Long Road Out Of Eden Chords

[Verse 1]
 
        Am              D
           MOON SHINING DOWN THROUGH THE PALMS
        Am                        D
           SHADOWS MOVING ON THE SAND
        Am                         D
           SOMEBODY WHISPERING THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM
        Am                    D
           DUSTY RIFLE IN HIS TREMBLING HAND
        Am                         D
           SOMEBODY TRYING JUST TO STAY ALIVE
        Am                 D
           HE GOT PROMISES TO KEEP
        Am                    D
           OVER THE OCEAN IN AMERICA
        Am               D
           FAR AWAY AND FAST ASLEEP

                SILENT STARS BLINKING IN THE BLACKNESS OF AN ENDLESS SKY
                F           G/B         F/C     G/D      Am
                COLD SILVER SATELLITES, GHOSTLY CARAVANS PASSING BY
                F          G/B      F/C              G/D
                GALAXIES UNFOLDING, NEW WORLDS BEING BORN
                F            G/B       F/C                 G/D
                PILGRIMS AND PRODIGALS CREEPING TOWARD THE DAWN
                           C    E7           Am
                AND IT’S A LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN
 
 
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
 
        MUSIC BLASTING FROM AN SUV
        ON A BRIGHT AND SUNNY DAY
        ROLLING DOWN THE INTERSTATE
        IN THE GOOD OL’ U.S.A.
        HAVING LUNCH AT THE PETROLEUM CLUB
        SMOKING FINE CIGARS AND SWAPPING LIES
        “GIMME ANOTHER SLICE OF THAT BARBEQUE BRISKET”
        “GIMME ANOTHER PIECE OF THAT PECAN PIE”
 
 
[Refrain 2]
 
                FREEWAYS FLICKERING, CELL PHONES CHIMING A TUNE
                WE’RE RIDING TO UTOPIA,
                ROAD MAP SAYS WE’LL BE ARRIVING SOON
                CAPTAINS OF THE OLD ORDER CLINGING TO THE REINS
                ASSURING US THESE ACHES INSIDE ARE ONLY GROWING PAINS
                           C    E7           Am
                BUT IT’S A LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN
 
 
[Bridge]
 
               (Am)  C    G
                Am   C    G    D
                Am   C    G
                Am   C    G    D
 
 
[Refrain 3]
 
                     F             G
                BACK HOME I WAS SO CERTAIN
                    F             G
                THE PATH WAS VERY CLEAR
                    F              G
                BUT NOW I HAVE TO WONDER
                     F             G
                WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
                        F              G
                I’M NOT COUNTING ON TOMORROW
                      F                     G
                AND I CAN’T TELL WRONG FROM RIGHT
                    F            G               F               G
                BUT I’D GIVE ANYTHING TO BE THERE IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHT
 
 
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
 
        WEAVING DOWN THE AMERICAN HIGHWAY
        THROUGH THE LITTER, AND THE WRECKAGE, AND THE CULTURAL JUNK
        BLOATED WITH ENTITLEMENT, LOADED ON PROPAGANDA
        NOW WE’RE DRIVING DAZED AND DRUNK
        BEEN DOWN THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS, THE ROAD TO MANDALAY
        MET THE GHOST OF CAESAR ON THE APPIAN WAY
        HE SAID, “IT’S HARD TO STOP THIS BINGING, ONCE YOU GET A TASTE,
        BUT THE ROAD TO EMPIRE IS A BLOODY STUPID WASTE”
 
 
[Outro]
 
                  F               G          F            G
                BEHOLD THE BITTEN APPLE, THE POWER OF THE TOOLS
                    F                 G               F            G
                BUT ALL THE KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD IS OF NO USE TO FOOLS
                           C    E7            Am
                AND IT’S A LONG ROAD, OUT OF EDEN
