[Verse 1]
G            D          C
  Just like birds of a feather
G                                 Em
  We too have followed the golden sun
G             D
  It feels so good,
F              C          G
  Knowin' the watchman's gone

[Verse 2]
G       D          C
  If I give you a rose, buddy
G                                  Em
  Would you please bury it in the fields?
G           D
  I seen a rose
F               C        G
   Watchin' it all fold out

[Verse 3]
G            D                 C
  There's a train down at the station
G                               Em
  It's come to carry my bones away
G              D
  Two engines on
F             C       G
  Twenty-one coaches long
       D
End to end
F             C       G
  Twenty-one coaches bend
G                D
  The watchman's out
F               C    G
  Kickin' the bums about

[Verse 4]
G       D                  C
  If I wait for the right moment
G                                 Em
  You can bet I'll climb aboard unseen
G                 D
  I've done it before
F              C            G
  I know I can do it in my sleep

[Chorus]
G                D
  The watchman's out
F             C      G
  Kickin' the bums about
G                D
  The watchman's out
F               C       G
  Kickin' your dreams about

[Verse 5]
G    D                   C
  As I leave you in the sunset
G                                  Em
  Got one more nothin' I'd like to say
G                 D
  "You don't know me
F               C      G
  A son of the sea am I"

[Verse 6]
G       D              C
  As I say to you, my brother
G                                  Em
  If you live to follow the golden sun
G               D
  You better beware
F              C                 G
  Knowin' the watchman's always there

[Verse 7]
G         D                C
  If you find me feedin' daisies
G                               Em
  Please turn my face up to the sky
G              D
  And leave me be
F               C         G
  Watchin' the moon roll by
            D
Whatever I was
F                  C      G
  You know it was all because
                  D
I've been on the town
F              C        G
  Washin' the bullshit down

[Chorus]
G                 D
  The watchman's out
F              C      G
 Kickin' your dreams about
              D
It feels so good
F              C          G
  Knowin' the watchman's gone
            D
It's like a song
F              C          G
  Knowin' the watchman's gone
