C
I’m closer to the golden dawn, I can’t believe the wagon’s gone,
G Gsus4 G Gsus4
It’s history…
(C, G, Gsus4 through all of the verses)
A#
I’m frightened by the total goal,

I’m drawing to the ragged hole(?)
G Em C
And I ain’t got the wagon anymore,

I’m the twisted name…

Should I leave the engine on,

To listen to that mountain song,
G Em C
I’m sinking in the quicksand of my thought…
C Am G
And I ain’t got the wagon anymore…

Don’t deceive with believe

The knowledge comes with deperate ease(?)

Ahh oh….
C G Gsus4 (through the verse)
Not too stable hangin’ by a string…
A#
If I don’t explain what you oughta know

You can tell me all about it at the next ball show
G Em C
I’m sinking in the quicksand of my thought
