I've alternated my meager plot to the shores
of the Baltic Sea
A
C# F#m B E
The teeth of time have stowed the rhyme of how
things shouldn't be
F E Eb
Bb
My cave, my house, my turning wheel, my little
docking pup
B Ab A(add9) (hold)
The march of Colonel Forbin,
and his fleahound called McGrupp
The grime of countless workdogs
has collected in my sink
I tie my nose with spandex hose before I get a
drink
We lie on frozen warthogs, with its poison in
our minds
While the ferns that spot our children are
encased in orange rinds...
Bridge 2:
F#m E D C#
All times and seasons are the reasons people
and their clans
F#m E D C#
Have stoned the Famous Mockingbird with glue
and rubber bands
D E F#m G
They rise and cry in agony, as Rutherford the
Brave
F#m E D E
Chokes Tela and the
Unit Monster, managing to save...
F#m E D C#
The spotted striper's multi-beast and there by
cheat his grave
A
C# F#m B E
I'd like to get his autograph, but he looks
too much like Dave
F E Eb Bb
He looks too much like Dave, he looks too much
like Dave,
Ab Abm Bb
He looks too much.... He looks too much... He
looks too much ...
Abm A
He looks too much.... He looks too much

Then
we have F#m--G--E/G# which slowly
breaks down and slides up which then leads us back to the intro for the ending
of the tune.
And
just slide down down down
down.....
Back
into the intro chords(Emaj7 & Bm7)
For
the end you just hit the B & E twelfth fret harmonics.
That
is as close as I could get with the song.
It at least all sounds right.
