Chisopani
(The End of Desire)

D                    G
Lay your pack down, Jackie
	            D                   G
	Slide that load right off your mind
        Em               Bm
You have one less day before you
	         G         A
	And one more behind
D                    G
The spirit once was willing
	          D             G
	All the shadows fled before
Em                     F#m
Leave those thoughts beside your shoes
	    G 
	Outside the door, let them go,
	                     A
		leave them there, let them blow

          D
Over the fields of Chisopani
	G
	The tattered prayer flags fly
             Em                Bm
Thread by thread their souls unravel
	G                 A
	Snatched away to join the sky
D
So Jackie do you hear the wind blowing
                 G                  Bm
	Like a chill and senseless choir?
         Em               Bm
Can you face the sunrise showing
	              G                  A
	That you have almost reached the end
		     D          C-Bb D
		Of desire?

The teachers and the tea leaves
	Said your dreams would take you far
All your friends, the yearbook sybylls
	Said you would be a star
But here along the roadside
	Shine the glittering cogs and gears
Of abandoned schemes and visions
	Dropped by the passing years, latter days
		they appear in the haze

Over the fields of Chisopani…

         C       Bb    D
And the road has no beginning
        C          Bb     D
And the end’s what you define
             C      Bb      D 
There’s no trip without a tripper
    Em                 F#m
So lay your pack down, Jackie,
            G                   A
Slide that load right off your mind


Over the fields of Chisopani…

          Em                Bm
…Can you face the sunrise showing
Em                  Bm
Is it any comfort knowing
              G                  A
That you have almost reached the end
         G                  Bm 
You have almost reached the end
         Em                 A
You have almost reached the end
              D           C-Bb D
The end of desire?
