Long Shadow Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
Intro: Am
Well IC'll tell Fyou one Cthing thaGt I know
You dCon't face yourAm demons down
You gCot to grab em jack
And Fpin em tGo the ground
The DAmevil may care,C and maybe God he won't
You beAmtter make sureC you checkG on the Do's and the Don'ts
CCrawlAm up the Mountain
To reach where the Eagles fly
SuCre you caAmn glimpse from the mountaintop
WhereF the soulC of theDm muse might rise.
And iCf you put Amit all together
You wCon't haAmve to look around
FYou kCnow you Dmcast
A FLong ShaAmdow On the Ground
TChen one Fday I couCld tellG my tracks
ByC the holes inAm the soles of my shoes
And Cthat the day I saFid
I'm gonnGa make the news
And fCalling in the gaAmrden
Of dCays sAmo long ago
SoCmewhereAm in the memory
The Fsun sChines on youDm boy
PlCayingAm in the Arroyos
Where the American rivers flow
FrCom thAme Appalachians
DoFwn to the DCelta RDmoads
A mCan can't thAmink so long
His brain could well explode
TheCre's trAmains running thru the junctions
A FKing comes dCown the rDmoad
And ifC you put iAmt all together
You Cwon't have to look aAmround
FYou Cknow you Dmcast
A Long SFhadow On the GAmround
LisGten to the Country- The Night Jar and the Bell
LiGsten to the Night Streamliner
SounGding like the wolves of Hell
HeCad for the wAmater- the water of the cleansing spell
It was Calways are deAmstination
On the Fexpress of the CNe'er Do DmWells
And we Crock thru Madison AmCity
And we Cdidn't even know she was tAmhere
And when we Chit the Buffers in MAmemphis
And FBeale street didn't Chave no pDmrayer
I heCar punks talk of aAmnarchy- I hear hCobos on the rAmailroad
I hear Cmutterings on the Amchain-gangs
It was tFhose men who bCuilt the Dmroads
And if you Cput it all toAmgether
You Cdidn't even once rAmelent
FYou Ccast a Long DmShadow
FAnd that Gis your teAmstament
FSomewhCere in my sDmoul, there's always Rock and CRoll
