E                   D               A 
the day I turned my back on all you people 
E         D             A 
I felt an itching in my thumbs. 
C#m             E7                 F#m           B7 
salt air like a broadcast from the distant, dark beyond 
A       D              A (A#maj7/A) A 
when my transformation comes. 
I went down to the warm, warm water 
saw a pelican fly past 
waved once at the highway and then left all that behind me 
I went wading through the grass. 
Bm             A#maj7         Amaj7 
and no one was gonna come and get me. 
Bm             A#maj7      Amaj7 
there wasn't anybody gonna know. 
F#m           D                C#7                F#m 
even though I leave a trail of burnt things in my wake 
A         D             A  (A#maj7/A) A 
every single place I go. 
and it was cool, and it was quiet 
in the humid marsh down there. 
i let my head sink down beneath the brackish water, 
felt it gumming up my hair. 
the sun was sinking into the atlantic 
the last time that I turned my back on you. 
I tried to summon up a little prayer as I went under 
it was the best that I could do. 
and I said, 
"let them all fare better than your servant", 
the reeds all pricking at my skin.
