F - (As transcribed above)
On the old forgotten crossways where the fourteen rivers did meet

F
The bones of our elders were lying in the street

F
On the dark and dusty desert like a ghost I've flown

F
I barely cried wherever I'd ride I ride I never found a home

F  G    F
Woe on me

 Dm                       G
Somehow I will feel more free

F                               F
To wallow in the empty headed peace

Dm                                      G
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease

F
I am just a ramshackle I go from town to town

F
Where there is no shelter I lay down on the grown

F
I've killed for no reason I've pissed upon a kind

F
Cost them all and burned the bone when I've had the time

F  G    F
Woe on me

 Dm                       G
Somehow I will feel more free

F                               F
To wallow in the empty headed peace

Dm                                      G
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease

F
Well there's saints and there are animals they've taken what they could

F
And it's written in the pages to do just what they should

F
Well they stood the test and burned the rest and tore them limb from limb

F
Like a fashion with no passion they open up their skin

F  G    F
Woe on me

 Dm                       G
Somehow I will feel more free

F                               F
To wallow in the empty headed peace

Dm                                      G
Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
