Ashes Of American Flags

Standard Tuning EADGBe Intro: verse 1: The cash machine is blue and green For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee I could spend three dollars and sixty-three cents On Diet Coca-Cola and unlit cigarettes verse 2: I wonder why we listen to poets, when nobody gives a fuck How hot and sorrowful, this machine begs for luck All my lies are always wishes I know I would die if I could come back new verse 3: I want a good life, with a nose for things A fresh wind and bright sky, to enjoy my suffering A hole without a key, if I break my tongue Speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come? All my lies are always wishes I know I would die if I could come back new verse 4: I'm down on my hands and knees, Every time the doorbell rings I shake like a toothache, When I hear myself sing All my lies are always wishes I know I would die if I could come back new Verse 5: I would like to salute, the ashes of American flags And all the fallen leaves, filling up shopping bags (end)
