 Other chords are all powerchords
Wake  up to a blue moon  in the sky
A  cool china  blue
Hear  the thunder of life  driving by
Guess  it's finally on the  loose
And  I smell the soot sweat
 On the sick-a-more trees
 As the branches  collide
 With every  thought  I think
 Now the neighborhood cat is calling
 He can't sleep
 Says the oxygen in the needle and pin
 Has sprung a leak
 Well he really took his chance
 Crossing his heart, hoping to die
 He was young and he was happy
 At the time (At the time)
 It seems to be like cinema
 Silver turns to it's old tricks
 Magic loses all it's magic
 And you know what it really is
 The young men who used to
 Use their knuckles, are gone
 But the tadpoles keep on multiplying
 Down in the swamp
 When the pearly gates do open
 Dragging their legs out of spite
 Inside a woman sits to greet you
 Welcome home to the night
 It's the last motel
 With electric, she says
 Take a seat while the maid
 Goes and cleans up your mess
 Honey it could take an hour
 It could take all year
 It could take a century
 For your bad name to clear
 Wake up to a blue moon in the sky
 A cool china blue
 Hear the thunder of life driving by
 Guess it's finally on the move

Wake up to a blue moon in the sky
A cool china blue
Hear the thunder of life driving by
