Intro: D
5.15 a.m.
snow laying all around G
a collier cycles home
from his night shift undergrDound A
past the silent pub
primary school, workingmens club Em
on the road from the pithead
the churchyard pGacked
with mining dDead
then beneath the bridge
he comes to a giant car
a shrGoud of snow upon the roof
a mark ten jaguDar A
he thought the man was fast asleep
silent, still and deep Em
both dead and cold
shot thrGough
with bullet hDoles G7M
the one armed bandit man
came north to fill his boots D
came up from cockneyland
e-type jags and flashy suits G7M
put your money in
pull the levers
watch them spin D
cash cows in all the pubs
but he preferred the new nighAtclubs
nineteen sixty-seven
bandit men in birdcage heaven Bm
la dolce vita, sixty-nine
all nGew to people of the tyne D A
Dwho knows who did what
somebody made a call
they sGaid his hands
were in the pot
that he'd been skimming hDauls A
he picks up the swag
they gaily gave away Em
drives his giant jag
off tGo his big pay dDay G7M
the bandit man
came north to fill his boots D
came up from cockneyland
e-type jags and flashy suits G7M
the bandit man
came up the great north road D
up to geordieland
to mine
the mother lode A
A
D
seams blew up or cracked
black diamonds came hard won G
generations toiled and hacked
for a pittance and black lDung A
crushed by tub or stone
together
and alone Em
how the young and old
paid the prGice of cDoal A
eighteen sixty-seven
my angel's gone to heaven Bm
he'll be happy there G
sunlight and sweet clean air D A
D
they gather round the glass
tough hewers and crutters Bm
child trappers and putters
the little foals Emand half-maArrows Em
who pushed
and pulled the bAarrows Em
the hod boys
and the rGolleywaymen D

Intro: Am
we're taking on water
dDiesel and stores
lGaying up awhile
before i'm bCack on board
they're pAmatching her up
to go fishing agDain G
thAmey're welding her rudder
scrDubbing her keel
scGars on her belly
need tCime to heal
in the dAmock
with the trawlermB7en
i know all the people
there's nobody new
soon we'll be leaving
with the same old crew
on the green water
the tumbling sea
they ain't running
like the good old days
time's just slipping
down the old slipways
in the dock
so dear to me
Am
dark is the nDight G
i need a gEmuiding light
to kGeep me
from fEmoundering
on the rDocks Am
my only prDayer G
is just to sEmee you there
at the Gend

C | Am | D | Bm | F
Em | B7 | F | Em
i could use a layoff
getting my strength back
but there's a loan to pay off
and a few skipjack
so it's a turnaround
back in the southerly wind
pirates coming in
to steal our gold
you can count yourself lucky
with a profit in the hold
in the dock
when we come in
dark is the night
i need a guiding light
to keep me
from foundering
on the rocks
my only prayer
is just to see you there
at the end
of my wandering
back in the dock
back to tupelo

C7M [x32000]
Am
around the time of 'clambake'
movie number twenty-five
you and the lying dutchman
are still in overdrive
you're as strong as when you started
mississippi in your soul
you can still be marlon brando
and the kGing of rock and rAmoll
it isn't just the records
no, you must have hollywood
the songs alone are not enough
that much is understood
you'll soon be back in memphis
maybe then you'll know what to do
the storylines they're giving you
are jGust not ringing trAmue Am/G
F Dm/F G C
oh, it's a ways to go

Am
when you're young and beautiful
your dreams are all ideals
later on it's not the same
lord, everything is real
sixteen hundred miles of highway
roll back to the truth
and a song to give your mother
in your first recording booth
around the time of 'clambake'
that old dream's still rolling on
sometimes there'll be the feeling
things are going wrong
the morning star is fading
lord, the mississippi's cold
you can still be marlon brando
and the king of rock and roll
but it's a ways to go
back to tupelo

song for sonny liston
Capo: 4
Chords:
A5 [x022xx]
A7 [x05655]
Am6 [x04555]
sA5o many mouths
to feed on the farm
sonny was the second
to the last one born
his mamma ran away
and his daddy beat him bad
and he grew up wild
good love he never had
he had a left
like henry's hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead
well he hung with the hoods
he wouldn't stroke the fans
but he had dynamite
in both his hands
boom bam
like the slammer door
the bell and the can
and the bodies on the floor
beware the bear's in town
somebody's money says
the bear's going down
yeah, the bear never smiles
A5/G
sonny's going down
A5/F#
for miles and miles
A5/F
sonny's going down
for miles and miles A5
the writers didn't like him
the fight game jocks
with his lowlife backers
and his hands like rocks
they didn't want to have
a bogey man
they didn't like him
and he didn't like them
blD5ack cadillac
alligator boots
mA5oney in the pockets
of his sharkskin suits
sA7ome say the bear
tAm6ook a flop
they cA7ouldn't believe it
when they saw him drop
he had a lA5eft
like henry's hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead
joe louis was his hero
he tried to be the same
but a criminal child
wears a ball and chain
so the civil rights people
didn't want him on the throne
and the hacks and the cops
wouldn't leave him alone
beware the bear's in town
somebody's money says
the bear's going down
yeah, the bear never smiles
sonny's going down
for miles and miles
sonny's going down
for miles and miles
at the foot of his bed
with his feet on the floor
there was dope in his veins
and a pistol on the drawer
there was no investigation
as such
he hated needles
but he knew too much
criss-crossed
on his back
scars from his daddy
like slavery tracks
the second-last child
was the second-last king
never again was it the same
in the ring
he had a left
like henry's hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead
they never could be sure
about the day he was born
a motherless child
set to working on the farm
and they never could be sure
about the day he died
the bear was the king
they cast aside
beware the bear's in town
somebody's money says
the bear's going down
yeah, the bear never smiles
sonny's going down
for miles and miles
sonny's going down
for miles and miles
