Intro 1

Verse 1
G 
Listen my children
C 
and you shall hear the story
of mankind so sincere
G 
Out of the mouths of babes
C 
and into the streets of any old town
G 
How a man needs to express himself
C 
A piece of clean white sky, an empty shelf
G 
A plow, a fountain can, a church pulpit
C 
A tin can drum
G 
Oh, listen
Whiskey, chocolate, Mary Jane
Dear
C 
Abby Anne, the number's gay
G 
A blackened fist through
C 
window panes
G 
Oh, the fortune teller and his bag of tricks
C 
G 
I followed his trail into Motel 6
Down the yard brick road
C 
And it went like this
G 
C 
Truth is like a dirty word
G 
But it can set you free
C 
That's what I've heard
It ain't no absolute
F 
C 
G 
I'm gonna tell on you
C 
You and your counterfeit dreams
G 
He's the man in the balcony
Screaming fire
C 
And no one listens
To his heart's desire
G 
So a car door slams
C 
Up against your smile
G 
Into your tiny world
On your color TV
C 
The truth will interrupt
And disappear
Em 
G 
With a gospel according to
C 
Who, whoever you are
G 
Oh, truth
C 
Is like a dirty lid
G 
But it can set you free
C 
That's what I've heard
F 
It ain't no absolute
C 
G 
I'm gonna tell on you
C 
You and your counterfeit jeans
G 
Yeah, you
Sisters sit in the living room
C 
Reliving last night's honeymoon
G 
With a Flintstone glass of
C 
rubbing alcohol
G 
Just twelve years in already old world
C 
Where her heart's been sold
G 
C 
To the highest bidder Santa Claus
G 
C 
Truth is like a dirty word
G 
But it can set you free
C 
That's what I hope
F 
It ain't no absolute
C 
G 
I'm gonna tell on you
C 
You and your caribou jeans
G 
Yeah, you
C 
You and your caribou jeans
You
