Thrasher : Rust Never Sleeps : Neil Young.

D G D

D D+C# D+B D G A

D G D

D D+C# D+B D G A

D

They were hiding behind hay bales,

Giii D

they were planting in the full moon

D+C# D+B D Giii Av

They had given all they had for something new

D

But the light of day was on them

Giii D

They could see the thrashers coming

D+C# D+B Giii Av

and the water shone like diamonds in the dew.

Giii Av D Giii

And I was just getting up, hit the road before it's light

Av D DM7 D DM7

Tryin' to catch an hour on the sun ....

Giii Av

When I saw those thrashers rollin' by,

D D+C# D+B

Looking more than two lanes wide

G or Em7 Av

I was feelin like my day had just begun

Where the eagle glides ascending there's an

ancient river bending

Down the timeless gorge of changes

where sleeplessness awaits

I searched out my companions, they were lost

in crystal canyons

When the aimless blade of science slashed

the pearly gates

It was then I knew I'd had enough, burned my

credit card for fuel

Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand

With a one-way ticket to the land of truth

and my suitcase in my hand

How I lost my friends I still don't understand

They had the best selection, they were

poisoned with protection

There was nothing that they needed, they hd

nothing left to find

They were lost in rock formations or became

park bench mutations

On the sidewalks and in the stations

they were waiting, waiting

So I got bored and left them there, they were

just deadweight to me

It's better on the road wothout that load

Brought back the time when I was eight or nine

I was watchin' my mama's T.V., it was that great

Grand Canyon rescue episode

Where the vulture glides descending on

an asphalt highay bending

Thru libraries and museums, galaxies and stars

Down the windy alls of friendship to the rose

clipped by the bullwhip

The motel of lost companions waits with

heated pool and bar

But me I'm not stopping there, got my own row left to hoe

Just another mine in the field of time

When the thrashers come and I'm stuck in the sun

like dinosaurs in shrines

But I'll know the time has come to give what's mine

verse
