Verse 1
A 
Harley
Think I'll have lines on my
D 
Em 
face when I get out of this place
C 
G 
A 
So I guess I'll be ever so careful
D 
It wouldn't help to deny,
Em 
I'm well advised to comply
C 
G 
A 
By the rules or be ever so tearful.

Verse 2
A 
I caught a vulture, he came up behind me
I put a chain on his claws
I caught another, been trying to find me
I slit a vein in his jaws
G 
Tied the two of them up with guitar strings
A 
Only fed them a bone
G 
Grinned and put my hands in my pockets
Gm 
G 
To  drift away to a land
D 
of my own.

Verse 3

Think I'll have lines on my

face when I get out of this place

So I guess I'll be ever so careful

It wouldn't help to deny,

I'm well advised to comply

By the rules or be ever so tearful.

Verse 4
A 
We played a game of
Cowards and Heroes
We lay the rules on the floor
But then we spoke of flowers
and quiros
It ended up in a draw
G 
But all the time they
were bound and belittled
A 
I  wouldn't let them go
G 
Gm 
I  only used them for skittles
D 
A 
And drift away to a land of my own.

Interlude 1

Verse 5
A 
They were begging over and over
'If we behave, can we feed?'
Began to throw them pieces of clover
G 
And said: 'Now count the leaves'
I realized it was only a battle
A 
And went to look out for the war
G 
My brains began to rattle
Gm 
G 
D 
And drift away to a land of their own.
