[Verse 1]
---------------------
A          D
 They were hiding behind hay bales
          G                   D
They were planting in the full moon
                  Dadd9/C#       Bm7    D/A
They had given all       they had   for something new
G A        D
   But the light of day was on them
           G                   D
They could see the thrashers coming
                   Dadd9/C#    Bm7     D/A          G A
And the water shone       like diamonds   in the dew

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
G               A                   D
 And I was just getting up, hit the road before it's light
G                       A
 Trying to catch an hour on the sun
D       G                   A
 When I saw those thrashers rolling by
        D                       Bm7 D
Looking more than two lanes wide
      Em7                               A
I was feelin' like my day had just begun

[Verse 2]
---------------------
          D
Where the eagle glides, descending
           G                D
There's an ancient river bending
                     Dadd9/C#      Bm7 D/A
Through the timeless gorge  of changes
      G                   A
Where sleeplessness awaits
  D
I searched out my companions
         G                 D
Who were lost in crystal canyons
                 Dadd9/C#         Bm7
When the aimless blade  of science
D/A             G
Slashed the pearly gates

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
A       G                    A
 It was then that I knew I'd had enough
          D                   G
Burned my credit card for fuel
                        A                     D
Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand
       G                     A
With a one way ticket to the land of truth
       D
And my suitcase in my hand
Bm7 D      Em7                                      A
     How I lost my friends, I still don't understand

[Verse 3]
---------------------
D
They had the best selection
          G                   D
They were poisoned with protection
                      Dadd9/C#
There was nothing that       they needed
Bm7 D/A G                   A
        Nothing left to find
          D
They were lost in rock formations
     G                   D
Or became park bench mutations
                     Dadd9/C#      Bm7  D/A
On the sidewalks and in     the stations
          G        A
They were waiting, waiting

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
G                   A
 So I got bored and left them there
          D
They were just dead weight to me
G                    A                 D
 Better down the road without that load
G                          A
 Brings back the time when I was eight or nine
      D                   Bm7 D
I was watchin' my mama's TV  
       Em7                                   A
It was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode

[Verse 4]
---------------------
          D
Where the vulture glides, descending
      G               D
On an asphalt highway bending
                      Dadd9/C# Bm7 D/A G                 A
Through libraries and museums,        galaxies and stars
         D
Down the windy halls of friendship
       G                       D
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
                 Dadd9/C#    Bm7
The motel of lost       companions
D/A           G               A
Waits with heated pool and bar

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
G               A
 But me I'm not stopping there
       D                  G
Got my own row left to hoe
                 A                    D
Just another line in the field of time
G                         A
 When the thrasher comes, I'll be stuck in the sun
     D                       Bm7 D
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
         Em7
But I'll know the time has come
                   A
To give what's mine
