Em  (7Fret)  - D (5Fret)
 things could have been better
 they sure could not have gotten much worse
 when there are tears out  in the alley
 and laughter waiting
out  front in the hearse
 and there's remark about contender
 repulsa aint too hard too  find
 conclusion based on surrender
 and the general dismissal of the merit of mankind
 the snakes and  the sawtooths
 they lay loving the buck
 spending all their time
 setting up camp and
 running  amuck
 liiiiiiight is not the neon filler
 not the memory of sun filled days by  solar spark
 light is the moses
  splitting the waves
  in a sea so dark

 There's a town in the high desert
 where doctor gene scott says the demons run
 alongside a chunk of heaven hovering there
 where the wind in the image of the throne rides shotgun
 riddles of the wonderment, wonders of the firmament
 and me laid up, laid off and laying low
 things could have been better
 they sure could not have gotten any worse
 tears out in the alleyway
 and laughter waiting out front in the hearse

There's a town in the high desert
where doctor gene scott says the demons run
alongside a chunk of heaven hovering there
where the wind in the image of the throne rides shotgun
riddles of the wonderment, wonders of the firmament
and me laid up, laid off and laying low

things could have been better
they sure could not have gotten any worse
tears out in the alleyway
and laughter waiting out front in the hearse
