[N] _ _ [C#m] Should I [B] give him a Harbin rap?

_ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [F] _ [C#] _ _
[A] _ _ [G#] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [D#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ Yeah, [D] I live [C] in California
[F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
When [B] I was going [D] there for the first [A] time which was
[G#] _ [G] _ _ [A] Junior year of high school people were signing my [G] yearbooks and telling me [A] generally the message that
California was the place where I belonged _
[B] _ See you later, you'll have a great time there.
We're sure of it
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[B] And finally [Bm] after going [D] to school [G#] on the east coast I _
Moved back there [C#] and I started going to this hot Springs
Just north of Calistoga and the [F] hot pool there which [G#] comes right out of the ground
At [D] 120 [C#] by the time it collects into the hot pool.
It's about 112 hundred 13
113 [Am] degrees which [C#m] is very hot for
water
[D] to _ be immersed in
_ Like the average hot bath, [G] you know hot bath
[F#] _
_ [F] 103 and for
[C#] _ _ [D]
113 [B] man, you got to get out pretty soon
And so these [D] people at the hot Springs have a cold
Pool [C#] like about 15 [G#] steps up outdoors under a big fig tree [D] and you get into this cold pool [G] for a while
_ [G#] And then you go back down to the hot
And it doesn't seem [G] so [D] hot
[C] so if you do this several times you get into [D] this kind of zombie ritual of
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [C#] Hydrothermal trauma _
_ _ _ [F] And you begin to see
[G] _
_ _ God you _ _ begin to see something
[A#] _ _ [B] _ There's [G] two so _ [N] _ _ _ _
[C] if you do this several [B] times you get into [D] this kind of zombie ritual
_ _ _ [B] _ Hydro [C#] thermal trauma [D#] and _ _ you begin to see
[D] _ _ _ [A] God you _ [G] begin to see something
Hmm
_ [B] _
There's [C#] two
factions of people sort of who go [F#] to Harbin one [D] is with the more hippie [G#] faction [G] and the other one is the more yuppie faction
so [A] when I go there and stay in the
[E] hippie
_ [G#m] _ Role I take my van [D] and I camp out
[C#] And other [A] times I rent a room and drive [G#] my 87 [G] burgundy
_ 325
[F#] _ _
[G] _ _ [C#] _ BMW
_ [E] _ _
[F#m] _ _ [D] _ _ However one time [B] I went there and did the ritual ten times and I thought I saw [C#] my two separate selves
Split and go for a walk together in the [E] woods _
and make friends
_ _ _ [G] So right after I saw this I went back down to my van [G#] _ and wrote this
[G] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ It's
It's it's [G] called dirt
