Intro: |F|C|G|Em|A|

Verse:
Am           G        F              Em         D
Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels to come
Am                                     G                  F
Where she used to feel the weight of a thousand lifetimes
Em                 D
Now she just feels numb
Em             D                     C          G               Am
But there was a time when her beauty raised the eyebrows of the town
Am            G                         F        Em          D      |F|C|G|Em|A|
Any man would gladly give up all he had just to take Desiree down


Verse:
Am                 G       F     Em            D
She stares out the window at the world passing by
Am                        G   
She is caught beneath the wheel
F                   Em                    D
Too heavy to lift - she feels too weak to try
Em                D        C      G        Am
People stare like strangers where once she might've asked them in
Am          G
To fill the void where her heart once was
F        Em                  D
Now she just fills her glass again
    F
And again


Chorus:
       C                     G
And she walks the floor less traveled
Dm                 Am
Thinks of a sad melody
F                    C                           
Wine and blood don't mix like they used to
Dm                   F
Now they just make a memory
C                               G       
Too many years trying to do the right thing for the wrong man
Dm                 C
Now the picture is clear
    C                            D
She drinks and she cries and she hides from her past
           F    C   G           Em       A      |F|C|G|Em|A| (play 2 times)
'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears


Verse:
Am                        G     F             Em      D             
All these half-truths and alibis help build a wall of denial
Am                               G                             F
She takes comfort in the night - darkness blocks out the light
                    Em    D
From falling on her aging smile
Em              D    C            G                 Am
Grey befalls her halo where there once was a golden mane
Am                            G            F
And her eyes don't shine like they used to
                      Em              D
Without the moon, the sun would be in vain


Chorus:
       C                     G                   
And she walks the floor less traveled
Dm                 Am
Thinks of a sad melody
F                    C                           
Wine and blood don't mix like they used to
Dm                   F
Now they just make a memory
C                               G       
Too many years trying to do the right thing for the wrong man
Dm                 C
Now the picture is clear
    C                            D
She drinks and she cries and she hides from her past
           F    C   G           Em       A
'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears

Verse: 
Bbm             Ab      F#                Fm           Eb
She puts on her make-up - though no one's seen her for days
Bbm             Ab          F#
Her silence is a lonely cry
      Fm               Eb
She's trapped inside a maze

Her tears have turned to honey, drawing the black flies of depression

Desiree's in disarray waiting for her angels again

to let me know what you think of it. I hope that when people see how easy this 
Gov't Mule song is that they'll try to tab some other songs from them. I will 
be adding a tab for "Bad Man Walking" and "About to Rage", also from their new 
album "Deja Voodoo". Questions and comments on Gov't Mule, Allman Brothers, 
guitar, music theory, or anything music related feel free to e-mail me.
