Ladder Song

	  		
Bm                     F#7 
No one knows where the ladder goes 
Bm                            F#7 
You're going to lose what you love the most 
Em                  G 
You're not alone in anything 
Em                   G 
You're not unique in dying 
Bm                     F#7 
I feel estranged every now and then 
Bm                  F#7 
Fall asleep reading science fiction 
Em                    G 
I want to fly in your silver ship 
Em                 G      A 
Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit 

D 
It's on now 
             F#m 
The days are long now 
                G 
The ups and the sundowns 
               A 
And a twisting mind 
               D 
If I've got to go first 
              F#m 
I'll do it on my terms 
             G                        A 
I'm tired of traitors always changing sides 
          D       A  G 
They were friends of mine 

Bm                       F#7 
Don't hang around as the promise breaks 
Bm                       F#7 
You'll be there when the next one's made 
Em                 G 
Kiss the feet of a charlatan 
Em             G 
Some imagined freedom 
Bm              F#7 
All the rest is predictable 
Bm                     F#7 
You can say you're the first to know 
Em                 G 
Bought a mantra to concentrate 
Em           G       A 
Car alarm or hissing snake 

D 
I know now 
                  F#m 
How it's going to turn now 
           G 
You got to calm down 
                A 
Or I'll lose my place 
                  D 
Got to get to the center 
                  F#m 
Got to get to the concert 
               G 
Run off with a dancer 
             A 
Going to celebrate 

Em                A 
We'll welcome the new age 
D          G  G/F# Em 
Covered in warrior paint 
                A             D 
Lights from the jungle to the sky 
Em         A 
See now, a star's born 
D                 G    G/F# Em  
Looks just like a blood orange 
              A                D 
Don't it just make you want to cry 
          D     A  G 
Precious friend of mine? 

Bm                     F#7 
Well, I know when it's finally done 
Bm                     F#7 
This whole life's a hallucination 
Em                  G 
You're not alone in anything 
Em                  G 
You're not alone in trying  
B 
To be
