I'm not even sure if there is a studio version of this song (yet). I'm going by
the way Roger played it on a bootlegged concert I heard a while ago. It's in
standard tuning with no capo.

Yeah I am a kaleidoscope in a "paint by numbers" world

My only light of hope is my Tristan girl
My sister lord she loves me, she knows I ain't no use

Hell she's crazy as Johnny Knoxville and got more cats than Dr. Seuss

We are one big ass happy family

Under one big ass family tree

We are one big ass happy family

And life is one big ass family jubilee

There's a faith beyond religion, a color deeper than your skin
D G
Hallelujah brothers 'n sisters, everybody just come on in
God reveals himself to me in the blood of Jesus Christ

He's almighty and may reveal himself in other ways in other eyes
