[Intro] A G A G A G A C A G A G A G A G [Verse]
A                G            A
Me debunk an american myth?

G                       A             G
  And take my life in my hands?

A                      G
Where the great plains begin

A                      G
At the hundredth meridian

A                      G

A                        G       A
Driving down a corduroy road

       G        A                G
Weeds standing shoulder high

A                     G          A
Ferris wheel is rusting

Off in the distance

[Verse]
A                  G
Left alone to get gigantic

A                  G
Hard, huge and haunted

A                                 G
A generation so much dumber than it's parents

A                              G
Came crashing through the window

A                                     G
A raven strains along the line of the road

A               G
carrying muddy old skull

A                           G
The wires whistle their approval

A                  G
Off down the distance

A G A G [Verse] A G (x4)
A                 G             A
If I die of vanity, promise me, promise me

         G                                  A
If they bury me some place I don't want to be

                           G        A
You'll dig me up and transport me, unceremoniously

G               A                      G
Away from the swollen city breeze, garbage bag trees

A                                   G
Whispers of disease and the acts of enormity

A                                 G
And lower me slowly and sadly and properly

A                         G
Get Ry Cooder to sing my eulogy
