From the 2001 Album "Sebastopol." Words and music by Jay Farrar.
I believe this is in 6/8 time. For the intro, pull off the B string with your ring
like on the third strum of each bar of G and Cadd9 like so:
G Cadd9

B|--3-3-3-p0-h3|3-3-3-p0-h3|-3-3-3-p0-h3|-3-3-3-p0-h3|

Intro: G Cadd9 x2
[ G ]Along for the ride or just watching the time
The spirit of the one constant thread
Policing yourself, a lifelong pursuit
Hanging on to the ring of the bell
[ D ]And it's out on the town
The [ Dsus2 ] world spins around
And the [ Cadd9 ]rules we'd rather forget
It's [ D ] not what we're here for
So [ Dsus2 ] dear to die for
[ Cadd9] Believe it's worth saving [ G ] yet
Intro again
[ G ]City sounds, a life of their own
Never found any other way
Not to preach or teach
Not good at either one
There's a space that shines in the sun
[ D ]Then it's out on the town
The [ Dsus2 ] world spins around
In [ Cadd9 ] step with the best intention
It [ D ] is what we're here for
So [ Dsus2 ] dear to die for
[ Cadd9] Count me in your [ G ] direction
Intro again to close
