F Bb A D
Dorororororo rorororo Do doro do ro ro roro rorororo
D G
Lord, today there is no salvation, the band packed up and gone
A D
Left me standing with my penny in my hand
G
There’s a big crowd at the station where the blind man sings his songs
A D
But he can see what they can’t, understand.
Chorus:
G D
It’s the thirty-third of August and I’m finally touching down
G Em A D
Eight days from Sunday finds me Saturday bound

Once I stumbled through the darkness, tumbled to my knees

A thousand voices screaming in my brain

Woke up in a squad car busted down for vagrancy

Outside my cell as sure as hell it looked like rain

But now I’ve put my dangerous feelings under lock and chain

Yes, I killed my violent nature with a smile

Though the demons danced and sung their songs within my fevered brain

Not all my God-like thoughts Lord were defiled
Chorus + Intro
