Untangle Your Mind

Untangle Your Mind John Hartford RCA Country Legends Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of C May 28, 2012 C F C F C You're stretching and a straining, and a bending too hard F C F C All of the chickens have run from your yard F C F C Alone in the doorway, a gun in your hand G7 C And you better untangle your mind You try not to listen to the children upstairs Who laugh at you nervously sitting down there The shiny blue metal lays cold in your lap And you'd better untangle your mind You worry the morning, you worry the night You worry for something that's not yet in sight Your worry is rotten, your head is on fire And you'd better untangle your mind Your engine is quiet, and you're sunk in the mud Your wheels only spinning, you can't seem to hug Your face hanging back, you have covered your eyes And you'd better untangle your mind Relax or you'll snap like a string in the strang Without your umbrella, go out in the rain Just look in the treetops, and let it come down and try and untanle your mind Don't think of tomorrow or even next hour Taste only the sweet things, forget all the sour It's getting too heavy, to sit in this chair Without you untangle your mind.
