EMy Daddy was a rounder

Had to make himself some change

E7Climbed down off the mountain

Shaved his head and caught a train

 But I kAeep my G♯mskillet F♯mgreasy

EKeep my lAamp G♯mtrimmed 'n' Elow

 My wAeary G♯mfeet, these fF♯mloors I wEalk

 But Awhy I'll never kBnow

 And I hEear echoes of his heart

 Beating bBack from distant lEands

And I hear the lonesome whistle

 Of that trBain that stole my Eman

2.

EAnd I cuddle to my child

Teach him to bear the shame

To take the blows

That choose the frows and

Earn an honest name

 But mAoney's rG♯munning F♯mlow, you kEnow?

 No fAriends to G♯mhelp me tEhrough

 Just oAne last tG♯mhing F♯mI can seEll

 And tAhat will have to Bdo

 But I fEeel hunger in my sunken cheeks

 In the tBremble of my hEand

And I feel the rumblin' of the wheels

 Of that tBrain that stole my mEan

EMy mind just takes to ramblin'

As the day goes walkin' west

And Magnus comes a-crawlin'

Through that hole inside my breast

 And sAorrow sG♯mings the sF♯mimple sEong

 That sAcreams the G♯mwhole night tEhrough

 A mAeloG♯mdy of F♯mhim and Eme

 That nAever rang so tBrue

 And I sEee dark clouds on the rise

 And I see mBidgets in the sEand

They paint my sight with visions

 Of that trBain that stole my mEan

EAnd I dreamt I found his crossroads

 In the lBand of sticks and sEtones

Where the peggy worries of the heart

 Are Bworries so unEknown

 He tAook me G♯min his F♯marms, you kEnow

 And tAied me G♯mto his sEide

 CAaught that fG♯mirst wind F♯moff the hEills

 And fuArther we did rBide

 Well I fEelt his touch upon my breast

 That uBnforgiving hEand

But when I woke, could smell the smoke

 Of that tBrain that stole my mEan

ENow the wind runs through my skin

 And the rBain runs through my eEyes

Can't find no ground to hold my feet

 Lord kBnows how hard I tEries!

 For cAome the dG♯mawn, I'll cF♯mlean my tEeeth

 And pAowderG♯m up my cEhest

 Take Aoff this fG♯maded aF♯mpron, bEabe

 And put oAn my Sunday bBest

 To bEind the strings to fix my heart

 I'm gBonna look to holy lEands

And lay my back down on the track

 Of that tBrain that stole my mEan
