Martin's Song
The Jayhawks
from "Hollywood Town Hall" (American Recordings, 1992)
transcribed by John Davidson and someone else who deserves
credit...can't remember who that was...
Intro
G Am D Am x2
Verse 1
GHe's only Amsix years old, Dthat old Killer Gdied.
GPut him down in a Amgreat big hole, DI'm filling up all the Gtime.
GSee the buildings Amrise up to the sky, DParking meters, traffic Gcops.
GYou'd best watch your Amrecord son, Dthey'll come an' lock yGou up.
Chorus
GI've been working Dall night.
CI go along into the Gday.
GAin't got much Dmoney now.
CGot the time ahead, Am7I got the time ahead to Gpay
Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill.
Don't talk to strangers, that's all you know.
Forty years of Sun death, the daylights still not over yet.
You should live to see evening fall, doctors working overtime.
Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building
blocks.
Repeat chorus
The above is the "Hollywood Town Hall" version, on "Blue Earth"
the second verse is slightly different, some of the lyrics are
difficult to make out but I think it is the following :-
Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill.
Don't talk to strangers, girl take the pill
Forty years of Sun death, acid rain is falling on my head.
Bush raids on the rise, doctors working overtime.
Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building
blocks.
