Capo on 7th  


Intro 
C - Just pick the second then the first strings 


     F5                             C5 
Well tonight's the night when the waters rise

       C5       C5    F5 
You're groping in the dark

    A5                                    G5
The ticket takers count the men who can afford the ark

    F5              C5
The ticket takers will not board

        C5      C5       F5
For the ticket takers are tied

    A5                F5
For five and change an hour

          G5               C5
They will count the passers by

They say the sky's the limit
But the sky's about to fall
Down come all them record books cradle and all
They say before he bit it
That the boxer felt no pain
But somewhere there's a gamblin' man
With a ticket in the rain

F5    C5       G5             C5 
Mary Anne, I know I'm a long shot

    F5   C5                G5 
But Mary Anne, what else have you got

  F5           C5           C5      C5    F5
I am a ticket taker, many tickets have I torn

    A5             F5           G5              C5 
And I will be your ark, we will float above the storm

Many years have passed in this river town
I've sailed through many traps
I keep a stock of weapons should society collapse
I keep a stock of amo
One of oil and one of gold
I keep a place for Mary Anne
Soon she will come home
