Held Up


Unreleased State Radio Song. VERSE Em G Am Bought the old farmland for a song Am C Dm Sold it for many reasons Too many of them wrong G C Horseshoe bets and the women that came along Am Em Am Blind-drunk on their demon rum VERSE Is knowledge a product of his loneliness A mad cousin to his holiness Maniacs in cages And patriots and sages A cruel old/on telling of the books REFRAIN C E Am But I'll not give G Am E Myself, to the ground C E Am G I kill more than I Am E G Live so slowly Am E G Live so slowly BRIDGE Em G Am C Em C Am Em Am VERSE Say one thing and then do another Bunker down in your alsatian den We 'aint got room for your politics here Politicians make a bad name for the con-man VERSE And water felt like burning metal Set off by a dying sun Them women they circle Like covered wagons crying Their loved ones back from where they, gone REFRAIN And I'll not give Myself to the ground I kill more than I Live so slowly Live so slowly
