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

Nana nana nana na

Nana nana nana na

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.

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

you will hear what I am talking about.
