[Verse 1]
A                               E
Freaks collecting stained ­glass rubies
A                  E
Till a gently on a strand
A                E
Bearing looks of frenzied blankness
A                  E
Slowing down their B.B. King


[Verse 2]
A            E
Middle class suburban children
A                E
Wearing costumes that reveal
A              E
Blindly follow recent pipers
A                   E
With their mystical appeal for now


[Chorus]
D      E
So I'm leavin' for the country
E  D               A
To try and rest my head
A           E
'Cause if I hang around this scene too long
E   D                 E
You know babe I'll be dead

[Verse 3]
A               E
All the changes superficial
A      E
Apathy still a king
A               E
Liberal reactionaries
E     A                  E
Never doing anything for now


[Chorus]
A      E
So I'm leavin' for the country
E  D               A
To try and rest my head
A           E
'Cause if I hang around this scene too long
E   D                 E
You know babe I'll be dead
