Tonart: A minor•
Verse 1
Am
Dm
Am
It was in the town of Tuc
F
G
Am
son in Nineteen Eighty- Three
A man named Edward Abbey
G
Am
come a walking up to me
He pulled his cigar from his mouth,
G
Am
said, "I smell lawyers here"
F
The politician, running- dogs,
Gm
G
Am
they crawled away in fear
Verse 2
F
Ed walked across the desert
Verse 3
Gm
G
Am
at least a thousand times
He spoke with javelin
G
Am
a, slept 'neath piñon pine
And if he saw a billboard there, he'd
G
Am
chop that bastard down
F
Said, if a man can't piss in his own front yard,
Gm
G
Am
he'd never keep close to town
Verse 4
F
C
Em
Lord, I wish Edward Abbey were
E
Em
Am
walking round today
Verse 5
F
Ed had a taste for women,
G
Am
in fact he married quite a few
He said, "I'd fall in love, boys,
G
Am
but I'm only passing through
You know I like 'em all, boys,
G
Am
and some more than the rest
F
I've tried my hand at monogamy,
G
Am
now I'm off to save the west
Verse 6
Verse 7
Am
F
Ed died one day at sundown in his
G
Am
Tucson riding shack
They wrapped him in a sleeping bag and
G
Am
drove him way out back
Beneath the wild saguaro,
the coyotes chewed his bones
F
And on a hidden marker,
G
Am
was 'No Comment', carved in stone
Verse 8
F
C
Em
Yeah, I wish Edward Ab bey were
E
Em
walking round today
Am
Verse 9
F
Now I'm living in the desert,
G
Am
but the town is a- closing in
Those cracker box developments,
G
Am
Ed would call a sin
We stole this land from the Mexican and
G
Am
now we'll sell it back
F
And they'll live like mortgage prisoners
G
Am
in those goddamn housing tracts
Verse 10
Tell me, who votes for the mountain lion,
F
G
Am
tell me, who votes for the fox
Who votes for the spotted owl who
G
Am
hides there in the rocks
I wish that Ed would come again with
G
Am
a chainsaw in his hand
F
And carve all up those housing tracts
G
Am
and take on back the land
Verse 11
F
C
Em
Yeah, I wish Edward Abbey were
