Intro: F

C
The city children, they know how to breed
They've touched some love, but they believe in need

The progress mongers, the southpaws of smoke
Full-formed veneers for us average folks

I said to myself, I said, "I... I jerk those tears I don’t cry."
C
And after us, the engines will search
For fashion youth, the signs and wonders in shirts

(This part is mostly drums, so I like to just do one stab at the beginning of each line
and maybe do a light tapping on the guitar so that it's not completely a capella. I'll
provide the I do the stabs of.)

C
I stole these rhythms from the man who had them, and uh
F
He wiped his chin down with Uncle Tom's napkin, and uh
C
He said you choose this day whom you will serve, and uh
F
Take bits of grace, not just the things you will deserve, and uh
Am
"Well, Jesus Christ," I said "you're changing your mind.
