Young Thousands
G          D#              Am           C
Boats ease into the harbor bearing real suspicious cargo

You drive east from the ocean with both hands tied on the wheel

And you go past Garden Grove as the pleasure index rises

The things that you've got coming will do things that you're afraid to

G         Bm              Am          C
There is someone waiting out there with a mouthful of surprises

Here they come

          Am        C
The young thousands

It will be too late by the time we learn

C                  D
What these cryptic symbols mean

And I dreamt of a house

           G                          C
Haunted by all you tweakers with your hands out

        G                         C
And the headstones climbed up the hills

        G                         C
And the headstones climbed up the hills

Patches on our jeans

Em             G
When the drone sounds in the cool night wind

        D
We pick up the call

G
I can remember when we were in high school

    D#
Our dreams were like fugitive warlords

Plotting triumphant returns to the city

        D#                        F
Keeping Tec-9's tucked under the floorboards

G
Now we are practical men of the world

   D#
We tether our dreams to the turf

    G
And cruise down these alleys for honey to feed them

D#                    F
Jellyfish riding the surf

            G    C
Shoving our heads straight into the guts of the stove

Home again

G
  This song is for the rats

F
  Who hurled themselves into the ocean

          Am                              C
When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold

      G
Were just about to blow

G
  This song is for the soil

F
  That's toxic clear down to the bedrock

       Am                        C
Where no thing of consequence can grow

          G
Drop your seeds there, let them go
[Chorus]
             Em    G    C    Em
Let them all go

F
  Who tell their families that they're sorry

      Am                   C                 G
For things they can't and won't feel sorry for

G
  And once there was a desk

    F
And now it's in a storage locker somewhere

          Am                                 C
And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons

   G
I left in the top drawer

Let 'em all go
