A little peace at last, yes I thought that I would stay just for a while 
G            A       Bb                      C             F   Em
Now a shadow cast is all what's left of this wanderer's profile 
    G               Dm          G             Dm
But still I have survived and I know I have arrived 
     G             Dm  F C F Am   Dm F C F Am
Here at the end of miles 

Dm                 F       C            F   Am
I lost it all back east, I sold my El Dorado 
  Dm              F                    C  Am
A stranger helped me when I was thirstiest 
    Dm              F    C              F   Am
For some the end of miles is Denver Colorado 
    G                F              Dm  F
But something always kept me moving west 

G                 A        Bb              C          Dm
I'm lately out of reach in towns along the California shore 
G                A             Bb            C               F   Em
I'm leathery and bleached, I'm lost and I am lonesome to the core
         G               Dm         G            Dm
I've got nowhere left to go but I'm satisifed to know 
            G          Dm  F C F Am   Dm F C F Am
There'll be miles nevermore

[VERSE]
E            F#m       D
 I rode from T J up to Berkeley 
        A              B
 and it started out so grey
        F#        E        D     B
 Till I lost that cool protection 
          F#            E    B    E
 When the sun burned it all away 

[VERSE 2]
E          F#m                   D
 While the winter's light shined down on those 
   A              B
 Revivals from my day 
       F#             E     D     B
 I had dreams of your insurrection 
       F#      E    B    E
 Taken down by Monterey 

[CHORUS]

C // D  F#                    G
         I don't care for the season
C // D  F#                    G
         I don't find it that fun and I've got
A           F#m     D
 Twenty-one reasons I've got
A           F#m         D
 Twenty-one reasons and there go 
F#m         E       D      A   D  A  E
 Twenty-two singers on the run 

[VERSE 3]
E        F#m            D 
 First I saw the digits crawling 
        A             B
 Slowly up the rocky coast
           F#     E   D     B
 Just some separated fingers 
         F#        E     B   E
 Looking for their fingerpost 

[VERSE 4] - same chords as previous verses
From the water jumped a bloody hand 
Needing desperately a host 
When I saw the bald bell ringers 
Well I knew then that you were toast 

-CHORUS [1x]-

[SOLO] - verse chords one time through

[VERSE 5 & 6]
Then went up the baby babels 
Where the iron bells were hung 
They couldn't get them any higher 
And those iron bells were rung 

With the singers now all gathered 
They collected every tongue 
And so now it was required 
For every soul to turn the dung 

-CHORUS [1x]-

[SOLO] - verse chords once, chorus chords once

[VERSE 7 & 8]
Well you sure can hear a rumble
on the royal road today 
And those grand halls of correction 
well I think that they're here to stay 

From the time that you are born 
there are certain bells you must obey 
best you plan for the resurrection 
best you lower your head and pray 

-CHORUS [1x]-

[HALF of CHORUS]

 Twenty-two singers on the run

Verse
C G/Em Am Em
I went climbing up a weedy hill
C G/Em Am Em
Just to see what I could see
C G/Em Am Em
There far below the Hindu shrine

Where I go from time to time
(Same chords)
And up at the top I met dead Andy
I?m not sure how he got killed
But nailed to a tree is a photograph
Yeah I always tip my hat

And what?s that you say ?

Verse :
Up in the flats of Leo Carillo
Is a place where I can sleep
A great big rock where I did dream
A happy stone age dream
And the darkness ?round me started to creep
And I knew that I had to go
?cause night is the hour of the mountain lion
Who sent me back home cryin?

Chorus x2
