[Verse]

Em
Seen rose gold haze 

at the end of the day

Em
Ragged-winged hawk 

swooping down on prey

Em
Curtain going up on the 

night time shadow play

Em
Seen sun going down 

set the sea on fire

Em
Black smoke boiling 

from burning tires

Em
And bones in the mud, 

was the blood sacrifice required?
 
[Chorus]

G                   Em
Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen
          G              
In the depth of the world 
         Em
and the heart of a dream

G                   Em
Ooh-wee, all the places I've been
  G                      
Each one reflected in the 
  Em               Bm
states I'm in, uh huh

           Em
States I'm in
 
[Verse]

Em
One day fit and one day fat
Em
One day flush and 

one day flat

Em
Reality distorted 

like I sat on hat

Em
One day I feel like 

I'm in control

Em
Next I'm suspended 

in a bottomless hole

Em
A drunk trying to 

shinny up a greased pole
 
[Chorus]

G                   Em
Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen
          G              
In the depth of the world 
         Em
and the heart of a dream

G                
Ooh-wee, all the 
 Em
places I've been

  G                      
Each one reflected in the 
 Em                Bm
states I'm in, uh huh
           Em
States I'm in
 
[Verse]

Em
I'm slick as a dealer 

in a green eye shade

Em
Aces up his sleeve and 

he's not afraid

Em
The mayor and his uniformed 

monkeys have been well paid

Em
Climbing up the ivy 

to the balcony above

Em
Where pines the heart 

of my one true love
Em
Obsession, delusion, all that 

waits is the fateful shove
 
[Chorus]

G                   Em
Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen
          G              
In the depth of the world  
         Em
and the heart of a dream

G                   Em
Ooh-wee, all the places I've been
  G                      
Each one reflected in the 
Em                 Bm
states I'm in, uh huh

           Em
States I'm in
 
[Solo]

Em
 
[Verse]

Em
Crows in the treetops 

motors in the road

Em
Structures of darkness 

that the dawn corrodes

Em
Into the title montage 

of a new episode

Em
Whisper wells up 

from the deeps untrod

Em
Overflows the channel 

and spreads abroad

Em
Gathers in power 

like a lightning rod
 
[Chorus]

G                   Em
Ooh-wee, all the sights I've seen
          G              
In the depth of the world 
         Em
and the heart of a dream

Ooh-wee, all the places I've been

G                   Em

         Em
and the heart of a dream

G                   Em
Ooh-wee, all the places I've been
