Verse 1 -
C
Mary, this station is playing every sad song
Am
I remember like we were alive
C
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
Am
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights
C
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Am
Licking young boys blood from her claws
C
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Am
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
Prechorus-
Guitar 1
F G
My heart's like a wound
E B C#m
Have you seen my hands?
B E
Just look at 'em shake
B C#m
And the song just keeps on repeating
B E
Drop the needle again
B C#m
And I dance with your ghost
B A
but that ain't the way
A B
I can't move on and I can't stay the same
And all my friends say
Chorus:
C#m A E
Heeeeyyyy
B
Turn the record over
C#m A E
Heeeyyyyy
B
I'll see you on the flip side
E B C#m A
There you go and turn the key and engine over
E B
Let her go
C#m A
Let 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
Biss : C G64 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 Am
I was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance.
C Am F
Rico said, "I'ma turn you onto a sound, cool out your head.
G
This is the sound from Camden town."
C
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
Am
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
C
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
Am
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
F G
Tellin' me he's only looking for fun.
Am G F
This was the sound of the very last gang in town.
CHORUS:
C F
As heard by my wild young heart, like directions on a cold dark night,
C F
Sayin', 'Let it out... You're doin' all right.'
C
And I heard it in his chain gang soul.
F
It wasn't just the same sad song.
C F
Saying, 'Let it out, you're doing all right.'
Em F G C
And I'm doing all right, are you doin' all right?
Play at a moderate pace now
Am E
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
Am F7M/C
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.

These chains I been hearing now for most of my life.
