[Intro- Repeat three times]

Fsus2 Fsus2 Fsus2 F
Fsus2 Fsus2 F

[Verse 1]

Asus2                          A
I'm Don Juan's reckless daughter
                 Asus2              A
I came out two days on your tail
Gsus2                                          G
Those two bald-headed days in No-vember
                 F
Before the first snowflakes sail
                   G                                Am   Bb
Out on the vast and subtle plains of myste-ry
 C
A split tongue spirit talks
            Gsus2       G
Noble as a nickel chief
                    C
Striking up an old jukebox
                   Fsus2                     F
And he says, "snakes along the railroad tracks"
              Fsus2        F
He says, "eagles in jet trails"
           Fsus2                   F                          C
He says, "coils around feathers and talons on scales"
Fsus2                        F
"Gravel under the belly plates"
             Fsus2             F
He says, "wind in the Wings"
           Fsus4                    F
He says, "big bird dragging its tail in the dust
C                                F
Snake kite flying on a string"

[Verse 2]

Asus2                    A
I come from open prairie
                  Asus2                     A
Given some wisdom and a lot of jive
Gsus4                                G
Last night the ghosts of my old ideas
                F
Reran on Channel Five
            G                                Am     Bb
And it howled so spooky for its eagle soul
     C
I nearly broke down and cried
            Gsus4                                       G
But the split tongue spirit laughed at me
                       C
He says, "your serpent cannot be denied"
Fsus2                                 F
Our serpents love the whisky bars
                        Fsus4         F
They love the romance of the crime
         Fsus2            F
But didn't I see a neon sign
                       C
Fester on your hotel blind?
         Fsus2                       F
And a country road come off the wall
  Fsus2                                               F
And swoop down on the crowd at the bar
   Fsus2                                      F
And put me at the top of your danger list
              C                                         F
Just for being so much like you are

[Verse 3]

                Asus2                             A
You're a coward against the alti-tude
                Asus2                 A
You're a coward against the flesh
Gsus2                                            G
Coward, caught between yes and no
Fsus2                             F
Reckless this time on the line for yes, yes, yes!
G                     Am       Bb
Reckless brazen in the play
              C
Of your changing traffic lights
            Gsus2                      G
Coward, slinking down the hall
                                C
To another restless night
Fsus2                           F
As we center behind the eight ball
          Fsus2                     F
As we rock between the sheets
           Fsus2                              F
As we siphon the colored lan-guage
                                      C
Off the farms and the streets
  Fsus2                                     F
Here in good old "God save America"
   Fsus2                                        F
The home of the brave and the free
           Fsus2                          F
We are all hopelessly oppressed cowards
       C
Of some duality
                                 F
Of restless multi-plicity(Oh, say can you see)

[Verse 4]

Asus2                                     A
Restless for streets and honky-tonks
Asus2                                A
Restless for home and rou-tine
Gsus4                                 G
Restless for country safety and her
F
Restless for the likes of reckless me
G                           Am            Bb
Restless sweeps like fire and rain
                          C
Over virgin wilderness
Gsus2               G
It prowls like hookers and thieves
                                         C
Through bolt-locked tenements
Fsus2                  F
Behind my bolt locked door
    Fsus2                                         F
The eagle and the serpent are at war in me
     Fsus2                                          F
The serpent fighting for blind de-sire
        C
The eagle for clarity
Fsus2                          F
What strange prizes these battles bring
Fsus2                               F
These hectic joys, these weary blues
Fsus2                                F
Puffed up and strutting when I think I win
               C                                          F
Down and shaken when I think I lose

[Verse 5]

                 Asus2                           A
There are rivets up here in this ea-gle
                Asus2                         A
There are box cars down there on your snake
               Gsus2              G
And we are twins of spirit
                                     F
No matter which route home we take -Or what we forsake
                                    G                    Am     Bb
We're going to come up to the eyes of clari- ty
                     C
And we'll go down to the beads of guile
             Gsus2                        G
There is danger and educa- tion
                          C
In living out such a reckless life style
Fsus2                               F
I touched you on the central plains
           Fsus2                     F
It was plane to train my twin
          Fsus2                     F
It was just plane shadow to train shadow
                           C
But to me it was skin to skin

[Coda]

Fsus2                       F
The spirit talks in spectrums
Fsus2                             F
He talks to mother earth to father sky
Fsus2                 F
Self indulgence to self denial
C                                     F
Man to woman, Scales to feathers
F                            C
You and I Eagles in the sky You and I
F
Snakes in the grass- You and I
C
Crawl and fly- You and I
F                                         C
Oh, you and I, you and I, you and I
          C                         F C
By the dawn's early light
F
You and I, you and I
F
You and I, you and I
                C
Oh, you and I
