Marah
[E]There was a time when I d[G#m]idn't talk
[C#m]I'd look away, or I'd sh[A]rug it off
[G#m]Turn it out or tu[A]rn it off
Or say something sh[B]ort and soft
[E]Out of school I took a [G#m]J-O-B
[C#m]Makin' buttons in a f[A]actory
[G#m]Thinking what does life got i[A]n for me?
And I didn't wa[B]nna know
[E]In a city full of do[G#m]uble deals
[C#m]My boss would yawn and roll back o[A]n his heels
[G#m]Like anyone could c[A]op a feel of la[B]dy luck
[E]I was made with my br[G#m]other Bill
[C#m]Drinking Muskie Moons on top of La[A]urel Hill
[G#m]It's funny now I'd cheek a poi[A]son pill to so[B]ber up
[E]And no two-bit claim of[G#m] I'm all right
[C#m]Is gonna turn aro[A]und and make it right
[G#m]So I'm fishing in my pocket f[A]or a light
[B]And I'm standin' on the corner on a Saturday night
(Harmonica solo, same chords)
[E]I seen pigeons flap their filthy wings
[G#m]To a freezing sunset in the west
[C#m]Rain shit down from their haunted perch
[A]In the bells above St. Someone's church
[G#m]The Sexton drinks and dreams in bed
[A]One eye in a line of light
[B]Startled by a ghost he screams his dead wife's name into the night
[E]Which echoes down a cobbled hall
[G#m]Bounces off a gray stone floor
[C#m]Fired down a line of stairs
[A]Where it's silenced by a door
[G#m]Beyond which I am leaning, leaning
[A]Watching cars and dreaming
[B]As steam rose 'round my body like my soul up to the stars
[E]I guess the devil's had his way with town
[G#m]Now that Willie is in the ground
[C#m]And I guess the devil made me this
[A]When he gave me no one I can't resist
[G#m]I got the bill today
[A]Wrote back I moved away
[B]They called me up to say they know that I'm still here
[E]So on the 5th day of the 5th month
[G#m]At 5 o'clock in the dawn
[C#m]I rolled myself in a T-O-P
[A]And jumped out on Highway One
[G#m]With a 400 engine hot as a cremation coffin
[A]And a tailgate bangin' like an airplane wing
[B]I was rollin' on the highway doing it my way whistling "Someday" and singing this song
(Repeat chords through end, as Serge sings "I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes...")
