     E
Here we are now where are we?
It's like nothing I've ever seen

  E
We got horse throated huckster's whispered gimmicks
Rubbernecking all the curious cynics
And headlong walkers, one born every minute

B
Do I plug it in or do I stick it in it?

 D                       E
Well, I don't know what came over me
 D                    E
I'm too dumb for words
  D                                E
Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all
   D                                 E
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

     E
Here we are now who are you?

The long lost gueens of some hoodoo?

  E
Well, we're the last of the big time penetrators

Playing dead to fuck the undertaker

The movie'll come out a little bit later

The Men, The Legend, The Goat, The Saytr

     D                          E
Well, I don't know what came over me
     D              E
I'm too dumb for words
    D                          E
Well, I didn't say I'd like it here at all
   D                              E
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

[no chords] play solo riff
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge

E
Here we are now don't ask how
The time to leave was kind of now

   E
Well, don't cry, baby, there's no cause for grief
Deadheading's never going to kill the chief
It's an empty road without relief
And I'm a highway romance milking thief

 D                               E
Well, I don't know what came over me
 D                   E
I'm too dumb for words
    D                                    E
Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all
       D                          E
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

 D                    E
I'm too dumb for words
   D                                   E
Well, I didn't think I'd like it here at all
   D                            E
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

[same solo riffs, anyone
wanna give it a shot?]
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
I'm on the verge
