Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home

Verse 2

To keep in silence I resigned

My friends would think I was a nut

Turning water into wine

Open doors would soon be shut

So I went from day to day

Though my life was in a rut

Till I thought of what I'd say

And which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery

I walked right out of the machinery

My heart going boom boom boom

Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home

yeaah, back home

Verse 3

When illusion spin her net

I'm never where I want to be

And liberty she pirouette

When I think that I am free

Watched by empty silhouettes

Who close their eyes but still can see

No one taught them etiquette

So I will show another me

Today I don't need a replacement

I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant

My heart going boom boom boom

Hey, I said, you can keep my things they've come to take me home

Finish off song with some heavy power chords on xx42x (high to low) with

good distorsion

"Let freedom ring"

"Oh Rock of ages do not crumble love is breathing still"

"Oh Lady Moonshine down, a little people magic if you will"

This tab was created with the help of an Amiga computer and the sampling

software Audiomaster IV, under the menu effects/duration/pitch the

frequency and the pitch can be doubled, thus enabling the program to play

back the sample at half the speed but with the original pitch.
