Quicksand

``Quicksand'' by Dinosaur Jr.

Yeah, the words were a pain. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me

out there to revise this.

Anyway, very simple song. The intro chords are Em and C.

G Gsus4 G Gsus4 (repeat)

I'm closer to the golden dawn, I can't believe the wagon's gone,

It's history...

(C, G, Gsus4 through all of the verses)

I'm frightened by the total goal,

I'm drawing to the ragged hole(?)

And I ain't got the wagon anymore,

No I ain't got the wagon anymore...

C G Gsus4 (through the verse)

I'm the twisted name...

Should I leave the engine on,

To listen to that mountain song,

I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought...

And I ain't got the wagon anymore...

Don't believe in yourself

Don't deceive with believe

The knowledge comes with deperate ease(?)

Ahh oh....

C G Gsus4 (through the verse)

Not too stable hangin' by a string...

If I don't explain what you oughta know

You can tell me all about it at the next ball show

I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought

And I ain't got the power anymore...

G D Em (same as before)

Don't believe in yourself...
