        D             D               C               G
I can't see myself at thirty, I don't buy a lacquered thirty
             

D                   D                   C               G

D              D             C                G
Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback
             

D                           D            C               G

CHORUS

        G         G             Em           Em   
The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest

The consul a horse, oh man, I think we're lost

INTRO VERSE 2 Who will tend the farm museums, who will dust today's belongings
 Who will sweep the floor, hedging near the givens
 Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season
 Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led
 CHORUS The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
 The consul a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
 The consul a horse, Jefferson...Jeffer.... VERSE 3 Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback 
Skylight, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in a tree tar-black br'er sap
 Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game
 Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle
 CHORUS The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
 The consul a horse, Jefferson, I think we're lost
 The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest
 The consul a horse, Washington, I think we're lost, lost
