Mystic Lyrics

From his From the Top of Willamette Mountain album.
You can play it in standard tuning with the chords, but the ringing D bass note is
quite prominent on the recording. Avoid playing the high e string.
D: 000230
G: 5X0030

There is a mystic in the mountain, high above the great salt lake
Dancing in the heavens, far below his golden gates
He's looking at our cars below, laughing at our rock and roll
So I found a little woman, thought that I could change her name
She had the colour of the city and the fire of the country flame
So I hid my body down below, hoping that my skin wont show
Mystic from the mountain, in the end what did you say wed find
A promise from a pamphlet, a crucifixion on your highway sign
But I sold you for a cigarette, does it make you want to love me less
And if I dont believe. What does that mean?
And when I die alone, who will eat my soul
In the cave of God, while the angels watch
Theres a manic scream, hallelujah
Babe I know I lost you, moment you could finally see
The part of me Id hidden, far below our leather seats
If I could make you understand the empty that I tried fill
Id crucify my body, leave the pieces at your mystics heels
But I sold you for a cigarette
I hope youd sell me off for less
And if we dont agree
What does that leave
And when you die alone
I will eat your soul
In the cave of God
While the angels watch
Theres a manic scream hallelujah
