Please let me know what you think -- I'm not too sure about the chorus, but it's coming right from ear.
1977 (?)
D You've got eyes like Jesus G But you speak with a viper's tongue D We were just sitting around on earth G Where the hell did you come from? D With your lady dressed in deerskin G And an amazing way about her D When are you going to realize Em That you just can't live without her? D Dsus4 D Take it easy G Take it light Bm But take it.... D Your lady gets her powers G From the goddess and the stars D You get yours from the trees and the brooks G And a little from life on Mars D And I've known you for a good long while G And would you kindly tell me, mister D How in the name of the Father and the Son Em Did I come to be your sister? D Dsus4 D Take it easy G Take it light Bm But take it.... D You've done dirt to lifelong friends G With little or no excuses D Who endowed you with the crown G To hand out these abuses? D Your lady knows about these things G But they don't put her under D Me, I know about them, too Em And I react like thunder D Dsus4 D Take it easy G Take it light Bm But take it.... D I know you are surrounded G By parasites and sycophants D When I come to see you G I dose up on coagulants D Because when you hurl that bowie knife G It's going to be when my back is turned D Doing some little deed for you Em And baby, will I get burned D Dsus4 D Take it easy G Take it light Bm But take it.... D So little brother when you come
G (/f# Em) D
To knock on my door
D I don't want to bring you down G But I just went through the floor D My love for you extends through life G And I don't want to waste it D But honey, what you've been dishing out G You'd never want to taste it D And if I had the nerve G To either risk it or to break it D I'd put our friendship on the line Em And show you how to take it D Dsus4 D ...Easy G ...Light Bm But to take it
