#Martin's Song
#The Jayhawks
#
#
#from "Hollywood Town Hall" (American Recordings, 1992)
#transcribed by John Davidson and someone else who deserves
#credit...can't remember who that was...
#
#Intro
#
#G Am D Am x2
#
#Verse 1
#
[G]He's only [Am]six years old, [D]that old Killer [G]died.
[G]Put him down in a [Am]great big hole, [D]I'm filling up all the [G]time.
[G]See the buildings [Am]rise up to the sky, [D]Parking meters, traffic [G]cops.
[G]You'd best watch your [Am]record son, [D]they'll come an' lock y[G]ou up.
Chorus
[G]I've been working [D]all night.
[C]I go along into the [G]day.
[G]Ain't got much [D]money now.
[C]Got the time ahead, [Am7]I got the time ahead to [G]pay
Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill.
Don't talk to strangers, that's all you know.
Forty years of Sun death, the daylights still not over yet.
You should live to see evening fall, doctors working overtime.
Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building
blocks.
Repeat chorus
The above is the "Hollywood Town Hall" version, on "Blue Earth"
the second verse is slightly different, some of the lyrics are
difficult to make out but I think it is the following :-
Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill.
Don't talk to strangers, girl take the pill
Forty years of Sun death, acid rain is falling on my head.
Bush raids on the rise, doctors working overtime.
Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building
blocks.
