Who will dust today's belongings? Who will sweep the floors, hedging near the givens? Rally round your leaders it's the mediator season Diane is on the beach, do you realize the life she's led? The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, The consul a horse, oh man I think we're lost The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, A matter of course, Jefferson, Jeffer Lighted in the amber yard, a green shellback, green shellback Sky-lied, sty-tied, Nero pie-tied, in tree tar-black brer sap, Reason has harnessed the tame, a lodging, not stockader's game Another Greenville, another Magic Mart, Jeffer, grab your fiddle, The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost The biggest wagon is the empty wagon is the noisiest, The consul a horse, Jefferson I think we're lost ---- LittLe america tabbed by chris Lawrence (mustang@isLandnet.com) I mainly wanted to improve the main riff here. the chorus kinda stumps me.. i think the one gtr is playing just power chords on the bottom two strings, and another is doing some mid-range stuff. who knows...
