[A]
I want to tell you about Texas radio and the big beat.
[G] It comes out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow,
with a backbeat narrow and hard to master.
Some call it heavenly in its brilliance,
others mean and rueful of the western dream.
[Fm]
[F]
I love the friends I have gathered together on [D] this thin raft.
[Eb] We've constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping.
[G] This is the land where the pharaoh died.
Children, [D]
[Gm] [Fm]
the [D] river contains specimens.
[F] [G] The voices of singing women call us on the far shore,
and they are saying, forget the night,
live with us in [Gb] forests of azure.
Meager food for [D] souls forgotten.
[D]
[G] [D] [B]
I tell you this,
no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting [D] the dawn.

[G]
[A] blind [G] to every [A] eye [G] she meets.
[A] Do you think [G] he'll be [A] the [G] guy
[A] to make [G] the queen [A] of the angels sigh?

[A] She holds [G] her head so [A] [G] high,
like [A] a statue [G] in the [A] [G] sky.
Her arms [G] are wicked [A] and her legs [G] are long.
When [A] she moves, [G] my brain [A] screams out their song.
[Am] [Bb]
Silent [Ab] walk, [Bb] crouches at [Ab] her feet,
[Bb] like a dog [Eb] that begs [Bb] for something sweet.
Do your home to make her see you move.
Do your home [Eb] to put this dusky tune.
