Lonesome and Mad

[First Part]

                         E
I feel like I want to go home
      C#m
But I am home
                 G#
And the cardinal calls out
             A
Lonesome and mad
            E
From the walnut tree

                              E
The flowers you planted have died
                    C#m
And now, here, they shiver
            G#7
Swaying and pedal-bare
       A                  E
As the wind comes through whistling

[Solo] E  C#m  G#  A  E

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]

G#                          A
Cactus flower blooms in the desert
          E
Under the stars
               A
Sprouts in the asphalt
          E
Under the cars
             F#m         G
Spitting and sputtering

G#                       A
You know well that I was never
         E
Ate by a whale
                A
My lies are the dead bird
                     E                B
That gives this sad, grim parking lot meaning

[Second Part]

                         E
I feel like I want to go home
      C#m
But I am home
                 G#           G#7         A
And I dream of a kettle drum, booming and wailing
               E
From somewhere far away

E
And here I will wait by the door
            C#m
Like an old dog
            G#        G#7        A
Hearing the footsteps of all the strangers
             E
Who are just passing by

[Ending] E  C#m  G#  A
        E  C#m  G#  A  E
