A, D, F, A x2

[Verse 1]
A
The devil's in the detail shop
Waiting on his old rag top
                                      G          D
Wondering where the hell have all the real souls gone
G            D              A
It's been so long since the reaping's worth a damn

A
Little Mary's living hand to mouth
Can't believe how fast it all went south
                               G          D
Taking pains to conceive of an immaculate life
    G     D                   A
But Jesus Christ it sure gets hard sometimes

[Chorus]
E                      D              A
And the bright Morning Star just left Chicago
E                   D                  A
He's headed down to Asheville Carolina via Ohio
E
They got a rich four-season climate
D
And ridge of mountains blue
         E                                  D*
And he's going to spend his golden years
                    A
Taking in the view 

[Verse 2]
A
Ever since Joseph passed away
The lady hasn't had too much to say
You can find her kneeling in the garden
    G        D
All skin and bones
         G          D
And when seeds have grown
             A
She'll plant again
A
Last time the market fell
Satan had to sell off half of hell
                                 G       D
Now it's all suburban sprawl and big box stores
        G        D                  A
Well he can't be sure but this might be the end

[Chorus]
E                      D              A
And the bright Morning Star just left Chicago
E                   D                  A
He's headed down to Asheville Carolina via Ohio
E
He's got a stack of classic vinyl
D
And a turn-table to boot
E                                        D*
And he's going to spend his golden years
                   A
Taking in the view

[Refrain]
A
And he'll sing
                    D A
I shall be released
A                                               D A
And I've got a woman over town who's good to me
F           A
Walking the floor

A                                     D A
And do-do-do looking out my back door
A
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in a church where a wedding's been
A                                                   D A
Not going to hear that train a'coming around the bend

[Chorus]
E                      D              A
And the bright Morning Star just left Chicago
E                   D                  A
He's headed down to Asheville Carolina via Ohio
E
They got a rich four-season climate
D
And ridge of mountains blue
         E                                  D*
And he's going to spend his golden years
                    A
Taking in the view
