The Crane
From The Trip Shakespeare Album "Across the Universe"

INTRO :  D Dm Am    G F C
          D          Dm             Am
Hear me tell how the hounds of the bankers
          G           F        C
Took my mind to the freaking ridge
          D              Dm         Am
How the claims and the howling reminders
          G               F       C
Kept my eyes from their rest at night

            D         Dm         Am
When the dogs of the bank are upon me
             G         F          C
And they've come to repossess my car
         D            Dm         Am
I'll be found at the base of the canyon
         G            F            C
I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor

        D         Dm          Am
All you men that live for the evening
         G              F       C
Seven hours when the light forgives
          D          Dm              Am
And you race like a dog when he's dreaming
          G            F           C
And you wait for the yank of the hook

        D                        E
Understand that the chains are magical
            Am                G          C
And they strain to keep you where you are
          D          Dm          Am
I'll be found at the base of the canyon
        G              F            C
I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor

         G          F         C
Let the Crane take back the engine
         G          F         C
Let the crane take back the wheel
         G          F         C
And I feel that the world should come with me
         E                      A
When I ride to the crack in the earth (x2)

         D            Dm          Am
Hear me tell how you walk into a dreamland
        G             F            C
With a line from the back of your head

          D          Dm           Am
To the wheel that revolves at the center
          G           F           C
And you wait for the yank of the hook

           D                     E
When the dogs of the bank are upon me
               Am         G        C
And they've come to repossess my car
          D          Dm           Am
I'll be found at the base of the canyon
          G            F           C
I'll be torn from the wreck of the motor

         G          F          C
Let the Crane take back the engine
         G          F          C
Let the crane take back the wheel
         G          F                  C
And I feel that the world should come with me
          E                      A
When I ride to the crack in the earth (x2)
          E                      A
When I ride to the crack in the earth, ah ha!

Solo:                          quick

Let the Crane take back the engine
         G          F          C
Let the crane take back the wheel
         G          F          C
And I feel that the world should come with me
         G          F          C
When I ride to the crack in the earth
         G          F           C
Oh I feel you should come with me
         G          F          C
Yes I feel you should be here
         G          F          C
And I feel that the world should come with me
         E                      A
When I ride to the crack in the earth

F   C   F  C    F  C   G-------|
Ah ah  Oh oh   Ah Ah Ah--------|
