The Bloody Dotted Line

Am


[Verse]
  Am                          
I used to dream in color and I 
 G               Am
wished away the days
 Am                                
Waiting on the slightest chance 
  G
that I would get to play
   Am                              
A gilded harp, a silver horn with a
 G             Am
 bonny tune to sing
  Am                           
A place inside a golden hall to 
 G                 Am
prance around the king


[Chorus]
     G                       Am
When I was young I wished to be
C                   F
Up to my neck in a fantasy
          C            Dm         
Why did I sign on that bloody 
   Am
dotted line?
G                      Em   Am
Let the devils hold it over me

[Verse]
Am                           
Is it a crime to live when you 
     G              Am
cannot afford the means?

Am                                
Is it a crime to walk the earth 
   G
like ravenous machines?
   Am                         
Is there a way to bridge a gap 
  G               Am
across a great divide?
   Am                             
Is it a secret thrill to know the 
G                Am
gods are on your side?


[Chorus]
     G                       Am
When I was young I wished to be
C                   F
A landed man with a back forty
          C            Dm         
Why did I sign on that bloody 
    Am
dotted line?
G                      Em   Am
Let the devils hold it over me

Em                        D      
The smoke still clouds my wits. 
   G                    C
The stink still fills my pores
         Am                        
From the night they kicked down the
 Em             D              D
 door, down the door, down the door
Em                        D      
The blood still stains my lips. 
   G                     C
The grief still chafes my soul
   Am                         
My pride was raked through the 
 Em                 D             
coals, through the coals, through 
     D
the coals
Em            D           G     
Yonder prison walls, they own my
           C
 flesh and bones
       Am                 Em      
But my thoughts are mine alone, 
     D           D
mine alone, mine alone
