Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Of war and peace,
Am 
the truth just twists
C 
Em 
D 
Its commune gall just glides
Am 
Upon four -legged forest clouds
C 
Em 
G 
D 
the cowboy angel rides
F#m 
With his candle lit into the   sun,
Em 
G 
Am 
A 
though its glow is waxed and white
D 
F 
G 
D 
All except beneath the trees of Eden
Am 
The lamppost stands with folded arms,
C 
D 
it's iron paws attached
Am 
Two curbs meet holes where babies wail,
C 
D 
though it's shadows that will advise
F#m 
All in all can only  fall
Em 
G 
with a   crashing but meaningless blow
A 
D 
F 
No sound ever comes from
G 
D 
the gates of Eden
This savage soldier
Am 
C 
sticks   his head in sand
D 
and then complains
Am 
Unto the shoeless hunter
C 
D 
who's gone deaf but still remains
F#m 
Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
Em 
G 
A 
At ships with tattooed sails
D 
F 
G 
D 
Heading for the gates of Eden
Am 
With a time -rusted compass blade
C 
D 
A Latin and  Islam
Am 
Sit for utopian hermit monks
C 
D 
Sidesaddle on the golden calf
F#m 
And on their promises of paradise
Em 
D 
G 
A 
You will not hear a  laugh
D 
F 
All except inside the
G 
D 
gates of Eden
Am 
Relationships of ownership,
C 
D 
they whisper in the wings
A 
Am 
To those condemned to act accordingly,
C 
D 
wait for succeeding kings
F#m 
And I try to harmonize   with songs
Em 
G 
A 
the lonesome sparrow sings
D 
There are no kings
F 
G 
D 
Am 
C 
inside the gates of Eden
Am 
G 
D 
Am 
C 
Em 
C 
G 
D 
Am 
The motorcycle black Madonna,
C 
D 
two -wheeled gypsy queen
And her silver -studded
Am 
phantom cars
C 
D 
The great Rhinos walk discreet
F#m 
As he weeps to wicked words of prey
Em 
G 
A 
We pick up on his breadcrumb sins
D 
And there are no sins
F 
G 
D 
inside the gates of Eden
Am 
The kingdoms of experience
C 
D 
in the freshest winds  they rock
Am 
While poppers change possessions,
C 
each one wishing for
D 
what the other has got
F#m 
And the princess and the prince
Em 
G 
discuss what's real and what is not
A 
D 
F 
It doesn't matter inside
G 
D 
the gates of the moon
The foreign sun,
Am 
C 
D 
it squints upon a bag that is never mine
Am 
As friends and other strangers
C 
D 
from their faith's tribes resign
Leaving them wholly, totally free
Em 
D 
G 
A 
To do anything they wish to do but die
D 
And there are no trials
F 
G 
D 
inside the gates of Eden
Am 
At dawn my lover comes to me
C 
D 
Tells me of her dreams
Am 
With no attempt to shovel a glimpse
C 
D 
into the ditch of what each one means
F#m 
At times I think there are no words
D 
Em 
G 
A 
but these to tell what's true
D 
And there are no truths
F 
G 
D 
outside the gates of Eden
