BECOMING A JACKAL           VILLAGERS

Dadd9 = xx0230

Am     Am7/G    Dadd9
  The most familiar rose 
 B7                    Em          Em7
Every implement was leading to you 
           C       C/B          G
And your homely sense of dissaray 
                Dm
Never once the same 
C     C/B    Am
Always rearranged 
     Am7/G          Dadd9
But things would never change 
       B7                 Em        Em7
In the seam between the window frame 
            C         C/B           G
Where the jackals preyed on every soul 
                          Dm
Where they tied you to a pole 
C      C/B                  G
And stripped you of your clothes 

Chorus:

(G)        C    Bm    ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   I was a dreamer 
Em              Am    Bm   ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   Staring out windows 
G               C       Bm   ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   Out onto the main street 
Em                       Am        Bm
   Cause that's where the dream goes 

( Bass notes C-B on 5th string (A) )
               

           Am      Am7/G          Dadd9
And each time they found fresh meat to chew 
B7                       Em          Em7
I would turn away and return to you 
            C       C/B          G
You would offer me your unmade bed 
                  Dm    C
Feed me till I'm fed   
        C/B           Am
And read me till I'm read
     Am7/G      Dadd9 
But when the morning came 
B7                           Em      Em7
You would catch me at the window again 
        C         C/B            G              
In an eyes wide open sleeping state            
               Dm   (N.C.)  C      
Staring into space                             
         C/B           G                       
With no look upon my face                      
                                               

Chorus:

(G)        C    Bm   ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   I was a dreamer 
Em              Am    Bm  ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   Staring out windows 
G               C       Bm  ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   Out onto the main street 
Em                       Am        Bm
   Cause that's where the dream goes 

Bridge:

C                C/B      
And when I got older
Am             Am7/G 
When I grew bolder
F                       G7                
Out onto the streets I flew           
Am                    C/B              
Released from your shackles           
C                    C/D  C        
I danced with the Jackals             
F                        G7           
And learned a new way to move

         Am    Am7/G      Dadd9 
So before you take this song as truth 
B7                             Em       Em7
You should wonder what I'm taking from you 
        C                     G
How I benefit from you being here 
                 Dm   C                     
Lending me your ears 
           C/B             G
While I'm selling you my fears 

(G)        C    Bm     ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   I was a dreamer     (I'm selling you my fears) 
Em               Am    Bm ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   Staring out windows   (I'm selling you my fears) 
G                C       Bm   ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   Out onto the main street   (I'm selling you my fears) 
Em                        Am        Bm
   Cause that's where the dream goes    (I'm selling you...) 

G        C    Bm   ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   I was a dreamer 
Em              Am    Bm   ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   Staring out windows 
G               C       Bm   ( Bass notes F#-G on base E string )
   Out onto the main street 
Em                       Am        Bm
   Cause that's where the dream goes
