Verse 1 -
CMary, this station is playing every sad song
AmI remember like we were alive
CI heard and sung them all from inside of these walls
AmIn a prison cell, where we spent those nights
CAnd they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
AmLicking young boys blood from her claws
CAnd I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
AmHer hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
Prechorus-
Guitar 1
F My heart's like a Gwound
EHave you seen my handBs? C#m
Just look at 'em shakeB E
And the song just keeps on repeaBtingC#m
Drop the needle agaBin E
And I dance with your ghosBt C#m
but that ain't the wayB A
AI can't move on and I can't stay the sBame
And all my friends say
Chorus:
C#mHeeeeyyyAy E
BTurn the record over
C#mHeeeyyAyyy E
I'lBl see you on the flip side
EThere you gBo and tuC#mrn the key and eAngine over
ELet her Bgo
LeC#mt somebody elAse lay at her feet
Slow it down here
Am G F C (x4) G
On President Street, you'll find the sisters praying over my city's heart
While Union Avenue turns to its disciple who feels the pressure heat coming on hard
Chorus : C G6sus4 Am F (x4)F G
And if all was well and your heart could find the words
Would we be for better baby, would we be for worse?
And if there was a way to navigate your seas
And if tonight, my true love...
Faster here
CI was crawling around in my head in the haze of aAm trance.
Rico said, C"I'ma turn you onto a Amsound, cool out your heFad.
This is the sound from Camden Gtown."
CAnd then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
IAm felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
WChen the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
TAmhis ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,
TFellin' me he's only looking for Gfun.
AmThis was the sound of the Gvery last gang in towFn.
CHORUS:
As heard by my Cwild young heart, like directions on a Fcold dark night,
Sayin', C'Let it out... FYou're doin' all right.'
And I heard it in his Cchain gang soul.
It wasn't just the Fsame sad song.
Saying, C'Let it out, you're doing all right.F'
And I'm doing all Emright, are you doin' alFl right? G C
Play at a moderate pace now
Well, I Amwonder which song they're gonna Eplay when we go.
Am Fmaj7/C
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
