm E/B (x2) Am, - - - - - - | Am Dm (x4)
Am Dm
Weaving down the American highway
Am
Through the litter and the wreckage
Dm
And the cultural junk
Am Dm
Bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda
Am Dm
Now we're driving dazed and drunk
Am
Went down the road to Damascus
Dm
The road to Mandalay
Am Dm
Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian Way
Am
He said, "It's hard to stop this binging
Dm
Once you get a taste
Am Dm
But the road to empire is a bloody, stupid waste"
F
Behold the bitten apple - the power of the tools
Dm
But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools
C E Am
And it's a long road out of Eden
Ending: Dm | Am Dm (x3)
Am Dm
Huu… huu huu huu… (x3)
Am Dm
Huu huu huu… huu huu huu…
Am Dm
Huu… huu huu huu… (x3)
Am Dm Am...
Huu huu huu… huu huu huu…
