[Verse 1]
      F       C                  F
These days of canvassing the ground
       F               C         F
It's a careful step or two into town
        Bb           F
Tracing one of every sign
    Am                   Bb   F
Six million cracks don't lie

[Verse 2]
        F            C           F
There's ice upon the veil this year
     F                  C            F
It's hard to keep one's frozen head clear
         Bb          F
Read the color on my cheeks
   Am            Bb
Or dripping nose tv's
      Bb      F Bb F
Gonna find out

[Verse 3]
          F             C        F
There's a wave upon the Corney shore
     F              C            F
That drowns the old fat lady's roar
          Bb              F
There's a locket full of sand
      Am          Bb
And a tarot in my hand
      Bb       F
Gonna find out

[Verse 3]
      F           C          F
These days I look up now and then
    F             C          F
The slope seems a familiar friend
         Bb                 F
When its lines have left my palm
   Am               Bb
In queerness and in calm
      Bb      F
Gonna find out
      Bb       F
Gonna find out
