Note: The solo lead is just noodling around in B.  
      Play with a similar rhythm to the recording and it'll sound fine.

Lyrics (not 100% accurate): 

You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 
That key you got won't fit that lock no more 
That key you got won't fit that lock no more 
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 
That key you got won't let you in my door 
That key you got won't let you in my door 

My eyes have seen the glory and 
The sound and image synchronize 
Right there on the silver screen 
Heard the sound 
Suggesting 
Lineage of influence 
Yeah I saw it there 
In the motherland 
Steps and gables, steeples, stairways 
Wind away from origin 
In a trampled, finished, frosted roof 
I cannot be free 
The concert stage 
The velvet cage 
The glass perimeter of me 
All my friends are disappearing 
All my letters are in codes 
All I ever think and feel 
In your shadow 
Pity roads 
Waiting, waiting by the silent phone 
I draft my next apology 
Burn my letters once they're read 
An ally, joy 
I press repeat 
An ally, joy 
An ally, joy 
Listen to what I just heard 
It's rated on the sun tail bird? 
And just like you 
The way it moves 
A thought that creeps in, grinning, always 
In your hair and in your hallways 
Got detained in San Francisco 
On your way to get fresh air 
The USA didn't want you there 
Juggled oranges, but no one cared 

You been ducking, dodging, but you can't come home no more 
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 
That key you got don't fit that lock no more 
That key you got won't fit that lock no more 

GUITAR SOLO 

You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 
That key you got won't fit that lock no more 
That key you got won't fit that lock no more 

You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more 
You been ducking, dodging, but you can't come home no more 
That key you got won't let me in that door 
That key you got won't fit that lock no more 

Lady Macbeth, rock me mama 
Like my back ain't got no bone 
Like clicks heard on the telephone 
Like a sudden, unhinged moan 
That leaks out from your broken structure 
Like a wall of unbound stone 
They buried the eighth 
They buried the ninth 
They said the finale was a formal reply 
They buried the eighth 
They buried the ninth 
They said the finale was a formal reply 
They buried the eighth 
They buried the ninth 
They buried everything yeah I'm telling you guy 
Contests' prizes, grand pianos 
Gagged by comfort 
Shamed by work 
Empty anthems 
Cloaked in strange 
For stripes and bars 
Is it yours 
Stripes and bars 
Stripes and bars 
Stripes and bars and are you sure 
Stripes and bars will lock you in 
Lock you in or camouflage you 
Feel the sign but cannot walk to 
Hear the oath but cannot talk to 
Dribblin, broken, what you swallow 
With stripes and bars 
That's what they're for 
You been ducking and dodging but you can't come home no more
