This song is way different from all my other tabs, but i was shocked that this was no
where to be found with a decent tab. I hope this is right.

Keep playing all of this while Jimbo comes in singing.
Verse 1
Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do
But run run run
Lets run. Lets run
House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witness in the wild breeze
Come on baby run with me. Lets run
Alright this is the chorus and has a lot of noise, so a lot of this may be wrong
Chorus
Gm (Ray on organ playing chords) (Robbie jammin out this riff at the end of each line)
Run With me G|12-12-12-11-11-11-10-10-10-9-9-9----|

Run with me G|10-10-10-9-9-9-8-8-8-7-7-7----------|
Gm

Lets run.
Now Ray starts playing some crazy Organ tune that sounds like this.

Play those two riffs over verse 2
Verse 2
The mansion is warm at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxriant chairs
And you wont know a thing untill you get inside
Now robbie adds another wierd bend thing over and over again upon the
layers of sound. Bend it quarter steps, almost like a vibrato.

B|-----------------|
G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|5~-5~-5~-5~-5~---| etc.
D|-----------------|
Keep playing that while verse 2 continues.
Verse 2
Dead president's corpse in the drivers car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, not going very far
To the East to meet the Czar
Chorus
Am (Ray on organ) Play Robbie's last chorus part.
Run with me
Gm
Run with me
Am
Run with me
E
Lets run
Incase you havent noticed, the song just keeps getting higher pitched.
Not much changes in anything else. Such as Robbie's and Ray's parts,
scoot them up one fret.
Verse 3
Some outlaws live by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up girl we're almost home
Alright, now Robbie and Ray each do little solos right after one
another, Robbie always goes first and Ray answers back with a
little something something. But since the guitar is so fuzzy, and
there is way too much noise to hear what is going on, and i dont
feel like figuring out what they are playing, im going to skip
the solos part. if you figure out, email me, and you can have credit
for all this hard work.
Verse 3
We should see the gates by morning
We should be inside by evening
Sun sun sun
Burn burn burn
Soon soon soon
Moon moon moon
I will get you
Soon
Soon
Soon
I am the Lizard King
I can do anything
End
And as far as i am concerned, what i tabbed is 100% correcto, but becaue
the song is so disjunct, it is almost impossible to hear what is going on
sometimes. hope you enjoy it.
