	        D                 D/F#           G    D
No time frame for what I need to do today
            D/F#  G                  D
here at the yellowhouse I think that I'm gonna play with
     D/F#        G             F
some free living lads down the street... away... away
                                                
(NOTE: I THINK this next part can be played in the open D  position with
just a few modifications but I'm not good enough to move around in such
a small space trying to create all the sounds. If you can do it, tab
it out and send it up. It'd be nice to see a different way of doing this
part of the song.. since I swear I can hear the D and F# notes of the
open D chord being played all the while the chord progression is changing.
This could just be the fact that a bunch of guitars are together though.)

D                           D/F#        G                 D
As I feel the moon rise the time that I feel is the right time
            D/F#     G                D
here in our sleepyhouse as I wipe eye bugs away
           D/F#        G      F
the candle flickers at me and says and in my head I sometimes pray
                D5    E5    D5            E5   F#5  E5  D5   C5  A5  C5  D5
are you feeling fine?          as I was as a little child
                       D5             E5  D5     E5  F#5  E5  D5 C5 A5 C5 D5
and I'm feeling better when I'm high yeah as shining on a little unity.

D                                         D/F#           G
The mistakes that I've made no they don't seem to bother me
D                                              D/F#        G
and I sure as hell don't feel like I've missed any kind of train
D                                       D/F#            G
if I could only show you how I feel you wouldn't bother me
F                                           D
maybe you would see why we don't mind being blind
