[E]
Who did you say you were?
I didn't catch your name
Falling down to earth, down from a higher plane
Old skin decades, say what did you see?
Oh I've been so lonely, won't you keep me
company?
[A]
Do [E] [A]
[D] [E]
you remember me we met out on the farm?
By the fire you spoke to me and held me in your arms
The songs you played for me I long to understand
All along the watchtower and castles made of sand
[Am]
When there [A] was a wilderness [E] we wandered wild and free
[A]
Guilt she [D] is the gun rest [Em] it guides me back to greed
[A]
What if we were dumb [E] enough to spend eternity
[A]
[D] Gathering the [Em] garbage washed up [A] on the beach
[D]
[A] Oh
Do
[G] [Bm] [Em] you remember me [B] we [F] spoke by [Em] telephone?
The bad [A] connection had a meaning of its
own [E] Of all the good and all the stupid shit
I've done The worst was all for me not hurting anyone
[A]
[Em] [A] [D]
[E] [A]
[E] [A] [Em] [A] [D]
[Em] [A] When there was a wilderness [E] I wandered wild and free
[A] Guilt she [D] is the gun rest [E] it guides me back to greed
[A] Wish that I was old [E] enough to end the century
[A] Gather [D] all the [Em] garbage washed up [A] on the beach
