Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I don't care if it rains or freezes

as long as I've got my plastic Jesus

sitting on the dashboard of my car

it comes in colors pink and pleasant

it glows in the dark cause its iridescent

I'll take it with me whenever I go far

so give me my lady Madonna

dressed in rhinestones and sitting on a

pedestal of abalone shells

driving 90 but I'm not scared

because I've got my Virgin Mary

assuring me that I will never go to hell

(Plucking string)

And by the way You know that

hope will make you strange

Make you blink, make you blank, make you sink

It will make you afraid of change

And often blame

The box with the view of the world

And the walls that fill the frame

I turn it up

but then I turn it off

Because I can't stand when they start to talk

About the hurting and killing

Whose shoes are we filling

The damage and ruin

Man, the things that we're doing

Good god, We gotta stop, we gotta turn it all off

We gotta rewind

and start it up again

Because we fell across the fall line

Ain't there nothing sacred anymore

Nana nana nana na

Somebody saw him jump

But nobody saw him slip

I guess he lost a lot of hope

And then he lost his grip

Now he's lying in the freeway

In the middle of this mess

Guess we lost another one

Just like the other one

Optimistic hypocrite

That didn't have the nerve to quit

The things that kept him wanting more

Until he finally reached the core

He fell across the fall line

Ain't there nothing sacred anymore

We all fell across the fall line

Ain't there nothing sacred anymore

Na na na, na, nanana

All my friends are getting older,

I guess I must be too.

Without their love and kindness

I don’t want I’ll do, Oh

The wine bottle’s half empty

The money’s all been spent

We’re a cross between our parents

And hippies in a tent. OH,

Love calls just like a wild bird

It’s just another day

Spring blew my list of things to do away.

In a mucked up lovely river

I cast my my little fly

But I look at that river and I smell it and

it makes me want to cry, Oh

To clean our dirty planet

Now there’s a noble wish

Now I putting shoulder to the wheel

Cause I wanna catch some fish, Oh

Love calls just like a wild bird

It’s just another day

Spring blew my list of things to do away.

A* At this point Jack plucks the D string and strums A. Then covers the E string on

the second fret with his thumb, pluck and then strum A again.

A** Same as A* except cover E with thumb on 3rd fret, strum A, back to thumb on 2nd

strum A and go to G.

Hope this helps! If you listen to the song performed on “Weekend at the Greek” you

will hear what I am talking about.
