G c

She reads the leaves and she leads the life

G d

That she learned so well from the old wives

Em d c d

It's so strange to arrange it, you know i wouldn't change it

Em d c d

But hear me if you're near me, can i just rearrange it?

G7

The watchman covers me

G7

With his remedy

G7

I can't see and it's hard to feel

D c d g

I think his magic might be real



I can't get to you from your garden gate

You know it's always locked by the magistrate

Now he don't care why you cry, he thinks it's just a lie

To get out, i don't doubt that you'd make a try

If the good times get you through

I know the dogs won't bother you

We'll be gone in moonshine time

I've got a place they'll never find



You know i do believe in your hexagram

But can you tell me how they all knew the plan?

Did you trip or slip on their gifts, you know you were just a con?

You knew it, why d'you do it, i've been hiding in the dark

Now i must be on my way

I guess you really have to stay

Inside the mission law

Down in modock, arkansas
