[Verse 1]
D                    F#m      
Well the multitude assembled and 
    G                D
tried to make the noise
D                      F#m       
Them black blind poet generals 
    G                 A
and restless loud white boys
     Bm                      A    
But time's grew thin and the axis 
      G            D
grew somehow incomplete
        G                          
Where instead of child lions we had
  A             D
 aging junkie sheep

[Verse 2]
D                            F#m 
Well how many wasted have I seen 
         G            D
signed "Hollywood or bust"
D                       F#m       
And left to ride the ever ghostly 
G       A
Arizona gusts
 Bm                     A         
Cheerleader tramps and kids with 
        G                D
big amps sounding in the void
        G                          
High society vamps, ex-heavyweight 
      A                    D
champs mistaking soot for soil

[Chorus]
D           F#m     G            
So break me now big Mama, as Old 
D        F#m        G
Faithful breaks the day
   D       F#m      G            
Believe me my good Linda, the 
D        F#m       G
aurora will shine the way
        Bm            A           
The confederacy's in my name now, 
     G
the hounds are held at bay
    D              G              
The axis needs a stronger arm, do 
     A                 D  Dsus4  
you feel your muscles play
D  Dsus4


[Verse 3]
D                         F#m     
Well the doorstep blanket weaver, 
 G              D
Madonna pushes bells

D                         F#m    
From house to house I see her 
          G                  A
giving last kisses and wishing well
          Bm           A          
To every gypsy mystic hero that 
  G                 D
the kids might find a place
         G                         
Who get lost forever to mom and 
            A               D
pop, on their weekends out in space

[Verse 4]
D                         F#m    
Well sons they search for 
           G              D
fathers, but the fathers are all 
gone
D                          F#m   
The lost souls search for 
        G                A
saviors, but saviors don't last long
       Bm                  A      
Those nameless questless renegade 
           G                   D
brats who live their lives in song
      G                            
They run the length of a candle 
              A              
with a goodnight whisper then 
      D
they're gone

[Chorus]
D           F#m     G            
So break me now big Mama, as Old 
D        F#m        G
Faithful breaks the day
   D       F#m      G            
Believe me my good Linda, the 
D        F#m       G
aurora will shine the way
        Bm            A           
The confederacy's in my name now, 
     G
the hounds are held at bay
    D              G              
The axis needs a stronger arm, do 
     A                 D   Dsus4  
you feel your muscles play
D  Dsus4


Yeah!

[Verse 5]
         D                        
Well the missions are filled with 
F#m               G         
hermits, they're looking for a 
   D
friend
D                             F#m
The terraces are filled with 
           G               A
cat-men just looking for a way in
       Bm                A   
Those orphans jumped on silver 
             G             
mountains lost in celestial 
       D
alleyways
                    G              
They wait for that old tramp Dog 
            A                 D
Man Moses, he takes in all the 
strays

[Verse 6]
D                            F#m 
Now don't you grow on empty 
        G             D
legends, or lonely cradle songs
D                          F#m   
Billy the Kid was just a bowery 
               G                  
boy who made a living twirling his 
A
guns
    Bm                    A       
The night she's long and lanky, 
       G                  D
and she speaks in a mother tongue
    G                              
She lullabies the refugees with an 
 A          D
amplifier's hum

[Chorus]
D           F#m     G            
So break me now big Mama, as Old 
 D        F#m        G
Faithful breaks the day
   D       F#m      G            
Believe me my good Linda, the 
D        F#m       G
aurora will shine the way
        Bm            A           
The confederacy's in my name now, 
     G
the hounds are held at bay
     D              G             
The axis needs a stronger arm, do 
      A                 D
you feel your muscles play
        Bm            A           
The confederacy's in my name now, 
    G
the hounds are held at bay
     D              G             
The axis needs a stronger arm, do 
      A                 D
you feel your muscles play
