INTRO: D5 D5 (4x) 
 
D5                     D5 
Black faces pressed against the glass 
           G5       G5          D5 
Where the wind had leaned its weight 
                      D5 
Wind blown scars and top-down cars 
      E5        E5       A5 
All share one western trait 
G5        G5           D5 
Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks 
     F#5                  G* 
From winos to dime store jews 
                          D5 
Probably don't know they gave me  
      A5            A5      D5 
These late John Garfield blues 
 
 
Midnight fell on Franklin St. 
And the lamp bulbs all was broke 
For the life of me I could not see 
But I heard a brand new joke 
2 men were standing on a bridge 
One jumped and screamed you lose 
Just left the odd man holding 
These late John Garfield blues 
 
 
I'm going away to the last resort 
In a week or two real soon 
Where the fish don't bite but once a night 
In the moonlight of the moon 
The horses scream their nightmares dreams 
And the dead men all wear shoes 
'Cause everybody's dancing 
These late John Garfieldfield blues
