How the West was won and where it got Us

Piano riff: E|-14-14-14-14-15-14-14-14-14-12 B|-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12 G|-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12 Verse riff: --4-2-4...--4h7p4-4-2-24--------- --------------------------0-02-- --------------------------------- {Verse riff} Blood from a stone Water from wine. Born under earplay design. A stroke of bad luck, wrong place, wrong time. This flyer is out of the lime. The story is a sad one, told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water, stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us. {Verse riff} Canary got trapped, the uranium mine. A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died. a marker to mark where my tears run dry. I cross it, bless it, alkali. The story is a sad one, told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water, stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us. {Piano solo} {Verse riff} I didn't wear glasses cause I thought it might rain. Now I can't see anything. I made a mistake, chalked it up to design. I cracked through time, space, Godless and dry. I point my nose to the northern star, watch the decline from a hazy distance. The story is a sad one, told many times. The story of my life in trying times. Just add water, stir in lime. How the west was won and where it got us.
