Jesse Welles – 40 Days In The Desert (Guitar)

Am    G          F
[tab]C                Dm
40 nights in the sand

Am      G         F
40 long days wandering in a haze

C
Aimless

             E
With no real plan

C                            F
I know some men ain't got no hands

C                            F
I know some men ain't got no eyes

C                                Dm
I know some come back with their bodies intact

             F                   E
But they all lose a bit of their minds

Am   G            F
40 years in the desert

C               Dm
40 years in the dark

   Am           G             F
Is that all you get for yer money

F                 E
A monument in the park

Am         G      C    Dm
Heroin and oil on holy soil

      F           E
It's a crusader's dream

      Am        G          C         Dm
We're gonna get out pretty soon they shout

              F            E
But they don't ever really leave

    Am        G            C   Dm
You tarry too long down in Babylon

           F                  E
You'll get caught between the streams

    Am         G              C         Dm
Yer best years passed turning sand into glass

        F                   E
Now yer sons crawl thru the streets

C                           F
I know some flags up on the mantle

C                         F
I know some mommas got no sons

C                         Dm
I know a whirlwind when I see one coming

F                         E
We're gonna reap it as it comes

Am   G            F
40 years in the desert

C               Dm
40 years in the sand

       Am        G          F
When I came down off of the mountain

      Dm            E
I had nothing in my hands

C                           F
And you know better than to ever wonder

C                     F
Uncle eagle tells the truth

C                        F
Don't you know that it's so unbecoming

Dm                         E
To go out looking for some proof
