Six PILLS Rosendale
Capo 3
Em
In the woods I met a man
Bm D
Old as oak and staff in hand
Em A
Sunken eyes but gentle smile
Bm D
We sat down and talked awhile
Em C
And he said I can see it in your eyes
D
You've been hurt a couple times
Am
I've got the perfect antidote
B
To cure a heart of stone
Em C
Tiny red pills in a big blue bottle
D
He put them right in my hands
Em C
Said this stuff can do wonders take you to nirvana
D
Make you a better man
Em
I should've known something was amiss
C D Bm
When I saw his smile turn to a grin
C
But, Then as he left me
Am
There so perplexed
B
He turned and said
Em
One to numb the hurt
C
Two to ease the pain
D
Three to clear your mind
Bm
Forget all the hate
C
Take as I advised
Am
Not more than prescribed
B
Several weeks ahead
B
You'll be fine again

So I went home
C
My heart confused
Bm
Didn't know just what to do
Em
I popped the cap
C
And took a dose
D Bm
After all what could I lose
Em C
And then I touched the clouds and bathed in sky
D Bm
A magic broom a carpet ride
C Am
Before I fell and woke in bed
B
Tried to repeat the words he said
Em
One to numb the hurt
C
Two to ease the pain
D
Three to clear my mind
Bm
Forget all my hate
C
What did he say next
Am
I forget the rest

Just to calm my nerves

Several weeks ahead
B
I'll be fine again

Em C
Tiny red pills in a big blue bottle
D
Wish I had the strength back then
Em C
Need to get a refill chase away the evil
D D
All the whispers in my head
Em C
But I can't find the man I knocked on his door

His neighbors say no one lived there before

Just blur in a haze
