Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
: xx022x or xx0220
let the camera pull back
til the fullness of the frame is clear and plain
peer into the screen until you see it all
like a vision in a crystal ball
let it all fill with smoke
is this somebody's idea of a joke?
let the fixer work until the silver's washed away
and take the picture from the tray
look hard at what you see
and then remember you and me
and let the truth spring free
like a jack in the box
like a hundred thousand cuckoo clocks
from the oregon corners
to the iowa corn
to the rooms with the heat lamps where the snakes get born
(same as other verses)
crawl through the tunnel and follow,
follow the light northwest
see that young man who dwells inside his body
like an uninvited guest
see the tunnel twist
clutch your birthright in your fist
(same as other verses)
let the camera do its dirty work
down there in the dark
sink low, rise high, and bring back some blurry pictures
to remember all your darker moments by
permanent bruises on our knees
never forget what it felt like to live in rooms like these
from the california coastline
to the iowa corn
to the rooms with the heat lamps where the snakes get born
Repeat verse chords once or twice and end on D
