King Apathy III by The Byds (Live at the Fillmore, 1969) Provided to YouTube by Columbia/Legacy Lyrics and Music: Roger McGuinn [Intro] A A E E A E D E E E A E [Verse 1]
A                               E
Freaks collecting stained ­glass rubies

A                  E
Till a gently on a strand

A                E
Bearing looks of frenzied blankness

A                  E
Slowing down their B.B. King
[Verse 2]
A            E
Middle class suburban children

A                E
Wearing costumes that reveal

A              E
Blindly follow recent pipers

A                   E
With their mystical appeal for now
[Chorus]
D      E
So I'm leavin' for the country

E  D               A
To try and rest my head

A           E
'Cause if I hang around this scene too long

E   D                 E
You know babe I'll be dead
[Instrumental--Electric Guitar] D E A D E D E A E A A E E E D E [Verse 3]
A               E
All the changes superficial

A      E
Apathy still a king

A               E
Liberal reactionaries

E     A                  E
Never doing anything for now
[Chorus]
A      E
So I'm leavin' for the country

E  D               A
To try and rest my head

A           E
'Cause if I hang around this scene too long

E   D                 E
You know babe I'll be dead
