Standard tuning.

Now not everything is lined up, but you as a muscian should be able to deal with that

shortcomings with that said...Embellishments on everything. Corrections are welcome.

Intro  (still haven’t figured it out completely
 Variations on C/G D7/F#  few times
               Fm9   Em9  C/G  D7/F# C/G  G


C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
I was born in the Summer of Sam --
C/G             D7/F#                      G
Smaller and sooner than planned --
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
In the spitting image of a man
C/G             D7/F#                      G
Raised by wolves on the fat of the land.
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
Clear of romance, beauty, and damned
C/G             D7/F#                      G
Tomorrow will come if she can.


C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
Just want a woman who can walk on a wire
C/G             D7/F#                      G
With a trembling glass in her hand.

D7/F#             C/G                   G
Over the hilltops the fire engine rolls,
D7/F#              C/G                  D7/F#
Down the valley deeper still it goes;

C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
Got my weapons out, I'm laying low
C/G             D7/F#                      G
On this end of the telescope.

C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
Alone, you ramble the whole of the world
C/G             D7/F#                      G
Through black-water jungles for bliss.
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
It's feast or famine, you eat what you kill
C/G             D7/F#                      G
There's no need to bring God into this.
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
My heart is heavy and pressed to the bone,
C/G             D7/F#                      G
Some people too heavy to hold.
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
Salutations, take me as I am --
C/G             D7/F#                      G
You can have me, or leave me alone.
D7/F#              C/G                  G
Sun-kissed lemons in the graveyard below
D7/F#              C/G                  D7/F#
Here in death you see new adventures grow.
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
I see you at last but mostly ghost,
C/G             D7/F#                      G
On this end of the telescope.


solo

C/G with embellishments  (D7/F#) G

bridge

Em                       G
This will not be easy
Am/F#
Word's out the doctor is not coming in
Em                                     G (embellishments)
This genie is too angry to go back
                  D7/F# (without seventh)
Into the bottle again.

then another solo which I don't have the talents to tab

C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
Closer than ever, and covered in birds
C/G             D7/F#                      G
A bone-colored moon fills the west.
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
Now, throats will be slashed, and flags will unfurl
C/G             D7/F#                      G
As time will divide us in gangs.
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
Now, years of progress digging the sand
C/G             D7/F#                      G
Companions we made didn't last.
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
Now, lousy lovers do well with their hands
C/G             D7/F#                      G
But I'll reach you like nobody can.
D7/F#              C/G                  G
Now, slow and easy, you let your paddle go
D7/F#              C/G                  D7/F#
Down a the bottom there is more hell to row.
C/G    D7/F#        G      D7/F#         C/G
I see clear at last: I love, I loathe,
C/G             D7/F#                      G
On this end of the telescope.
