            A                          C
Whell I felt like I was born today
        A                         C
So I took it upon me to go away
       A                                C
To gather my thoughts and go away
          Bb                                 A
Where I could be used by somebody
          A                          C
Now over the hill, like always you know
                        A                 C
Were Billy and Frankie and Henry and Joe
                 A                        C
And they beat and broke me hard and slow
      Bb                    A
To prove I was nobody
       A                        G
And no-one I was and so I remained
                A                      G
Knocked-out in a hut, no mother, no name
         A                              G
And filled up my heart with one and the same
          A                  G                A
That grand dark feeling of emptiness
A                                  C
And was it a friend that turned me loose
      A                              C
Or was it a girl come to baste my goose
      A                                  C
Or was it my great god who laid on his finger
         Bb                     A
And started my clock anew
      A                           G
Ah no, it was rain ; ah no, it was gunning
           A                                        G
It was point-break and buckle and singing and cunning
           A                                           G
That skinned me, re-skinned me and started me running
          A                G                    A
And I never looked back from then on
A
And now I am learning bit by bit
G
 About the make and model shit
       F
The muddy bowl I live in it
        E                        A
And all the mucks that tire us
A
And I'm afeared if I don't have
G
 A piglet, lamb or little calve
     F
I'll chop my human-ness in half
       E                   A
And be as worm or virus
A
But kids I've had, and they are sung
G
Upon folks' ears my babes are hung
F
Rhythmically they live among
        E                        A
And grow but don't get old
A
Not in a box, not in a void
G
Not if their voice is never heard
 F
Nor if no-one repeats a word
E                         A
But if their tune is told
C                              G
Then we can age and fall away
              C                          G
To meet again some golden day
     A                  G
And fill it in our happy way
       F                   E
In starlight and in gold
