The Ballad Of Sean Foley
FFell down from your haven.
CTo an empire cityscape.
DmSomeone asked him for directions.
CHe would always know the way.
FOffer you his raincoat.
CLet you hide under his hat.
DmIf you can't walk from whiskey.
CHe'll just throw you on his back.
AmAnd thFen away you'll go.
AmThrougFh the crowd gathered below.
AmTo theC spinning wheels.
AmOf youCr mobile home.
DmAnd he'll watch you sleep.
LikeC a guardian angel.
FStays inside the music.
CSometimes steps outside the law.
DmAlways in the name of justice.
CStill believes in the lost cause.
FDistract you with a story.
CAlways tries to make you laugh.
DmHe brings people together.
CLike Gertrude Stein and Mama Cass.
AmAnd heF says, "My friends are yours,
AmThis tFown's full of open doors
AmTo theC sold-out shows,
AmEighthC bungalows,
DmAnd the lonesome smokes,
In tChis tiny studio."
FAlwayAms finds a muse.
FEveryAmwhere he goes.
FWhethAmer it's the blues.
FOr soAmme Dmabandoned showtune.
FLearned how to be selfless,
CHow to love what wasn't there,
DmBut never dwell upon it.
CJust embrace what's everywhere.
FPeople busking in the subway.
CMc's freestyle in the park.
DmHeard a kid from martha's vineyard,
CMade him turn around his car.
AmAnd awFay he goes
AmTo theF local radio
AmSayingC, "What's that sound?
AmI'd liCke to know,
DmAnd this might sound strange,
But CI just can't let it go."
FGuessC evDmery sinner needs a saint.
Guess every sinner needs a saint.
Guess every sinner needs a saint.
Says everybody is the same.
