Verse 1 -

CMary, (x32010@1)this station is playing every sad song
AmI (x02210@1)remember like we were alive
CI (x32010@1)heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
AmIn (x02210@1)a prison cell, where we spent those nights
CAnd (x32010@1)they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
AmLicking (x02210@1)young boys blood from her claws
CAnd (x32010@1)I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
AmHer (x02210@1)hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb



Prechorus-
Guitar 1

E (022100@1)                  B (x2444x@1)  C#mHave (x13321@4)you seen my hands?
                      B (x2444x@1) EJust (022100@1)look at 'em shake
                                B (x2444x@1) C#mAnd (x13321@4)the song just keeps on repeating
                   B (x2444x@1) EDrop (022100@1)the needle again
                          B (x2444x@1) C#mAnd (x13321@4)I dance with your ghost
                      B (x2444x@1)   Abut (x02220@1)that ain't the way
A (x02220@1)                                   BI (x2444x@1)can't move on and I can't stay the same

And all my friends say

Chorus:
C#m (x13321@4)   A (x02220@1) EHeeeeyyyy (022100@1)BTurn (x2444x@1)the record over

E (022100@1)        B (x2444x@1)     C#m (x13321@4)           AThere (x02220@1)you go and turn the key and engine over

  C#m (x13321@4)        ALet (x02220@1)somebody else lay at her feet
Slow it down here
Am G F C (x4) G

On President Street, you'll find the sisters praying over my city's heart
While Union Avenue turns to its disciple who feels the pressure heat coming on hard

Chorus : C G6sus4 Am F (x4)F G

And if all was well and your heart could find the words
Would we be for better baby, would we be for worse?
And if there was a way to navigate your seas
And if tonight, my true love...

Faster here

C (x32010@1)                                              AmI (x02210@1)was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance.
           C (x32010@1)                        Am (x02210@1)                   FRico (133211@1)said, "I'ma turn you onto a sound, cool out your head.
                              GThis (320003@1)is the sound from Camden town."

CAnd (x32010@1)then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
 AmI (x02210@1)felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
 CWhen (x32010@1)the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
 AmThis (x02210@1)ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
 F (133211@1)                             GTellin' (320003@1)me he's only looking for fun.
Am (x02210@1)                      G (320003@1)                  FThis (133211@1)was the sound of the very last gang in town.



CHORUS:
               C (x32010@1)                                    FAs (133211@1)heard by my wild young heart, like directions on a cold dark night,
        C (x32010@1)            FSayin', (133211@1)'Let it out... You're doin' all right.'
                      CAnd (x32010@1)I heard it in his chain gang soul.
                   FIt (133211@1)wasn't just the same sad song.
        C (x32010@1)                                 FSaying, (133211@1)'Let it out, you're doing all right.'
                  Em (022000@1)                   F (133211@1)      G (320003@1)         CAnd (x32010@1)I'm doing all right, are you doin' all right?

Am (x02210@1)                            EWell, (022100@1)I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.

        Am (x02210@1)                               EWhen (022100@1)we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
        Am (x02210@1)                                      Fmaj7/C
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.
