On the three Rockefellers in the chorus, play a different chord each time (D, then A, the F#m)
AThe exhaust from the pErison van's going to heaven
DBut I'm going to AAttica
Gonna put a hundred miles
Between me and my dealing habit
I'm watching Poughkeepsie move by
In the afternoon rain
My hands are turning blue
From these cuffs they got me in
(F#m A)
AI tried to Ekeep my job
DAt the dollar sAtore
Found out my mama was sick and
A dollar wasn't enough anymore
I promise you mama,
I'm gonna get you them pills
I got me a box of bags
And a baker's scale
Chorus:
F#m15 grams of Aheroin
F#mAn ounce of sApeed
D15 yEears to lAife
D, A, F#m
Rockefeller x3
DThat's a long old tAime
My brother was shot down on Warren St
A year ago tonight
Can't you see the medics with his body
In the siren light
I promise you, brother,
I'ma be a good dad
I'ma give our children something
Like we never had
Chorus
Twenty boys in orange clothes
In the jailhouse yard
Twenty needle marks
On the arms of God
500 picketers this morning
On the governor's lawn
50 white stars, my darling,
In the milky dawn
What fun.
