I transcribed this from the KXCI Tucson performance because the record speed on the 7"
the tuning slightly inaccurate. I hope I got all the lyrics right. -Larry

F~G G~A A~B
A C#m G# A
When you're riding the rails with those wide open eyes,
E B A
Well there's one old southpaw you will always fight.
A C#m G# A
And alone, on a worn out throne is the reigning Queen of the Questions.
E B A
Why we blind footed toddlers ever started out.
E Emaj7 B
So don't get into me when I goose step
A C#m B
Across the kitchen floor, you know I still adore all your mother's old-fashioned ways.
E Emaj7 B
So impressed that you hear my inventions.
A G A
And that it matters more than what you saw with your eyes.
A C#m G# A
Go along with the plan, your head is still right there where you put it--
E B A
Under the bed, with the ice cream you could never find.
A C#m G# A
And at night you go to bed and dream of the world to be what you wanted--
G# A
You've got that girly draw, now flaunt it,
E B A
And keep them all checking their watches when you're out tonight.
E Emaj7 B
So don't get into me when I goose step
A C#m B
Across the kitchen floor, you know I still adore, are your eyes changing heads?
E Emaj7 B
So impressed that you hear my inventions.
A G A E
And that it matters more than what you saw with your eyes.
