 I been on the other side of the Blue Ridge
 D* C* B* G*

 I seen the streets up there

 D* C* B* G*
 I been on the mount transfiguration
 D* C* B* G*
 been there with my ma and my pa
 D* C* B* G*
 on the mountain of commandment
 D* C* B* G*
 I been handed down the law
 D* C* B* G*

 D* C* B* G*
 I fell to the bottom of Thales' well
 D* C* B* G*
 caught like a thief with a lamb
 D* C* B* G*
 you know those stars they can cast a spell
 D* C* B* G*
 I been caught with red hands
 D* C* B* G*
 I been caught with red hands
