D                  G
To which shepherd’s field

                   D
Did which angels descend?

                       G
And what’s this about eternal non-existence at the end?

D                    G
A stranger’s face appeared—

                    D
They say he lost his mind

                      G
(Or too much found his mind?)

                 D
I hear it all the time

                  G
Vibrations rose in waves

                   D
From a sea of discontent

                           G
Dad used to talk about for days

                         D
I finally tasted what he meant

                    G
Your carcass on the ground

                          D
Brought vultures to their eyes

                           G
My frontal lobe is shutting down

                         D
I bet you hear it all the time

D                  G                         D
To which shepherd’s field did which angels descend?

                    G                                D
Or is blessedness revealed to those of us who best pretend?

                   G                        D
Some counterfeit ideas form ideas all their own

                         G                        D
I watched them spread for years to my unsuspecting bones

                            G                             D
And the nights my heart was tired you sang your saccharine song

                       G                               D
But when your mouth was quiet was the sweetest sound of all

                   G                        D
"Soon our ransomed souls will leave this age behind

                     G                       D
For streets of solid gold", I hear it all the time

D                  G
On a West Virginia road

D                  G
On a West Virginia road

D                  G
On a West Virginia road

C G                D
I did just as I was told
