Am                      C
Well I felt like I was born today

Am                      C
So I took it upon me to go away

Am                      C
To gather my thoughts and go away

         Bb                      Am
To where I could be used by somebody

Am                   C
Over the hill like always you know

Am                         C
Were Billy and Frankie and Henry and Joe

Am                          C
And they beat and broke me hard and slow

    Bb           Am
To prove I was nobody

Am                    G
And no one I was and so remained

Am                      G
Knocked out in a hut, no mother, no name

Am                          G
And filled up my heart with one and the same

Am               G          Am
That grand dark feeling of emptiness

Am                       C
And was it a friend that turned me loose?

Am                       C
Or was it a girl come to baste my goose?

Am                         C
Or was it my great God who laid on his finger

     Bb              Am
And started my clock anew?

Am                   G
Ah no, it was rain, ah no, it was gunning

      Am                           G
It was point break and buckle and singing and cunning

     Am                            G
That skinned me, re-skinned me and started me running

       Am          G              Am
And I never looked back from then on

Am
And now I'm learning bit by bit

G
'Bout the make and model shit

F
Muddy bowl, I live in it

Em                      Am
And all the mucks that tire us

Am
And I'm afeared if I don't have

G
A piglet, lamb, or little calf

F
I'll chop my humanness in half

Em                  Am
And be as worm or virus

Am
But kids I've had, and they are sung

G
Upon folks' ears my babes are hung

F
And rhythmically they live among

Em                     Am
And grow but don't get old

Am
Not in a box, not in a void

G
Not if their voice is never heard

F
Nor if no-one repeats a word

Em                    Am
But if their tune is told, then...

C                G
We can age and fall away

C                    G
And meet again some golden day

Am                   F
And fill it in our happy way

Am          G       Am
In starlight and in gold
