Chords

[Intro] F C F C Bb Dm G N.C. [Verse 1]
        Am              G
She's a box car rollin' by

       Am                  G
Like a black star in the sky

        Am                G
She's a failure once or twice

       Am                              G
Like a trailer spinnin' out upon dizzy ice
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                       G
Flowers fly when we grow old

Am                         G
Snakes get high, or so I'm told

         Am                G
She's an eagle out on the road

        Am                                   G
Like my favorite Beatle everyone bought and sold
[Chorus]
F                  C
All of my love and half my kisses

F               C
Superstar don't do the dishes

Bb              Dm               G
I just want the great apes to be free

F                C
Come on now, you lazy cowboy

F                   C
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy

Bb              Dm             G
I just want the great apes to be free
[Verse 2]
        Am               G
She's a rain bird on the prowl

        Am                                   G
Like an urge to be yourself that you won't allow

        Am              G
She's a forest that we burned

       Am                                       G
Just a blueprint for a life that we had never learned
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                       G
Flowers fly when we grow old

Am                         G
Snakes get high, or so I'm told

        Am                  G
She's a lynch mob on the street

     Am                                 G
Take another step and I will kill the beat
[Chorus]
F                  C
All of my love and half my kisses

F               C
Superstar don't do the dishes

Bb              Dm               G
I just want the great apes to be free

F                C
Come on now, you lazy cowboy

F                   C
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy

Bb              Dm             G
I just want the great apes to be free
[Guitar Solo] Am Am G G Am Am G G Am Am G G [Bridge]
         Am              G
She's a bus stop, glockenspiel

        Am                                   G
She's a simulation life that you thought was real

      Am                  G
She's an image that we blurred

       Am                            G
It's a pixelated panther, now let it purr
[Chorus]
F                  C
All of my love and half my kisses

F               C

F                   C
Heads or tails, but not right now, boy

Bb              Dm             G
I just want the great apes to be free
