Melody on the 5 (D)

High part on F#, low on A

| I looked to the children, I | drank from | the fountain |
| D11 | C |
| There’s more than one answer to these | questions |
| C | G |
| Pointing me in a crooked | line |
Low part on A, high on D
| D11 | C |
| The less I seek my source for some de | finitive |

shoots up to high G, but usually easier to have the high
singer do that.

| I | went to see the | doctor of phil | osophy |
| G | Am7sus4 | Cadd9 | D | |
| With a | poster of Ras | putin and a | beard down to his | knee |
| D11 | C | |
| He | never did marry or | see a B-grade movie |
| D11 | C | |
| He | graded my performance, he | said he could see through me |
| G | Am7sus4 | Cadd9 | D | |
| I spent | four years prostrate | to the higher | mind, got my | paper |

| I | stopped by the | bar at 3 a. | m |
| G | Am7sus4 | Cadd9 | D | |
| To seek | solace in a | bottle or | possibly a | friend |
| D11 | C | |
| I | woke up with a headache like my | head against a board |
| D11 | C |
| Twice as cloudy as I’d been the | night before |
| G | C | G | |
| And I went in seeking | clarity |
