Walrus, north to the border towns 
Dm                                F 
Peacock swayed like a reed on the fence a while 
                          Bbmaj7 
(with a stalwart sense of style!)

Casey Jones walked slow to the prison cell 
                         Bbmaj7 
His face held hard as a scallop shell

but your last friend on Earth now calls 
                             Bbmaj7 
from the silent side of the cemetery walls 
                                       Dm 
your great cause to the moths and the rust!"

"Its the laws of cause and effect that you criticize 
                             Gm 
But sir, criticize them you must" 


   Three miles more til Flagstaff 
   Follow behind signs toward Badger Pass 
   Wound like clocks around fretboards 
   Carved out hands in our basswood  
   body guitars - borrowed guitars (borrowed hands!) 
   Im clearly not as handsome or caring as.. 



 Gm 
what you seem to want, 
but Id gladly walk you home, 
cause those streets can be dangerous
