[Verse 1]
       G           D
It was changing so fast
  Em            C/G
I barely kept up with it
G             D      C/G
Calling on my spirit guides
      G     D
I was up in Sitka
Em           C/G
  South-east Alaska
G          D
 Forgot to ask her

If I'd survive the next chapter
G                    D
Portland to 'Frisco  city of angels
Em                    C/G
Above the prophecies  up upon the table
G             D
Tangled in my spirit teacher's angles
Em *
  Middle finger to the Star-Spangled
      G        D
And I know I'm ready
Em           C/G
Big message  heavy
G               D
 Gotta learn to carry
     Em *
What comes to me directly  said

 Help me remember
Em          C/G
  How to surrender
G          D
