Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

----------------

At ten o'clock is when I rise from my grave

And cast my eyes over the ideas that I couldn't save

Become regret and break upon me now wave after wave

Bid me remember what I done

A strange appeal is in the magazine zodiac

What inspiration are the women of the dog track

Now there's a wheel and there's a well and there's a big rack

The perfumed killers from the north

Collect each Saturday to brood and sally forth

I don't know enough to know not to show it

  Or tell it like I know more

I'm sorry, baby, but your roving poet's

  Just a bank balance troubadour

  Who can't sing the song anymore

----------------

At ten o'clock is when you open up your apple eyes

And drink a cup into the one of earth the other skies

And out your mouth a tiny burst of tiny baby cries

Oh where, oh where, oh where did you get into to?

A strange appeal unto a pocket where a body lay

I saw a dream of such a couple only yesterday

When the one did leave the other went to war Enola Gay

She had a halo, was a heroine

She had a halo, was a heroine

Well, I know I'm not loathe to show it

I smile like a bandsaw

I'm sorry, darling, but your roving poet's

  Just a footloose man-whore

  Who can't talk the talk anymore

We're just passing through

Just passing through

At ten o'clock is when I rise from my grave

And cast my eyes over the ideas that I couldn't save

Become regret and break upon me now wave after wave

Bid me remember what I done

  When time doesn't tear you pay a fee to make it rip

  The ditch witch, the back hoe, the bobcat, the tip

  Soil from the hillock spilling over on that solemn lip

It covers up the cedar mirror

  Do you ever see your weakness any clearer?

We were winding up the road to the site

  With the windows down and the cigarettes alight

  Singing some rubbish about, "My soul's alright"

I didn't know what I could do

[repeat x2]

 It's just you and I, some other guy, forever passing through.

We're just passing through

(Like a gall stone)

Just passing through

(Like a rat through a snake)

Just passing through

(Little rubbish through a rake)

Just passing through
