Stumbled on down indian hill,

Tail between my legs

Folger's Crystals and hard boiled eggs

 Called my friend in New York

 Three thousand miles away

  Em               D                  C                  A
 Halfway through her metamorphosis, nothing I could say

 Poured my small resentments like rare and priceless gems

 Hang on to your dreams until there's nothing left of them
