I know one, two, three, four
[Db] [Ab] [Db]
[Ab] And I [Gb] almost saw a [Ab] train wrap
But then I had to look [Bbm] away
[Fm] Never had [Gb] I wondered before
[Ab]
What happened when [Gb] metal bent and [Ab] tore
And I [Gb] ran cross manhole [Ab] covers
Toward the center [Bbm] of my earth
[Ab] Rallies and other landmarks
With visions of big machines [Db] transformed
[Ab] Oh-oh-oh-oh [Fm]-oh-oh [Db]-oh-oh-oh-oh [Ab]-oh-oh-oh [Db]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Ab] Walking [Gb] round in Saint [Ab] Matthew
[Fm] The winds were [Bbm] light and the roads were wet
Those green [Gb] sloping [Ab] mountains of earth
Leading up [Gb] to gravel [Ab] beds
My brother Paul [Gb] was walking [Ab] aimless
My father Pete [Fm] had turned away
[Ab] Paul was stumbling toward [Gb] a roaring train track
[Ab] He was only four years [Db] old that day
Oh-oh-oh-oh [Fm]-oh-oh-oh [Db]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh -oh
[Bb] Who's in [Eb] control?
[Ebm]
[Bbm] Yeah, who's in [Ab] control?
Oh-oh-oh [Gb] -oh-oh-oh [Ab]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Db]-oh-oh [Db]-oh
[Ab] I [Gb] barely saw it happen
[Ab]
The ground's [Bbm] monumental shape
[Bb] There must have been two feet [Ab] between them
But for those two hands, [Db] snatched him safe
[Fm] As we headed [Gb] home to beat the [Db] sunset
[Ab] I heard him crying [Fm] overhead
That night I [Gb] dreamt we turned the [Ab] lights out
And wandered far [Gb] away from it
Oh-oh-oh [Fm]-oh-oh-oh-oh [Db]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Db]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bb] Who's [F] in control?
[Bbm] Yeah, who's in [Ab] control?
Oh-oh [Db]
-oh [Ab]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Db]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Ab] Now I'm sitting [Db] on a bridge
[Ab] Out in Portland, [Bbm] Oregon
[Ab] The old [Gb] day begins [Db] to shudder
[Ab] And rolling on becomes another
Oh [Db]-oh-oh-oh [Ab]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Db]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Thanks.
[Ab] Thanks, y'all.
Fun times.
Okay, cool.
Just [E] one more.
I'm gonna tune [D] real quick using only my ears.
We'll see if this works.
