Roll On Simon Joyner
D* - 000233
F* - 055433
Intro : C
[C]You were [G]up to your necklace in drunk friends and wreckage
when the [C]New Year
[G]Stepped out of the past through the rose colored glass
[C]and dropped you off here
[F]With a broken kazoo, a faded marijuana tattoo, [C]and confetti in your [F]hair
F* C
Now you're Jesus' age, \but you've only been betrayed by the calendar
[G]Your mother remarried
after your father was buried
in this s[C]ailor's suit
[G]Now she sells real estate,
he floats in his grave,
and n[C]either has much to say to you
So you [F]follow a cloud
to a Betsy Ross shroud and see the[C] wind try to rip it in two
F*
But it don't make you feel any better
when you're under the weather
and it's hanging over[C] you
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/simon_joyner/roll_on_crd.html )
[F]It's fading, It's fading
[C]So what are you going to d[F]o now?
F*
All America asked was for you to mow the grass,
But you're thinking of thr[F]owing in the towel
C F D*
Roll on, Roll on, Roll on
[C]
[G]Mystery is bandaged
with routine, Plaster-of-Paris,
[C]and mosquito net
[G]While paint thinner blades
strip the windshield of salt cake and[C] sunset
[F]Someone once said
the humble would stumbled
[C]onto something long forgotten and [F]ravaged,
F*
But your dreams soak the pillow
just as a [C]thimble of rain feeds the cactus
[G]So drain your bruises,
cut your scapegoats loose
and confess [C]ignorance
[G]Pull a metaphor out of a river
or a door and add your [C]fingerprints
[F]You could always go west
just like the rest
[C]and bury your head into the [F]hot sand
F*
Or you could dust your broom
and dissolve the moon on your [C]eyelids
[F]It's fading, It's fading
[C]So what are you going to d[F]o now?
F*
All America asked was for you to mow the grass,
But you're thinking of thr[F]owing in the towel
C F D*
Roll on, Roll on, Roll on
Enjoy.
