Chords
Thrasher

                                F                                    C  
They were planting in the full moon
                          C         C/B              Am7            Am7/G              F      G  
They had given all they had for something new
                        C *
                                F                                            C  
They could see the thrashers coming
                        C            C/B                      Am7  
And the water shone like diamonds
Am7/G      F         G  
In the dew.
F                                      G  
And I was just getting up,
                                                                  F  
Hit the road before it's light
F                                                 G                                 C7+  C  C7+  C  
Trying to catch an hour on the sun
                     F                                                    G  
When I saw those thrashers rolling by,
                        C                    C/B                 Am7    Am/C  
Looking more than two lanes wide
                  Dm7                                                                      G  
I was feelin' like my day had just begun.
                             C *
                                F                                 C  
There's an ancient river bending
                          C                    C/B                 Am7    Am7/G  
Down the timeless gorge of changes
                     F                                 G  
where sleeplessness awaits
          C *
                          F                                         C  
Who were lost in crystal canyons
                          C                 C/B              Am7  
When the aimless blade of science
Am7/G                      F                              G  
Slashed the pearly gates.
F                                                            G  
It was then I knew I'd had enough,
                                                                  F  
Burned my credit card for fuel
F                                                              G                                            C  
Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand
                     F                                                      G  
With a one-way ticket to the land of truth
                        C              C/B         Am7      Am7/G  
And my suitcase in my hand
                  Dm7                                                                                      G  
How I lost my friends I still don't understand.
  C *
                             F  
They were poisoned with protection
                                          C/B                    Am7    Am7/G  
There was nothing that they needed,
F                                         G  
Nothing left to find
                             C *
             F                                              C  
Or became park bench mutations
                        C                 C/B                      Am7         Am7/G  
On the sidewalks and in the stations
                                F                      G  
They were waiting, waiting.
F                                                 G  
So I got bored and left them there,
                                          C                                 F  
They were just deadweight to me
  F                                         G                                            C  
Better down the road without that load
  F                                                                                 G  
Brings back the time when I was eight or nine
                     C                                            Am7      Am7/G  
I was watchin' my mama's T.V.,
                                  Dm7                                                                      G  
It was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode.
                                C *
                  F                                         C  
On an asphalt highway bending
                        C            C/B         Am7    Am7/G  
Thru libraries and museums,
  F                                 G  
Galaxies and stars
                             C *
                  F                                                      C  
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
                  C              C/B         Am7  
The motel of lost companions
Am7/G                 F                                      G  
Waits with heated pool and bar.
F                                         G  
But me I'm not stopping there,
                     C                                      F  
Got my own row left to hoe
F                                 G                                                    C  
Just another line in the field of time
F                                                                                            G  
When the thrashers comes, I'll be stuck in the sun
                             C                                 Am7      Am7/G  
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
                          Dm7  
But I'll know the time has come
                                          G  
To give what's mine.
