G Dm
Of war and peace the truth just twists
F C G C/G G C/G F G
It's curfew gull it glides
G Dm
Upon four-legged forest clouds
F C G C/G G
The cowboy angel rides
G Bm Am G
With his candle cradled into the sun
Am C D
Though its glow is waxed in black
G Bb Am G C/G G C/G F G
All except when 'neath the trees of Eden
G Dm
The lamppost stands with folded arms
F C G C/G G
It's iron claws attached
G Dm
To curbs 'neath holes where babies wail
F C G C/G G
Though it shadows metal badge
G Bm Am G
All and all can only fall
Am C D
With a crashing but meaningless blow
G Bb C G C/G G C/G G
And no sound at all comes from the Gates of Eden
G Dm
The savage soldier sticks his head
F C G
In sand and then complains
G Dm
Unto the shoeless hunter who's
F C G
Gone deaf but still remains
G Bm Am G
Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
Am C D
At ships with tattooed sails
G Bb C G C/G G C/G F G
Heading for the Gates of Eden
G Dm
With a time-rusted compass blade
F C G
Aladdin and his lamp
G Dm
Sits with Utopian hermit monks
F C G
Side saddle on the Golden Calf
G Bm Am G
And on their promises of paradise
Am C D
You will not hear a laugh
G Bb C G C/G G C/G F G
All except inside the Gates of Eden
G Dm
Relationships of ownership
F C G C/G G
They whisper in the wings
G Dm
To those condemned to act accordingly
F C G
And wait for succeeding kings
G Bm Am G
And I try to harmonize with songs
Am C D
The lonesome sparrow sings
G Bb C G C/G G C/G F G
There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden
G Dm
The motorcycle black Madonna
F C G C/G G
Two-wheeled gypsy queen
G Dm
And her silver-studded phantom cause
F C G
The gray flannel dwarf to scream
G Bm Am G
As he weeps to wicked birds of prey
Am C D
Who pick up on his bread crumb sins
G Bb C G C/G G C/G F G
And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
G Dm
The kingdoms of experience
F C G C/G G
In the precious winds they rot
G Dm
While paupers change possessions
F C G
Each one wishing for what the other has got
G Bm Am G
And the princess and the prince
Am C D
Discuss what's real and what is not
G Bb C G C/G G C/G F G
It doesn't matter inside the Gates of Eden
G Dm
The foreign sun, it squints upon
F C G C/G G
A bed that is never mine
G Dm
As friends and other strangers
F C G
From their fates try to resign
G Bm Am G
Leaving men wholly totally free
Am C D
To do anything they wish to do but die
G Bb C G C/G G C/G F G
And there are no trials inside the Gates of Eden
G Dm
At dawn my lover comes to me
F C G C/G G
And tells me of her dreams
G Dm
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
F C G
Into the ditch of what each one means
G Bm Am G
At times I think there are no words
Am C D
But these to tell what's true
G Bb C G C/G G C/G G
And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden
