The New Transcription is out. If I had to do it again I would’ve played less notes.

Open E, capo 4.
E(iv) 054000
B(ii) 042000
F#m7 xx2120
E 000000
E -> E (iv) -> E -> E(iv) -> etc
Somewhere a maraca plays
Somewhere near a renegade
Burning up dollars his husband made
Collecting the smoke in jars
B (ii) -> E (iv)
looking older than he should
signing postcards like he would
E -> E (iv)…
Somewhere Amiri Baraka sighs
And haunts his neighbors lullabies
He catches thousands of butterflies
And locks them inside of his house
B (ii) -> E (iv)
and takes away all their disgust
and leaves them with dust
E -> E (iv)…
Somewhere silent raindrops fall
Somewhere at the edge of a war
B (ii) -> E (iv)
The butcher is cleaning his blade
Getting ready for the child’s parade
But the goal keeper gets out unscathed
F#m7
With all of his knowledge
E -> E (iv)…
Somewhere on Carnaby street
You took on a pair of jeans
Ripped out the labels, took out the seams
Seems everything you make is holy
B (ii) -> E (iv)
and I took out a year
whispered in a passing ear
you’re no longer welcome here
F#m7
get off of my cloud
E -> E (iv)…
I never learned to behave
I never learned your last name
I didn’t care to know it
It was none of my business
B (ii) -> E (iv)
I suggest we get moving on
Take the train with the purple sun
And the violent girls, you know the ones
F#m7
That bleed you with flowers?
E -> E (iv)…
Froggie went a hunting and he did ride
Took a bottle of gatorade by his side
Poured it on an alligator’s eye
To influence his disposition
B (ii) -> E (iv)
and take away all of his anger
and leave him with out a dagger
but I couldn’t tell you for sure
F#m7
If any of it worked
