Phish – Chalk Dust Torture (Guitar)

        E                    A
Come stumble my mirth beaten worker

                                E   A  E   A
I’m Jezmund the family berzerker

      E                         A
I’m bought for the price of a flagon of rice

                           A
The wind buffs the cabin You speak of your life

                                  E     A   (x4)
Or more willingly Locust the Lurker

  E                           A
Confuse what you can of the ending

                                    E  A  E  A
And revise your despise so impending

          E                                      A
‘Cause I soak on the wrath That you didn’t quite mask

                                        A
I’m getting it clearly through alternate paths

                                            E  A  E  A
Or mixed in with the signal you’re sending

 G                           A
But who can unlearn all the facts that I’ve learned

      G                         E
As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned

      G                         A
And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue

      G                        A
Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun

       G                           A
All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone

G                        A
Can’t this wait ’til I’m old

E                          A
Can’t I live while I’m young?

E                            A      E   A   E   A
Can’t I live while I’m young?

         E                  A
But no peace for Jezmund tonight

                                E  A   E   A
I plug the distress tube up tight

    E                         A
And watch what I say as it flutters away

 A
And all this emotion is kept harmless at bay

                                E  A  E   A
Not to educate somebody’s fright

 G                           A
But who can unlearn all the facts that I’ve learned

      G                         E
As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned

      G                         A
And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue

      G                        A
Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun

       G                           A
All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone

G                    A
Can’t this wait ’til I’m old

E                          A
Can’t I live while I’m young?

E                          A    E  A  E   A
Can’t I live while I’m young?

 G                           A
But who can unlearn all the facts that I’ve learned

      G                         E
As I sat in their chairs and my synapses burned

      G                         A
And the torture of chalk dust collects on my tongue

      G                        A
Thoughts follow my vision and dance in the sun

       G                           A
All my vasoconstrictors they come slowly undone

G
Can’t this wait ’til I’m old

E                         A
Can’t I live while I’m young?

E                         A
Can’t I live while I’m young?

E                         A
Can’t I live while I’m young?
