A5 E5 On Monday Dealey Plaza fills A5 E5 C#5 with people on the way A5 E5 to the court houses and meeting rooms C#5 E5 D5 but me, I'm free today D5 E5 And I traced the path the motorcade A5 D5 took back in sixty-three: D5 E5 A5 D5 past the grassy knoll into the book depository. A5 D5 A5 D5 They put in a museum where they say the shots were fired. A5 D5 It's closed today but I don't mind; E5 I'm already getting tired. A5 E5 There's photographs and headlines A5 E5 C#5 and diagrams of the street. A5 E5 They?re showing the Zapruder film; C#5 E5 D5 it's always on repeat. D5 E5 Last night I dreamt I was the bullet A5 D5 from frame 313; D5 E5 A5 D5 the one that scattered his head around the limousine. A5 D5 A5 D5 I was right there for his final thoughts of John John and Jackie D5 E5 A5 and oh my God Big D. Interlude: A5 , A5 , A5 , E5 , D5 , x4 A5 E5 A5 E5 C#5 Back then everybody worried further to the south. A5 E5 C#5 E5 D5 Missiles screamed across Miami, trail and fall out. D5 E5 A5 D5 Teachers drilled their students hiding underneath their desks D5 E5 A5 D5 to fear the twitchy trigger finger of old Krushchev. A5 D5 A5 D5 But Cuba couldn't kill nobody, not like Dallas could. A5 D5 E5 When I was growing up there, I understood A5 E5 Remember when I?d pick you up A5 E5 C#5 outside your mothers house? A5 E5 C#5 E5 D5 The two of you were fighting, and we promised we'd get out D5 E5 A5 D5 Out far from the narrowness and the confines and the doubt. D5 E5 A5 D5 We'd leave behind all that we know and never turn around. A5 D5 A5 D5 Cut the strings and tear away from all that kept us down D5 E5 A5 and oh my god big D Interlude: A5 , A5 , A5 , E5 , D5 , x4 A5 , E5 , A5 , E5 , C#5 , A5 , E5 , C#5 , E5 , D5 , D5 , E5 , A5 , D5 , D5 , E5 , A5 , D5 , A5 , D5 , A5 , D5 , A5 , D5 , E5 , A5 E5 A5 E5 C#5 Now I fly out of Laguardia, or out of JFK A5 E5 C#5 E5 D5 and I land at DFW and I drive down LBJ D5 E5 A5 D5 and the houses and the shopping centers, don't make me afraid. D5 E5 A5 D5 Why they ever did, it's hard now to explain A5 D5 A5 D5 But you, you never really left, for you was it the same? D5 E5 A5 And oh my god Big D Interlude: A5 , A5 , A5 , E5 , D5 , x4 A5 E5 A5 E5 C#5 November 22nd I was at the kitchen sink A5 E5 C#5 E5 D5 Just like everyone remembers where they were in ?63. D5 E5 A5 D5 The shudder that shot through me with that unexpected call. D5 E5 A5 D5 I locked the bathroom door and hit my fist against the wall. A5 D5 A5 D5 I should of come to rescue you, I should have should have yes A5 D5 E5 What happened in the past ten years, I coulda guessed A5 E5 A5 E5 C#5 Remember when I?d carry you, and lay you in your bed? A5 E5 C#5 E5 D5 And promised to take care of you, but I just left instead. D5 E5 A5 D5 Last night I dreamt I was the pills you swallowed down. D5 E5 A5 D5 I tried to come back up, but you wouldn't let me out. A5 D5 A5 D5 And I couldn't help but wonder, did think of me? D5 E5 A5 and oh my god big D A5 , A5 , A5 , E5 , D5 , x4
