Verse 1
My (C major) generation
came of (G major) age in the 70s,
but (F major) that did not yet pre (C major) clude
us from aping the
Youth culture of (G major) the 60s,
devoid (F major) of any understand
(C major) ing or context.
Long, tangled masses of (G major) unkempt hair.
(F major) Knee -high boots and (C major) buckskin vests.
Black t -shirts from last night's (G major)
tall concert.
Smokestones (F major) tethered to (C major) our necks.
Five -finger bags hid (G major) den in our socks.
Black (F major) beauties wrapped in cellophane. (C major)
Airplane glue and (G major) strawberry
boots for our men
Don't (F major) forget the four -way (C major) window pane
We were a brotherhood of losers,
united (G major) by ignorance
Slouch (F major) ing towards Bethlehem
with (C major) handfuls of dope
Though we fashioned ourselves,
so (G major) ciety's rebels
It was (F major) all just a dismal, pathet (C major) ic joke
And the (F major) sun did (C major) shine (G major)
And the (F major) sun did (C major) shine (G major)
In Sunny Slope, (D minor) there was (G major) no (D minor) hope
Toward (F major) s transcend (C major) ence
we did blindly (G major) grope
But we got left (D minor) behind in the swirling (G major) (D minor) dust
Like (F major) broken down cars (C major) just (G major) gathering rust
And I can still (C major) remember
when the stones (G major) came to town
In (F major) 1978, (C major) like lemmings we waited
In the (G major) outdoor ticket line
for two (F major) whole nights
And three (C major) whole days
Up against the wall in the
unbearable (G major) heat
Weak (F major) with hunger we
had noth (C major) ing to eat
To pass the hours we spent (G major) our time
Tripping on (F major) homemade acid
Laced (C major) with strychnine
Sewage bubbling out of a pipe (G major) in the wall
Cups (F major) of water begged from
McDonald's (C major) clerks
Rainbows in the (G major) pools of oil
Passing (F major) motorists
who would honk (C major) and curse
And some fan in fashion, a (G major) photo collage
And (F major) held in a loft for (C major) all to see
There swabbed in her dia (G major) monds and fur
Bian (F major) ca Jagger laughed (C major) at me
And the (F major) sun did (C major) shine (G major)
And the (F major) sun did (C major) shine (G major)
In sunny slope, (D minor) there (G major) was no (D minor) hope
Toward (F major) s transcend (C major) ence
we did (G major) blindly grope
But we got left (D minor) behind in the swirling (G major) (D minor) dust
Like broken (F major) down cars (C major)
just gath (G major) ering rust
And I can (C major) still see the kids
on the (G major) side of the canal
Cooking (F major) crayfish in old coffee (C major) cans
Setting brush fires in (G major) vacant lots
Throwing (F major) oranges at cars
on Black (C major) Canyon
Bodies pulled from the (G major) U
-Totem dumpster
Caliche (F major) soil and (C major) tumbleweeds
Cicadas droning in the (G major) dead Palo Verde
The (F major) as phalt bubbling beneath (C major) our feet
Inbred people working dead (G major) -end jobs
Swollen (F major) by fast food and (C major) alcohol
Breeding listless replications
of (G major) themselves
Wandering (F major) aimlessly through
Chris (C major) town Mall
Their yellow lawns littered with (G major) auto parts
Eth (F major) nic flagstones, cheap broken (C major) toys
And every other Friday
when the (G major) paychecks would come
The (F major) bars would echo with
(C major) desperate noise
And the (F major) sun did (C major) shine (G major)
And the (F major) sun did (C major) shine (G major)
In Sunny Slope (D minor)
There (G major) was no (D minor) hope toward
(F major) s transcend (C major) ence
We did (G major) blindly cope but we got left (D minor) behind
In the (G major) swirling dust
(D minor) Like (F major) broken down cars (C major) gath (G major) ering rust
And the (F major) sun did (C major) shine (G major)
And the (F major) sun did (C major) shine (G major)
And the (F major) sun did (C major) shine (G major) (F major) (C major) (G major)
you
