``Quicksand'' by Dinosaur Jr.

Yeah, the words were a pain. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me
out there to revise this.

Anyway, very simple song. The intro chords are Em and C.

Verse:

--3----3----3----3----|
--0----1----0----1----|
--0----0----0----0----|
--0----0----0----0----|
--2----0----2----0----|
--3----0----3----0----|

          (repeat)

  
  I'm closer to the golden dawn, I can't believe the wagon's gone,

                  
  It's history...

(, ,  through all of the verses)

  
  I'm frightened by the total goal,

  
  I'm drawing to the ragged hole(?)

                         
  And I ain't got the wagon anymore,

                              
  No I ain't got the wagon anymore...

                            (through the verse)
  I'm the twisted name...

  
  Should I leave the engine on,

  
  To listen to that mountain song,

                                  
  I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought...

                         
  And I ain't got the wagon anymore...


                     
  Don't believe in yourself

                    
  Don't deceive with believe

                           
  The knowledge comes with deperate ease(?)

              
  Ahh oh....

                                         (through the verse)
  Not too stable hangin' by a string...

  
  If I don't explain what you oughta know

  
  You can tell me all about it at the next ball show

                                  
  I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought

                         
  And I ain't got the power anymore...


                         (same as before)
  Don't believe in yourself...
