Thrasher

C*
They were hiding behind hay bales,
            F              C
They were planting in the full moon
          C    C/B      Am7     
They had given all they had for 
Am7/G      F   G
something new
         C*
But the light of day was on them,
            F                 C
They could see the thrashers coming
         C     C/B         Am7
And the water shone like diamonds
Am7/G   F    G
In the dew.

F               G
And I was just getting up,
     C*                    F  F* F
Hit the road before it's light
F                   G           
Trying to catch an hour on the 
C*  Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C
sun
        F                    G
When I saw those thrashers rolling 
by,
         C        C/B       Am7  
Looking more than two lanes wide
Am/C

       Dm7                         
I was feelin' like my day had just 
  G
begun.

           C*
Where the eagle glides descending
            F             C
There's an ancient river bending
          C        C/B       Am7  
Down the timeless gorge of changes
Am7/G

        F             G
where sleeplessness awaits
    C*
I searched out my companions,
          F                C
Who were lost in crystal canyons
          C       C/B      Am7
When the aimless blade of science
Am7/G         F            G
Slashed the pearly gates.

F                       G
It was then I knew I'd had enough,
            C*             F   F* F
Burned my credit card for fuel
F                        G       
Headed out to where the pavement 
          C
turns to sand
        F                     G
With a one-way ticket to the land of
 truth
         C      C/B    Am7   Am7/G
And my suitcase in my hand
       Dm7                         
How I lost my friends I still don't
        G
 understand.

 C*
They had the best selection,
           F                C*
They were poisoned with protection
            C*    C/B        Am7  
There was nothing that they 
Am7/G
needed,
F                G
Nothing left to find
           C*
They were lost in rock formations
     F                  C
Or became park bench mutations
         C       C/B         Am7 
On the sidewalks and in the 
   Am7/G
stations
            F         G
They were waiting, waiting.

F                   G
So I got bored and left them there,
                C             F   
They were just deadweight to me
F* F

 F                G               
Better down the road without that 
  C
load
 F                             
Brings back the time when I was 
  G
eight or nine
        C                 Am7   
I was watchin' my mama's T.V.,
Am7/G

             Dm7              
It was that great Grand Canyon 
             G
rescue episode.
            C*
Where the vulture glides descending
       F                C
On an asphalt highway bending
         C     C/B    Am7  Am7/G
Thru libraries and museums,
 F             G
Galaxies and stars
           C*
Down the windy halls of friendship
       F                     C
To the rose clipped by the bullwhip
       C      C/B    Am7
The motel of lost companions
Am7/G       F               G
Waits with heated pool and bar.

F                G
But me I'm not stopping there,
        C               F   F*  F
Got my own row left to hoe
F             G                   
Just another line in the field of 
 C
time
F                                 
When the thrashers comes, I'll be 
  G
stuck in the sun
           C             Am7   Am7/G
Like the dinosaurs in shrines
          Dm7
But I'll know the time has come
                G
To give what's mine.
