Am                         Am/G                   F 
The multitude assembled and tried to make the noise 
Am                         Am/G                          F 
Them blank blind poet generals and restless loud white boys 
Am                         Am/G                            F 
But time grew thin and the axis was left somehow incomplete  
C                     G                  Am  Am/G         F 
Where instead of child lions, they found agein' junkie sheep 

Am                        Am/G                          F 
And how many wasted have I seen signed 'Hollywood or bust' 
Am                     Am/G                    F 
Oh left to ride them ever ghostly Arizona gusts 
Am                         Am/G                                   F 
Cheerleader tramps and kids with big amps soundin' helpless in the void 
  C                     G                  Am   Am/G                   F 
Oh high society vamps and ex-heavyweight champs mistakin' soot for soil 

C  G        F      C          G                   F             
Oh so break me now big Mama as Old Faithful breaks the day 
C           G        F       C             G               
Believe me my good Linda, help is on the way 
Am                      Am/G             F 
The confederacy's in my name now, them hounds are held at bay 
Am                 Am/G       Dm       Em              F 
The axis needs a stronger arm, do you feel your mus-cle play? 

Am Am/G F 

Am                        Am/G                         F 
Well the doorstep blanket weaver, Madonna she pushes bells 
Am                        Am/G                  F 
From house to house to house I see her givin' last kisses and wishin' wells 
Am                        Am/G                                   F 
To every gypsy mystic and all-star that the kids might find a place 
 C                     G                   Am      Am/G                  F 
Who've lost for ever true fathers on their time travels out in space 

Am                            Am/G                                 F 
Oh and the sons they search for fathers, but the fathers are all gone 
Am                           Am/G                              F 
The lost souls search for saviours, but saviours don't last long 
Am                            Am/G                                F 
Them aimless questless renegade brats who live their lives in songs 
  C                     G                  Am        Am/G                        F 
They run the length of a candle, and in a goodnight whisper and a puff they're gone 

C            G        F      C          G        F             
Oh so break me now big Mama as Old Faithful breaks the day 
C           G        F       C             G               
Believe me my good Linda, help is on the way 
Am                      Am/G             F 
The confederacy's in my name now, them hounds are held at bay 
Am                 Am/G       Dm                Em       F 
The axis needs a stronger arm, do you feel your mus-cle play? 

Am                        Am/G                                      F 
Well now the missions are filled with hermits and they're all lookin' for a friend 
Am                        Am/G                            F 
And the terraces are filled with cat-men lookin' for a way in 
Am                        Am/G                               F 
These orphans lost up on silver mountains, jumped, jumped in alleyways 
Am                 Am/G       Dm                Em    F 
They wait for that old tramp Dog Man Moses, he takes in all the strays 

Am                        Am/G                                    F 
And he told me, 'don't grow on empty legends or lonely cradle songs 
Am                        Am/G                                         F 
Because Billy the Kid was just a bowery boy who made a living twirlin' his guns 
Am                        Am/G                                    F 
And the night she's long, she's lanky, and she speaks in a mother tongue' 
Am                 Am/G       Dm                Em      F 
And he lullabied the refugees with an amplifier's hum 

C              G        F      C       G               F             
Oh we could break us now big Mama as Old Faithful she breaks the day 
C          G        F       C         G               
Leave me, now, good Linda, the aurora will shine your way 
Am                      Am/G             F 
The confederacy's in my name now, them hounds are held at bay 
Am                 Am/G       Dm            Em           F 
The axis needs a stronger arm, do you feel your mus-cle play? 
Am                      Am/G              F 
The confederacy's in my name now, them hounds are held at bay 
Am                 Am/G       Dm       Em                 F 
The axis needs a stronger arm, do you feel your mus-cle play?
