D D/F# G D
No time frame for what I need to do today
D/F# G D
here at the yellowhouse I think that I'm gonna play with
D/F# G F
some free living lads down the street... away... away
(NOTE: I THINK this next part can be played in the open D position with
just a few modifications but I'm not good enough to move around in such
a small space trying to create all the sounds. If you can do it, tab
it out and send it up. It'd be nice to see a different way of doing this
part of the song.. since I swear I can hear the D and F# notes of the
open D chord being played all the while the chord progression is changing.
This could just be the fact that a bunch of guitars are together though.)

As I feel the moon rise the time that I feel is the right time
D/F# G D
here in our sleepyhouse as I wipe eye bugs away
D/F# G F
the candle flickers at me and says and in my head I sometimes pray
D5 E5 D5 E5 F#5 E5 D5 C5 A5 C5 D5
are you feeling fine? as I was as a little child
D5 E5 D5 E5 F#5 E5 D5 C5 A5 C5 D5
and I'm feeling better when I'm high yeah as shining on a little unity.

The mistakes that I've made no they don't seem to bother me
D D/F# G
and I sure as hell don't feel like I've missed any kind of train
D D/F# G
if I could only show you how I feel you wouldn't bother me
F D
maybe you would see why we don't mind being blind
