       G                      C
on the sunday after the mason dance
         G                C
it’s the one day I can remember when
          G                    C
I felt so pure and really at peace 
with myself
          G                     
I was in love, the sun sang down 
    C
victorious

        Em            G         
but the truth is that I have no 
Am            D
faith in happiness
             Em              G
it turns to fear, draws the devils 
near

    Am           D
so I jumped the fence
             C (walk down to Am)
and went out west

Back to verse chords:

"Abilene
got a sales job as a pharmaceutical 
rep
lived out of hotels, rental cars and
 a stowable bag
I drove all day – from hospital 
pacing and clinic sweats
I drove all night – I couldn’t ever 
sleep now anyway"

Chorus:
"I tried, but the old devils, they 
found me in my room
I hid under the covers and cried out
 as they tore off my sheets
so I went east"

Verse:
"Vietnam
I’m long gone
I’m up the river
way past Mekong"

Chorus:
"but the old devils, they found me 
in my hut
they poured through the windows, 
they cornered me
and I cried out, to no one: "I give 
up.”

End on Am
