John Appleseeds Lament


INTRO:  Bb      D#      (4x)

Bb                                         D#                           Bb      D# 
I stepped out the front door into winter and the world outside 
D#                                                              Bb      D# 
I stepped out the door to New York City, my hair was barely dry 
D                                    C                          Bb      D#      Bb      D# 
I could not remember where I was going, so I went back inside 


Bb                                    D#                                Bb      D# 
Nothing happening in the elevator, nothing happening on the stairs 
D#                                                        Bb    D#      Bb      D# 
Nothing ever happen when I am sleeping, I cannot stay there 
D                                           D# 
How'd you find a party when you're in your room 
C                                                       Bb      D#      Bb      D# 
How'd you find the action man, the action is everywhere 

Bb                                                 D#                    Bb     D# 
If you decide to climb outside your bedroom window, paint a picture on a cloud 
D# 
Oh if you decide that you can't hide inside your mind 
                                Bb      D# 
Provide the slide to get you out 
D                                           D# 
Feels just like you're falling and you're going down 
C                                                                         D#                             
But everybody loves you when you hit the ground 

Bb      D#      x4 

Bb                             D#                                
I say a prayer, I say a prayer, I say a prayer to Pocahontas 
                         Bb     D# 
I pray to John Appleseed 
 D#                                                                     Bb      D#      Bb      D# 
Oh I cigarette the winter air, then I Fred Astaire my way down seventh street 
D                                           C                     D#    Bb      D#      Bb      D# 
Some chick yells Jesus love me more than I know but less than I need 

Bb                                     D#                               Bb      D# 
I parade down the valley to the battery and then I step off into the air 
D#                                                                              Bb      D# 
Point my sunglasses east towards Jerusalem and then follow all the Pharaohs there 
D                                   D# 
They're building pyramids in Leicester Square 
C                                                       Bb      D#      Bb      D# 
Driving in circles round the circus 'til the circles in the air 
 Bb                                     D#                      Bb      D# 
My love says come on Adam tell me what the hell is wrong with you 
D#                                                                  Bb  D#      Bb      D# 
She says, come on Adam tell me, what the hell am I supposed to do? 
                   D                                       C                        D# 
She says, I could love you, I could leave you, I can't live what you put me through 

Bb      D#      x 4 

Bb                            D#                Bb      D#      Bb      D# 
I call the wind Maria because I do not know her face 
D#                                                                       Bb     D#      Bb      D# 
I call the endless sky Emilia because she stays with me from place to place 
   C                    Bb                                               Bb     D#      Bb      D# 
I call the sun my love Emmanuel because she cradle me in her embrace

Oh no, nothing happening in the kitchen, nothing happening on the floor 
D#                                                              Bb      D#      Bb      D# 
Nothing happening in my bed, she don't sleep there no more 
D                                           D# 
How’d you find the bottom when you're in the air? 
C                                                   C STOP 
Hey man, how’d you find a circus man, the circus is everywhere
