[Chorus]
Bbm    Ab      Fm Db/Bb Gb
if you want to come on down

Bbm   B        Gb     E Db
down with your bones so white

Bbm Ab    Fm        Db/Bb          Gb
and watch while the freight trains pound

Bbm B    Gb    E    Db
into the wild, wild night

Bbm Ab       Fm Db/Bb Gb
how i would love to gnaw

Bbm   B      Gb    E  Db
gnaw on your bones so white

Bbm       Ab         Fm     Db/Bb Gb
and watch while the freight trains paw

Bbm B      Gb    E    Db
paw at the wild, wild night
[Verse]
GbM9
All these ghost towns, wreathed in old loam

Ab11/Gb
(Assateague knee-deep in seafoam) —

Bb7
Ho Swansea! Buttonwillow!

Bb9
Lagunitas! Ho Calico!

Gb
And all these beastly bungalows

Bbm
stare, distend, like endless toads —

Db
endlessly hop down the road.

Bbm
Borne by wind, we southward blow.
[Verse]
Ab                  Gb
And yonder, wild and blue,

         Ab          Gb
the wild blue yonder looms.

             Bbm          Gb
'Till we are wracked with rheum,

   Ebm             Gb      DbM7
by roads, by songs entombed.

Ab7/Db
And all we want to do

Ab7/Db
is chew, and chew, and chew!

Bbm7 Ebm  DbM7   Gbsus4
Dear one, drive on,

     Bbm
when all we want to do

   Ab7
is chew, and chew, and chew.
[Chorus]
Bbm    Ab      Fm Db/Bb Gb
if you want to come on down

Bbm   B        Gb     E Db
down with your bones so white

Bbm Ab    Fm        Db/Bb          Gb
and watch while the freight trains pound

Bbm B    Gb    E    Db
into the wild, wild night

Bbm Ab       Fm Db/Bb Gb
how i would love to gnaw

Bbm   B      Gb    E  Db
gnaw on your bones so white

Bbm       Ab         Fm     Db/Bb Gb
and watch while the freight trains paw

paw at the wild, wild night.
