[Verse 1]
B E B
When I receive the blessing I've got coming
A E B
I'm going to raise a nice cold glass of water
B
And toast the living and the dead
E
Who've gone before me and my head
B F# B
Will throb like an old wound reopening
[Verse 2]
B A E B
When I get off the bus down there my children
A E B
They all are going to greet me at the station
B E
Like gypsies they will dance around me and
B
The choral droning sounds their voices make will
F# B
Saturate the evening
[Verse 3]
B A E B
When I get off the wheel I'm going to stop
A E B
And make amends to everyone I've wounded
B
And when I wave my magic wand
E
Those few who've slipped the surly bonds
B F# B
Will rise like salmon at the spawning
