One of my all-time favourite bands! This may be my favourite song of theirs.
*NOTE* I think it s really important to play an A root note on the D chord. Doesn t
sound right otherwise.
PS. To do this as a barre chord, use the A shape (root 5th fret 5 string) and include
the 6th string in your bar. The 5th fret is an A note, as in:
5th fret
e-X----|
b----X-|
g----X-|
d----X-|
a-X----|
E-X----|
ANYWAY...

Standard tuning, no capo

The road is long, you re gonna get thrown about
Stick to the rhythm, breathe it in and breath it out
Do what you do, there isn t any secret
Chop wood, draw water, roll cigarettes
Find a lover, put a flower in her hair
Climb a mountain, see the mountain disappear
Be the first to go back to the ghost town
Break bread with the man that s gonna bring you down
Deep deep down
Sha lalala lala la la la la lalala la
I listen and I hear what s said
Sha lalala lala la la la la lalala la
I follow it from A to Z
Sha lalala lala la la la la lalala la
N.C.
But wisdom hasn t found me yet
You re feeling scared, Jesus is your bodyguard
You feel alone, take a look in your backyard
Put your eye to the eye of the telescope
The Universe looks back through a microscope
Adopt a highway, dress yourself in camel hair
A wasted life is a life lived unaware
Make your money, put it on a number eight
Tempt fate, baby you re a wheel going round
Round and round
Sha lalala lala la la la la lalala la
I listen and I hear what s said
Sha lalala lala la la la la lalala la
I follow it from A to Z
Sha lalala lala la la la la lalala la
N.C.
But wisdom hasn t found me yet
