Cifras
Long Road Out Of Eden

 Am7                   D7 
Moon shining down through the palms
 Am7                                     D7 
Shadows moving on the sand
 Am7                                         D7 
Somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm
 Am7                               D7 
Dusty rifle in his trembling hands
 Am7                                         D7 
Somebody trying just to stay alive
 Am7                               D7 
He got promises to keep
 Am7                               D7 
Over the ocean in America
 Am7                               D7 
Far away and fast asleep
 F                       G                             F                             G             Am  A9  Am 
Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky
 F                     G                     F             G               Am  A9  Am 
Cold silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by
 F                   G               F                               G 
Galaxies unfolding, new worlds being born
 Dm                     D9         Dm 
Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn
 C                             E                       Am 
But it's a long road out of Eden

 Am7                                       D7 
Music blasting from an SUV
 Am7                                     D7 
On a bright and sunny day
                                D7 
Rolling down the interstate
 Am7                             D7 
In the good ol' USA
 Am7                                       D7 
Having lunch at the petroleum club
 Am7                                                   D7 
Smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lives
 Am7                                                                     D7 
He said: "gimme 'nother slice o' that barbecued brisket!"
 Am7                                                   D7 
"gimme 'nother piece o' that pecan pie!"
 F               G                     F                     G     Am  A9  Am 
Freeways flickering, cell phones chiming a tune
 F                             G             F               G                         Am  A9  Am 
We're riding to utopia, road map says we'll be arriving soon
 F                             G                 F                             G 
Captains of the old order clinging to the reins
 Dm                               D9                       Dm 
Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains
 C                             E                     Am 
But it's a long road out of Eden

 F                                   G 
Back home I was so certain
 F                                 G 
The path was very clear
 Dm                               D9       Dm 
But now I have to wonder: "what are we doing here?"
 F                                     G 
I'm not counting on tomorrow
 F                               G 
And I can't tell wrong from right
 Dm                     D9                               Dm 
But I'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight

 Am7                             D7 
Weaving down the American highway
 Am7                                                                                 D7 
Through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk
 Am7                                             D7 
Bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda
 Am7                                     D7 
And now we're driving dazed and drunk
 Am7 
Been down the road to Damascus,
 D7 
The road to Mandalay
 Am7                                                       D7 
Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian way
 Am7                                                                               D7 
He said, "it's hard to stop this bingeing, once you get a taste."
 Am7                                                   D7 
"but the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste."
 F                                         G       F                             G 
Behold the bitten apple - the power of the tools
 Dm                                       D9                           Dm 
But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools
 C                             E                     Am 
And it's a long road out of Eden....
