Intro
[G] [C]
Verse 1
[G]I'm gonna clear my head, [C]
[G]I'm gonna drink that sun.
[G]The saddest sight my eyes can see [C] [G]
Is that [D]big ball of orange sinking slyly [C]down the [G]trees.
[G]Sittin' in a broken circle while you rest upon my knee, [C] [G]
This [A]perfect moment will soon be leaving [D]me.
Verse 2
[G]Suzanne calls from Boston, the coffee's hot, the corn is high, [C] [G]
And [D]that same sun that warms your heart will suck the good earth [C]dry. [G]
[G]With everything its opposite enough to keep you crying, [C] [G]
Or [A]keep this old world spinning with a twinkle in its [D]eye.
Chorus
[G]Get out the map,
[C]Get out the map and lay your finger anywhere [G]down.
We'll leave the figuring to those we pass on our way out of [D7]town.
[G]Don't drink the water, there seems to be something ailing [C]everyone. [G]
I'm [C]gonna clear my head,
I'm gonna [Fsus2]drink that sun.
I'm gonna love you good and strong while our love is good and [D7]young. [G]
Verse 3
[G]Joni left for South Africa a few years ago [C] [G]
And [D]then Beth took a job all the way over on the west [C]coast.
[G]And me I'm still trying to live half a life on the road,
It [A]seems I'm heavier by the year
(heavier by the year)
And [D]heavier by the load.
(heavier by the load)
Verse 4
[G]Why do we hurtle ourselves through every inch of time and space? [C] [G]
[D]I must say around some corner I can sense a resting [C]place. [G]
[G]With every lesson learned a line upon your beautiful face, [C] [G]
We'll [A]amuse ourselves one day with these memories we'll [D]trace.
