Chords

As recorded by Guided By Voices (From the 1987 Album SANDBOX) [Intro] F G Bbmaj7 G [Verse 1]
F         G           Bbmaj7  G
Six guns alone, an emotional avalanche

F              G          Bbmaj7       G
Six bottles of rum, and a kilo full of character change

        F                      G      Bbmaj7  G
I don't have to come out on my own, barricade
[Chorus]
G
I walked into the line of fire and took it on the chin again

G
And I can't find my medication or my occupation

    C            G           C               G C
And please don't show me the things I should see
[Interlude] C N.C. G Bb A [Verse 2]
       C                      G
In the finger paint I've been dabbling

         Bb                   Am
With the sixty vessels of the ocean

       C                   G
In the critical eye of the fashion world

    Bb                    Am
I become the aggressor of no one

        C                              G
Takes a stronger wind to blow out this candle

         Bb               Am
Than the other fires I've made

        C                         G
And the lying mouth won't blow my handle

         Bb           Am
Knocking down my barricade

        C          G    Bb  Am
Blowing up my barricade

       C             G
Little child, little child

       Bb                         Am
Little child won't you dance with me

       C             G
Little child, little child

       Bb                         Am
Little child won't you dance with me
[Guitar Solo] G Bb G Bb G Bb G [Chorus]
G
I walk out in the blinding light and took it on the chin again

G
And I can't find my medication or my occupation

    C                 G      C               G      C
And please don't show me the things I should see anymore
[Interlude] C [Bridge]
C   Bm      Bb                D             C
Go away and leave me alone to work the crossroad

        Bm       Bb
Runaway train, I need to find a long lost brother

C         Bm        Bb               Am
Bound and gagged, I feel the need to think it over

C       Bm          Bb           C
Lost my home, don't find my home
[Outro]
           F       Bb          Gm        C
Let me walk, I can stand on my own two feet

        F             Bb          Gm    C
I don't care what you do, I don't like you

     F           Bb          Gm       C
Be a clown, be a man, be all you can be

        F             Bb             Gm    C
And you don't have to stay, it's all over now
