Augie March - Just passing through

^F At ten o'clock is when I ^Dmrise from my grave ^F And cast my eyes over the ^Dmideas that I couldn't save ^F Become regret and break ^Dmupon me now wave after wave ^F Bid me remember ^Dmwhat I ^Dmdone

^F A strange appeal is in the ^Dmmagazine zodiac ^F What inspiration are the ^Dmwomen of the dog track ^F Now there's a wheel and there's a ^Dmwell and there's a big rack ^F The perfumed killers ^Dmfrom the ^Dmnorth ^F Collect each Satur^Dmday to ^Dmbrood and sally forth

^F I don't know enough to ^Dmknow not to show it Or ^Ftell it like I know more ^{Dm F} I'm sorry, baby, but your ^Dmroving poet's Just a ^Fbank balance ^Dmtrouba^Dmdour Who ^Fcan't sing the song ^Dmany^Dmmore

^F At ten o'clock is when you ^Dmopen up your apple eyes ^F And drink a cup into the ^Dmone of earth the other skies ^F And out your mouth a tiny ^Dmburst of tiny baby cries ^F Oh where, oh where, oh ^Dmwhere did ^Dmyou get into to?

^F A strange appeal unto a ^Dmpocket where a body lay ^F I saw a dream of such a ^Dmcouple only yesterday ^F When the one did leave the ^Dmother went to war Enola Gay ^F She had a halo, ^Dmwas a ^Dmheroine ^F She had a halo, ^Dmwas a ^Dmheroine

^F Well, I know I'm not ^Dmloathe to show it ^F I smile like a bandsaw ^{Dm F} I'm sorry, darling, but your ^Dmroving poet's Just a ^Ffootloose ^Dmman-^Dmwhore Who ^Fcan't talk the talk ^Dmany^Dmmore

^F We're just passing ^Dmthrough ^F Just passing ^Dmthrough

^F At ten o'clock is when I ^Dmrise from my grave ^F And cast my eyes over the ^Dmideas that I couldn't save ^F Become regret and break ^Dmupon me now wave after wave ^F Bid me remember ^Dmwhat I ^Dmdone

When ^Ftime doesn't tear you pay a ^Dmfee to make it rip The ^Fditch witch, the back hoe, the ^Dmbobcat, the tip ^FSoil from the hillock spilling ^Dmover on that solemn lip ^F It covers up the ^Dmcedar ^Dmmirror Do you ^Fever see your weakness ^Dmany ^Dmclearer?

^F We were winding up the ^Dmroad to the site With the ^Fwindows down and the ^Dmcigarettes alight ^FSinging some rubbish about, &^Dmquot;My soul's alright" ^F I didn't know what ^DmI could ^Dmdo [repeat x2] It's just ^Fyou and I, some other ^Dmguy, for^Dmever passing through.

^F We're just passing ^Dmthrough (Like a gall stone) ^F Just passing ^Dmthrough (Like a rat through a snake) ^F Just passing ^Dmthrough (Little rubbish through a rake) ^F Just passing ^Dmthrough
