Verse 1 -
C5
Mary, this station is playing every sad song
A5
I remember like we were alive
C5
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
A5
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
C5
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
A5
Licking young boys blood from her claws
C5
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
A5
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
Prechorus-
Guitar 1
F5 G5
My heart's like a wound
E5 B5 C#5
Have you seen my hands?
B5 E5
Just look at 'em shake
B5 C#5
And the song just keeps on repeating
B5 E5
Drop the needle again
B5 C#5
And I dance with your ghost
B5 A5
but that ain't the way
A5 B5
I can't move on and I can't stay the same
And all my friends say
Chorus:
C#5 A5 E5
Heeeeyyyy
B5
Turn the record over
C#5 A5 E5
Heeeyyyyy
B5
I'll see you on the flip side
E5 B5 C#5 A5
There you go and turn the key and engine over
E5 B5
Let her go
C#5 A5
Let somebody else lay at her feet
Slow it down here
A5 G5 F5 C5 (x4) G5
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
Biss : C5 G64 A5 F5 (x4) F5 G5
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
C5 A5
I was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance.
C5 A5 F5
Rico said, "I'ma turn you onto a sound, cool out your head.
G5
This is the sound from Camden town."
C5
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
A5
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
C5
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
A5
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
F5 G5
Tellin' me he's only looking for fun.
A5 G5 F5
This was the sound of the very last gang in town.
CHORUS:
C5 F5
As heard by my wild young heart, like directions on a cold dark night,
C5 F5
Sayin', 'Let it out... You're doin' all right.'
C5
And I heard it in his chain gang soul.
F5
It wasn't just the same sad song.
C5 F5
Saying, 'Let it out, you're doing all right.'
E5 F5 G5 C5
And I'm doing all right, are you doin' all right?
Play at a moderate pace now
A5 E5
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
A5 F5
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
A5 E5
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
A5 F5
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.
A5 F5 C5 G5
See these chains I been hearing now for most of my life,
A5 F5 C5 G5
These chains I been hearing now for most of my life.
C5 F5
Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on grandmama's radio?
A5 G5 F5
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
C5 F5
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
A5 G5 F5
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?
A5 F5 C5 G5
If I Could Write, I'd Tell You How Much I've Missed These Nights
A5 F5 C5
Where We, Dig Around The bones, And Try to Find Peace
G5
And A Patch For The Hole
A5 F5 C5
I Lit A Cigarette On A Parking Meter
G5
The Corner Boys Told Her How I Was Dyin To Meet Her
A5 F5 C5
Like A Prayer I Said, On Deadman's
G5
And Drove Up Like A Parade
A5
You And Your High Top Sneakers
F5 C5
And Your Sailor Tattoos And Your
G5 A5
Ole' 55 That You Drove Through The Roof Of The Sky Up Above
F5 C5
These Indifferent Stars While You Just
G5 A5 F5 C5 G5
Kept Coming Apart, Right In My Arms
Start off slow, then back to moderate
