Verse 1
Well, I (A minor) live smack on the Santa Fe Trail.
It's about 50 miles east of Santa Fe.
And there's nothing out there,
you know,
about a house every half
mile or so.
It's about a 45 -minute
stretch between towns
and there's a lot of trash out there.
And I didn't know what that
was from
when I first moved out there
and come to find that that's just the old 100,
150 year old trash from the Santa Fe Trail.
They didn't have black plastic
garbage bags.
They (G major) didn't recycle their (F major) cans or their glass,
they just tossed it off the (A minor) side of
the wagon
when they were (F major) done snacking
or when they were (A minor) done eating
that day
or whatever.
The dominant feature in the valley
is called Starvation Peak.
It's right in the middle of the valley
and it got named by an incident
that I like to think is related
to all that trash there.
(F major) The Apaches ran a bunch of the settler
(A minor) s up on top of that peak
and left them up there until
they starved to death
several days later
while the Apaches partied down below.
I like to think of it as America's
first anti -litter (F major) campaign. (A minor)
Verse 2
So I've got a song called Starvation Peak.
(A minor)
The Indians play hide and seek,
their bets are (F major) on my hide.
(D minor) I

Verse 3
(A minor) can't even tell
how many more of (F major) us have died. (G major)
Verse 4
this way to go. (F major)
I (G major) never would have chose New Mexico
(F major) if (G major) only there were something
more to eat. (F major)
They laugh (G major) even as I'm growing weak (F major)
and (C major) leave my bones atop (G major)
starvation peak. (A minor)
Leave my (G major) bones atop starvation peak. (A minor)
This trail lasts forever,
never made Santa (F major) Fe
Though (A minor) they said we're getting close,
(F major) two or three days
Every (G major) where there's trash upon the trail (F major)
My (G major) bones will be trash upon the trail (F major)
My (G major) bones will be bare within a week (F major)
While the (G major) Indians play hide -and (F major) -seek,
I (C major) bide my time on (G major) Starvation Peak, (A minor)
I bide my (F major) time on (G major) Starvation Peak, (A minor)
and time's (F major) all I have
and I'm (C major) running out (A minor) of time,
all (D minor) I want (G major) is time and a bite to eat. (A minor)
I am (F major) just a good night's fun,
not even worth the climb, (A minor)
(F major) I bide my (G major) time on Starvation Peak, (A minor)
I bide my (G major) time on Starvation Peak. (A minor)
Hey hey hey -o,
(G major) (A minor) hey hey hey, oh hey
Hey hey hey -o, (G major) (A minor) hey hey hey, oh hey
I never met the men below
whose laughter pierced (F major) the sky
I (A minor) never had a chance to turn
and watch (F major) my family die
those (G major) of you who follow on this trail
(F major) go (G major) to Santa Fe or go to hell
(F major) it's (G major) all the same to me
so I won't (F major) speak when
(G major) you run out food
you'll taste de (F major) feat.
I (C major) gave my (G major) time to starvation peak (A minor) .
I gave my (F major) time (G major) to starvation peak. (A minor)
Time's (F major) all I have
and I'm (C major) running out of time. (A minor)
All I want (F major) is time (G major) and a bite to eat. (A minor)
I am (F major) just a good night's fun
not (A minor) even worth the climb.
Abide my (G major) time on starvation peak (A minor) ,
Abide my (G major) time on starvation peak. (A minor)
Hey, hey, hey, oh, (G major) (E minor) (A minor) hey,
hey, hey, oh, hey.
Abide my time on (G major) starvation peak (A minor) ,
Hey, hey, hey, oh, (G major) (E minor) (A minor) hey,
hey, hey, oh, hey
I bide my time on (G major) starvation peak (A minor)
I count my time on (G major) starvation peak (A minor)
I lose my (G major) time on starvation peak (A minor)
