Cigarette
intro:
rattle around on the low E-string for a bit then
Emaj7
Emaj7
In a black and far off corner of my mind
Emaj7
There's a box of something I can't quite define
D A Emaj7
It houses circus freaks, temptation, and bad trips
Emaj7
In an isolated corner of the box
Emaj7
There's a trap door covered up with dirt and rocks
D A Emaj7
It opens to the stairs that lead down to the crypt
A C D G G/F# E/G
Do you know where you're going when you've taken your last step
A C D
Do you know what you get?

Emaj7
On a dark and lonely road in my hometown
Emaj7
Stands a house that long ago should've been torn down
D A Emaj7
It reeks of love gone sour, suspicion and bad debt
Emaj7
On a weather beaten transom in the house
Emaj7
Walks a friend of mine that I call the old king mouse
D A Emaj
He dances in the moonlight and sleepin out on the steps
A C D G G/F# E
Do you know where you're going when you've taken your last breath?
A C D
Do you know what you get?
