[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/jayhawks/9130.html ]
And if thou shalt give
Thou shalt be deceived
This traveling band was not well received
No open arms or reception lines
Just handlebars wearing five point stars
Em B
Am I living in your dream
G Asus2 B
We got the guns, we got the guns
G Asus2 B
A thousand to one, a thousand to one
E5 D
He's the man, he's the man
C5
He's the man who loved life
F
Served by different stories
C
Am I living in your dreams
F
Pretty metal green
C Em
Can I ride upon your wings so free
In the canyon walls there's a trusty lot
The stakes were high
The sun was hot
You can rest assured as casinos rise
Buzz around my ears like the dragonflies
Am I living in your dream
We've got the guns, we've got the guns
A thousand to one, a thousand to one
He's the man, he's the man
He's the man who loved life
Served from different shores
Am I living in your dream
Pretty metal green
Am I living in your dream, so real
Heard a million stories
Am I living in your dream
Pretty metal green
Am I living in your dream
Outro on F/C progression, end on Em
