[Intro] G C G D D G C G G D G [Verse]
Down in the Cdark and the Gdoom of the Ccity There's a Gmonstrous old gathering Dhall And a Cman there making a Gwindy long Emspeech To the Clords and ladies Dall
[Verse]
GFifteen thousand, Ctwenty thousand Gpeople CMilling and murmuring Dthere "And Emthis ain't the Dplace," says CI to myGself "For a Cfellow that Dneeds the fresh Gair" D
[Verse]
So I Gasked for directions to Emget me ouGtside And I Cfollowed them all for Dsure And I Emended up Ddown, ten Cfloors underGground And I Cnever saw an Dexit doGor D
[Verse]
The Gfirst live soul I Emsaw was a poGliceman He was Clong, he was leaning on a Drail I says "EmI'll get to Dhim beCfore he sees Gme And Cferries me off to the Djail"
[Verse]
So I Gease myself up on his Emstarboard Gquarter I says "ExCcuse me, your honour, for Dsure But if Emyou've got a Dminute and Cnothing to Gdo Could you Chead me Dout toward the Gair?" D
[Verse]
Well, he Gpointed his finger back Emover me Gshoulder And CI peered away through the Dgloom And Emthere, sure eDnough, was an Cexit Gsign CBright as the crack of Ddoom D7
[Verse]
Well, I Gthanked him as nicely as Cever I Gknew And I Emeased my way toward the Ddoor But he Emfell into Dstep with me, Cright alongGside I could Chear his Dheels on the Gfloor D
[Verse]
Well, he Gsmiled like the sharks out off EmLittle Green GIsland He had Cteeth all over his Dface He says, "You Emknow there's Dfolks'd give an Carm and a Gleg CJust to get inside this Dplace"
[Verse]
"Oh Gboy!" thinks I, "I've got my Cfoot in it Gnow I Cnever should have come to this Dtown" And EmI don't Dknow what I'm Cdoin' here Gnow But I'm Csure I'm Ddoin' it Gwrong D
[Verse]
He says, "There's Gpeople travel all Emover the Gcountry CJust to come and see this Dthing But if EmI know your Dtype, you'd rather Csit around Ghome And Clisten to DLittle Red Gsing"
[Verse]
"Little Red," I said, "I'll be Cdamned," I Gsaid "I got a Cfriend by that name back Dhome" And he Emsmiles and says, "DLook, in Cthis crazy Gworld You got to Ccall them like they Dcome"
[Verse]
"And GI can tell a Maine man Emany-damn-Gwhere I can Ctell him by his Dtongue And Emyou ain't that Dfar from the Cexit doGor But you're a Cdamn long Dway from Ghome" D G
[Verse]
Well, he laughs till the echoes Emlaugh aGgain He says "OCkay, hold out your Dpaws" So I Emclosed my Deyes, and I Cheld out my Ghands Like my Cfingers were breaking the Dlaws
[Verse]
And there was Gblueberries, Cblackberries GTumbled into my Dhand CRosehips bright with the Gsmell of the Emnight From Coff of the summer Dland
[Verse]
He says, "GLittle sister stayed Chome on the island She Gvisits us now and aDgain C Brings us all she can Gpick from the Emhills And it Csure does taste like Dhome"
[Instrumental] G C G D D G D G [Verse]
GWell, we stood in the darkness chomping them berries CEating them our of our Dhand And my Emheart went aDway to the Crocks and the Gbays And my Cfriends in that lonesome Dland
[Verse]
He says "GTell me, Cspeaking of our mutual Gfriend How that Ctough little fast picking Dfool Can Emfind his way Dthrough the Cbrambles and Grocks Of a Chomesick Maine man's Dsoul"
[Verse]
"Ah, but I Gguess he knows when the Emdays get too Glong And the Cmorning comes too Dsoon There's Emnothing will Dknock off the Cedge of your Gtroubles Like Cpicking an Dold-time Gtune"
[Instrumental] C G D G [Verse]
Well, he stowed the empty bag aEmway in his Gpocket CTurned on his heel to Dgo And he Emsays, "Well, good Dluck, and if you Csee Little GRed Tell himC Pearly Dsays 'HelGlo'"
[Outro] C G D G
