TRANSCONTINENTAL
By PEDRO THE LION
Off the new album ACHILLES HEEL
C Am7 Em F Fm C
Engine severs lower legs, I feel my bruised heart beating - Spinal cord
Am7 Em F Fm Am Am/G
remains in tact, still sending and receiving - Laying back on shoulder
F C C/B Am Am/G F
blades, cargo rushing past - Missing limbs beneath the cars, twitching on
G C/E F D/F# G G/G# Am F
the tracks - Clic clack, now handicapped, north am transcontinental -
C Am Em F G G/G# Bb
C Am Em F Fm C
I remember as I bleed, certain tales of bravery - A man who's legs were
Am Em F Fm Am Am/G F
trapped beneath, a fallen evergreen tree - He decided he would chop them
C C/B Am Am/G F
off above the knee - To sacrifice his shins and feet, and set his torso
G Dm Am F Em E/G# Dm
free - The luxury of having been spared the hard part - You'd think would
Am F G C/E F D/F# G G/G#
be enough for me to pull this off - But I'm left to bleed to death - Now
Am G F C Dm G G# Bb C
all the man I've ever been - North am transcontinental.
THAT'S ALL FOLKS
