Goodbye And Hello

    Am                 D
The antique people are down in the 
dungeons
Am                  D
Run by machines and afraid of the 
tax
      Am                           
Their heads in the grave and their 
D
hands on their eyes
Am                          G
Hauling their hearts around circular
 tracks
   F                     C
Pretending forever their masquerade 
towers
    G                       Gsus4
Are not really riddled with widening
 cracks
G
And I wave goodbye to iron
F                      Gm
And smile hello to the air

      Gm           F               
O the new children dance      I am 
Eb
young
    D          Gm                 
All around the balloons       I 
   F
will live
Eb         D                      
Swaying by chance             I am
 Gm
 strong
       F               Eb         
To the breeze from the moon   I 
  D
can give
Gm           F                   
Painting the sky              You
     Eb
 the strange
         D         Gm             
With the colors of sun        Seed
    F
 of day
Eb          D                    
Freely they fly               
      Gm
Feel the change
   F          Eb                  
As all become one             Know
     D             Gm / F / E D G
 the Way, know the Way

G / / / (x2)

    G                C
The velocity addicts explode on the 
highway
  G                      C
Ignoring the journey and moving so 
fast
      G                         
Their nerves fall apart and they 
 C
gasp but can't breathe
     G                       
They run from the cops of the 
 C
skeleton past
     F                     
Petrified by tradition in a 
 C
nightmare they stagger
G                            Bb   
Into nowhere at all and then look 
Am F G
up aghast
G
And I wave goodbye to speed
F                    Gm
And smile hello to a rose

O the new children play   I am young
Under juniper trees       I will 
live
Sky blue or grey          I am 
strong
They continue at ease     I can give
Moving so slow            You the 
strange
That serenely they can    Seed of 
day
Gracefully grow           Feel the 
change
And yes still understand  Know the 
Way

The king and the queen in their

castle of billboards
G                           Bb Am
Sleepwalk down the hallways 
 Gm   F
dragging behind
Gm                        Bb  Am
All their possessions and 
    Gm   F
transient treasures
Gm                    Bb   Am  
As they go to worship the 
Gm    F
electronic shrine
C                       Eb
On which is playing the late late 
commercial
        F                     
In that hollowest house of the 
 C       G
opulent blind
G
And I wave goodbye to Mammon
F                    Gm
And smile hello to a stream

O the new children buy    I am young
All the world for a song  I will 
live
Without a dime            I am 
strong
To which they belong      I can give
Nobody owns               You the 
strange
Anything anywhere         Seed of 
day
Everyone's grown          Feel the 
change
Up so big they can share  Know the 
Way

    C                   Bb        
The vaudeville generals cavort on 
    C
the stage
And shatter their audience with 
Bb         C
submachine guns
                             Bb    
And Freedom and Violence the 
  C
acrobat clowns
                          Bb       
Do a balancing act on the graves of
     C
 our sons

While the tapdancing Emperor sings 
"War is peace"
(N.C.)
And Love the Magician disappears in 
the fun
G
And I wave goodbye to murder
F                      Gm
And smile hello to the rain

O the new children can't   I am 
young
Tell a foe from a friend   I will 
live
Quick to enchant           I am 
strong
And so glad to extend      I can 
give
Handfuls of dawn           You the 
strange
To kaleidoscope men        Seed of 
day
Come from beyond           Feel the 
change
The Great Wall of Skin     Know the 
Way

D                          C
The bloodless husbands are jesters 
who listen
     D                       
Like sheep to the shrieks and 
    C
commands of their wives
        D                          
And the men who aren't men leave 
  C
the women alone
D                             G  
See them all faking love on a bed
         F
 made of knives
 D                    C
Afraid to discover or trust in their
 bodies
       D                       
And in secret divorce they will 
 G        F
never survive
G
And I wave goodbye to ashes
F                    Gm
And smile hello to a girl

O the new children kiss       I am 
young
They are so proud to learn    I will
 live
Womanwood bliss               I am 
strong
And the manfire that burns    I can 
give
Knowing no fear               You 
the strange
They take off their clothes   Seed 
of day
Honest and clear              Feel 
the change
As a river that flows         Know 
the Way

    Am                 D
The antique people are fading out 
slowly
     Am                    D
Like newspapers flaming in mind's 
suicide
Am                    D
Godless and sexless directionless 
loons
      Am                  G
Their sham sandcastles dissolve in 
the tide
     F                          
They put on their deathmasks and 
 C
compromise daily
    G                              
The new children will live for the 
Bb Am  F    G
elders have died
G
And I wave goodbye to America
F                      Gm
And smile hello to the world
