[G] [Em] [Am]
[D] [Em] [D] [G] He talks a lot [Em] but never talks [Am] to anyone at [D] all
[G] He shakes his fist [Em] at buses and [Am] old posters on the [D] walls
[C] You know someone who knew something [G] about [D] [Em] JFK
But his friends [G] are just [A] the shadows [C] and the hoes and [D] alleyways
[G] The rumbling [Em] frozen pipes
[Am] whisper secrets in [D] the night
[G] In the coffee grounds [Em] his fingers sketch [Am] a portrait of [D] his wife
[C] She knew the legal eagle [G] when his [D] wings swept [Em] through the stars
Before he shut [A] the furnace [C] down and sealed [D] away his heart
[Eb] Is Gorgan [Fm] gone Hollywood [Bb] again?
A [Cm] sleeping giant [Fm] inside a [Bb] rabbit skin
[G] Tahitian doors beyond [C] the painted veil
[D] Another simple mind [G] to drill
[Ab] Like Gorgan [Bb] going Hollywood [F] again
[C] The [Eb] [Bb]
[F] [C] [Eb] [Bb]
[G] day lacks color, [Em] days are better [Am] than a bird in [D] ice
[G] Rusty water [Em] running through [Am] hands out of touch with [D] lies
[C]
A man of independence [G] means [Bm] he'd help us [Em] all to leave
A soul [A] who brought his wings [Am] away before [D] he goes to sleep
[Eb] Is Gorgan [Ab] gone Hollywood [Bb] again?
A [Cm] sleeping giant [Fm] inside a [Bb] rabbit skin
[G] Tahitian doors [Cm] beyond the painted veil
[D] Another simple mind [G] to drill
[Ab] Like Gorgan going [Bb] Hollywood [F] [C] again
[Eb] If [Bb] [F] [C] [Eb]
[Bb] [F] only for [C] a moment [G] you could [C] wake her [Am] light
[F] An invitation [C] for the flame [G] to shine [Am] bright inside
[D] [C] Illuminating darkness, [Fm] giving [C] him relief
[F] Then someday [C] in a stretched hand [F] we'll find the map [G] to peace
[Eb] Is Gorgan [Ab] gone [Fm] Hollywood [Bb] again?
A sleeping [Cm] giant [Ab] inside [Fm] a rabbit [Bb] skin
[G] Tahitian doors [C] beyond the painted [D] veil
Another simple [G] mind to drill
[Ab] Like Gorgan [Bb] going Hollywood [F] again
[C] [Ab] Like Gorgan [Bb] going Hollywood [F] again
