Intro  Ano3

Verse 1
Ano3
Mama died young giving birth to a son in a home for wayward girls

Papa was a sidewalk, soapbox preacher looking forward to the end of the 
world
      Dno3
Every friday night he'd pick Jesus a fight down at the local pool hall
Ano3
Racking up souls, condemning all those caught behind the eightball
         E
He said "I preach the light, the light shows the way, don't ever trust what 
the government say
         Ano3                (mute)
we never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's 
all in your head"


Verse 2
Ano3
Lucy was a messed up, dressed up waitress with a slightly tarnished heart of 
gold

She wasn't half bad for a new step mama, as far as step mama's go
      Dno3
Daddy knew she was the one as he baked in the sun in a parking lot preaching 
the truth

Up shot her hand and she cried, oh man "I feel it, yes, I feel it, I do"
      E
It's been revealed to me down deep in my soul there were two shooters on the 
grassy knoll
         Ano3                (mute)
We never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's 
all in your head

Let us sing...


Chorus
D                A
It's all interpretation
    G                        D               A
to find the truth you gotta read between the lines
      D                A   D
Work out your own salvation
      A              G
that narrow path is hard to define
          D                                    A C D A (after 1st Chorus)
Heaven's more than a place it's a state of mind


Verse 3
Ano3
In his quest for truth, Daddy was moved by the spirit to take up a snake

In a moment of doubt the venom turned out stronger than Daddy's faith
     Dno3
I'll never forget in his dying breath the last words that he said
          Ano3                (mute)
"We never walked on the moon, Elvis ain't dead, you ain't goin' crazy, it's 
all in your head"

Let me tell ya...

Chorus

End
             A C D A (Repeat & Fade)
