Roll On

{tuning: Standard (EADGBE)}
{section: Intro}
[C]

[C]You were [G]up to your necklace  in drunk friends and wreckage
when the [C]New Year
[G]Stepped out of the past through the rose colored glass
[C]and dropped you off here
[F]With a broken kazoo, a faded marijuana tattoo,  [C]and confetti in your [F]hair
[F]Now you're Jesus' age, \but you've only been betrayed by t[C]he calendar

[G]Your mother remarried

after your father was buried
in this s[C]ailor's suit
[G]Now she sells real estate,

he floats in his grave,
and n[C]either has much to say to you
So you [F]follow a cloud
to a Betsy Ross shroud and see the[C] wind try to rip it in two
[F]But it don't make you feel any better

when you're under the weather
and it's hanging over[C] you

[F]It's fading, It's fading
[C]So what are you going to d[F]o now?
[F]All America asked was for you to mow the grass,
But you're thinking of thr[F]owing in the towel
[C]Roll on, [F]Roll on, Roll [D]on

[C]

[G]Mystery is bandaged

with routine, Plaster-of-Paris,
[C]and mosquito net
[G]While paint thinner blades
strip the windshield of salt cake and[C] sunset
[F]Someone once said

the humble would stumbled
[C]onto something long forgotten and [F]ravaged,
[F]But your dreams soak the pillow
just as a [C]thimble of rain feeds the cactus

[G]So drain your bruises,

cut your scapegoats loose
and confess [C]ignorance
[G]Pull a metaphor out of a river
or a door and add your [C]fingerprints
[F]You could always go west

just like the rest
[C]and bury your head into the [F]hot sand
[F]Or you could dust your broom
and dissolve the moon on your [C]eyelids

[F]It's fading, It's fading
[C]So what are you going to d[F]o now?
[F]All America asked was for you to mow the grass,
But you're thinking of thr[F]owing in the towel
[C]Roll on, [F]Roll on, Roll o[D]n

Enjoy.
