A     E        A       E (2x)

[verse 1]

B
Forefather pointed to kingdom come
F#
Sadly told his only son
A
Just be careful what you do
E            D7      E           
It all comes back on you.

B
False witness spread the news
F#
Somebody's gonna lose
A                   F#m
Either she or me or you,
E
Nothing we can do.

[chorus]

A         G#m    E
Don't you say a word
       A      G#m    E
Or reveal a thing you've learned
A            G#m     C#m
Time will tell you well
         F#m         B
If you truly, truly fell

A           E
Tarred and feathered, yea!
A            E
Thistles and thorns,
A          E
One or the other
A          E
He kindly warns.
A                    E
Now you look out the window tell me
A           E
What do you see?
A              E
I see a golden calf pointing
A       E
Back at me.

[verse 2]

B
I been sitting in here for so darn long
F#
Waitin' for the end to come along.
A
Holy roaster on the brink
       E        D7      E
Take a chance, swim or sink.

B
False witness, cast an evil eye
F#
said I cannot tell a lie,
A      
Haints and saints don't bother me
        E     D7   E
I'm not alone you see.

A         G#m    E
Don't you say a word
       A      G#m    E
Or reveal a thing you've learned
A            G#m     C#m
Time will tell you well
         F#m         B
If you truly, truly fell

A           E
Tarred and feathered, yea!
A            E
Thistles and thorns,
A          E
One or the other
A          E
He kindly warns.
A                    E
Now you look out the window tell me
A           E
What do you see?
A              E
I see a golden calf pointing
A       E
Back at me.
