[C#] _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I [C#m] pulled in the labyrinth, I [D] was feeling [A] about half past dead.
I just [C#m] need to find some [D] place where I can [A] lay my head.
Yeah, [C#m] mister, can you tell me [D] where the man [A] I'm afraid of is?
He just [C#m] grinned and shook my hand, [D] and that was [A] all he said.

picked [C#m] up my bag, [D] I was looking for [A] a place to hide.
When [C#m] I saw Carmen and Miguel, they're [D] walking [A] side to side.
I [C#m] said, hey, Carmen, come [Bm] on, man, [A] go down and tell her.
She said, well, I got [D] it, but my friend can [A] stick around.

It's [C#m] this cold looking, [D] loose wind that's [A] turned my day.
_ [C#m] Well, I blew my friend, [Bm] caught a body on [A] an antler.

[C#m] Chester followed me, [D] and he caught me [A] in the fall.
He said, [C#m] I will fix your [D] back if you just [A] let go.
What did you say?
I said, [C#m] wait a minute, Chester, [D] you know I'm [A] a peaceful man.
