Deep Thoughts From a Shallow Mind
Doug Supernaw
Capo 2
Intro:
[D] [G] [Em] [A] [D]
Verse One:
[D]Parkview used to be just on the outside of [G]town
Now it's [D]right in the middle of a city that's grown all a[A]round it
[D]And the old folks there just sit and stare at the [G]walls
Except for [D]one crazy old man [A]standing there preaching in the [D]halls
Verse Two:
[D]His old friend died last week so they let him [G]go
And his [D]eyes teared up when nobody pulled to the [A]shoulder
And some [D]punks drove by and yelled as they stood at the [G]casket
And he [D]cussed this world that had [A]gone to hell in a [D]basket
Chorus:
[D]So he walked downtown with his cane pole looking through the window[G]
[G]of what used to be the drugstore
[A]Next to the cafe where he laughed away his [G]life
He heads on [D]down to the fishing hole and dreams about his hero
[G]Who took him there when he was [Em]three years old
[A]Same spot everyday but don't need no bait 'cause it's dry
Yes it's [G]true that he's not quite [A]all there but who cares
[F#m]Neither are the values that he's [Bm]lived by for 90 years
And [G]just like his hometown, he's a[A]bout to shut 'er [D]down
Verse Three:
[D]My views used to be just like those kids in that [G]car
Until I [D]woke up one day thanks to a switch in the [A]yard
Now the [D]old man's gone, but his thoughts are living in [G]me
About the [D]way this damned old [A]world is supposed to [D]be
Chorus:
[D]So I walk downtown with his cane pole looking through the window[G]
[G]of what used to be the drugstore
[A]Next to the cafe where he laughed away his [G]life
I head on [D]down to the fishing hole and dream about my hero
[G]Who took me there when I was [Em]three years old
[A]Same spot everyday but don't need no bait 'cause it's dry
Yes it's [G]true that I'm not quite [A]all there but who cares
[F#m]Neither are the values that he [Bm]taught me in 30 years
And [G]just like his hometown, he just [A]had to shut 'er [D]down
And [G]just like his hometown, he just [A]finally shut 'er [D]down
