[Intro]

G

[Verse 1]

          G
It was a birthday gift
              Cadd9
Of a Mexican Telecaster
                             G
And from this day on I will play along
                          Cadd9
To all my young pioneers records
     G
And there will be a poetry
    Cadd9
Spoken silently between me and the stereo
G
I'll work mornings
             Cadd9                     G
And you can work through the night

[Chorus]

G      G/B        Cadd9
Mary, there is no hope for us
                      D
If this GM van don't make it aross the state line
            Cadd9
We might as well lay down and die
            G               G/B
Because if Florida takes us
              Cadd9
We're taking everyone down with us
             D
Where we're coming from (yeah)
                     Cadd9    G
Will be the death of us

[Verse 2]

    G
And I cannot help but hold on
     Cadd9
To a handful of times when what was spoken
          G
Was a revolution in itself, and what we were doing
        Cadd9
Was the only thing that mattered
    Em           D
And how good it felt
            Cadd9
To kill the memory of nights spent
              Em
Holding your shirt for the smell
D
I heard you used to cry
     Cadd9
When you made love to him, but this band will play on
        Em                           D
Because all we can do is what we've always done
    Cadd9
And on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on
Em        D   Cadd9
On and on

[Chorus]

G      G/B        Cadd9
Mary, there is no hope for us
                      D
If this GM van don't make it aross the state line
            Cadd9
We might as well lay down and die
            G               G/B
Because if Florida takes us
              Cadd9
We're taking everyone down with us
             D
Where we're coming from (yeah)
                     Cadd9
Will be the death of us

[Chorus]

G
Mary, there is no hope for us
N.C.
If this GM van don't make it
N.C.
Across the state line
N.C.
We might as well lay down and die
N.C.
Because if Florida takes us
N.C.
We're taking everyone down with us
N.C.
Where we're coming from (yeah)
N.C.
Will be the death of us

[Chorus]

G      G/B        Cadd9
Mary, there is no hope for us
                      D
If this GM van don't make it aross the state line
            Cadd9
We might as well lay down and die
            G               G/B
Because if Florida takes us
              Cadd9
We're taking everyone down with us
             D
Where we're coming from (yeah)
                     Cadd9    G
Will be the death of us
