Low-G Tuning

G            Dm          C6           G   Gmaj7 C6  G Gmaj7 C6 
Really don't mind if you sit this one out. 
  
   G            Dm             C6         G   Gmaj7 C6  G Gmaj7 C6 
My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT. 

  G            Dm         C6             G   Gmaj7 C6  G Gmaj7 C6 
I may make you feel but I can't make you think. 

     G              Dm             C6            G   Gmaj7 C6     G Gmaj7 C6 
Your sperm's in the gutter -- your love's in the sink. 

       C6              Dsus2    G Gsus2 G Gsus2 G Gsus4 G 
So you ride yourselves over the fields 

        C6            Dsus2  G Gsus2 G Gsus2 G Gsus4 G 
and you make all your animal deals 

         C6             Dsus2       G Gsus2 G Gsus2 G Gsus4 G 
and your wise men don't know how it feels 

D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D  Dsus2 D 

      D          G Gmaj7 C6      G Gmaj7 C6      G Gmaj7 C6      G Gmaj7 C6 
to be thick as a brick. 

        G           Dm          C6        G Gmaj7 C6    G Gmaj7 C6 
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away 

       G        Dm 
in the tidal destruction 

    C6      G Gmaj7 C6    G Gmaj7 C6 
the moral melee. 

     G        Dm              C6       G Gmaj7 C6    G Gmaj7 C6 
The elastic retreat rings the close of play 

       G           Dm 
as the last wave uncovers 

    C6         G Gmaj7 C6    G Gmaj7 C6 
the newfangled way. 

         C6            Dsus2       G Gsus2 G Gsus2 G Gsus4 G 
But your new shoes are worn at the heels 

     C6          Dsus2   G Gsus2 G Gsus2 G Gsus4 G 
and your suntan does rapidly peel 

         C6             Dsus2       G Gsus2 G Gsus2 G Gsus4 G 
and your wise men don't know how it feels 

D Dsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D  Dsus2 D 

      D          G Gmaj7 C6    G Gmaj7 C6 
to be thick as a brick.

        G           Dm      F              Am     C 
And the love that I feel        is so far away: 

                       Em         G   B   C 
I'm a bad dream that I just had today -- 

                   D Dsus2 D 
and you shake your head 

    D          G  Gmaj7 C6     G Gmaj7 C6 
and say it's a shame.

Gm7 Gm9 Dm11                 Gm7 Gm9 Dm11 
       Spin me back down the years 

        Gm7 Gm9 Dm11       Gm7 Gm9 Dm11 
and the days         of my youth. 

Gm7 Gm9          Dm11     Gm7   Gm9     Dm11 
        Draw the lace and black curtains 

         Gm7 Gm9 Dm11      Gm7   Gm9    Dm11 
and shut out           the whole truth. 

Gm7 Gm9      Dm11               Gm7 Gm9 Dm11 
    Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song.
