[Verse 1]
A E D F#m F#
where will you go when this day is over
Bm E A E E7
a gambler's purse lays on the road
F#m
straight to your door
B E
snakes have gone crazy tonight
Em Bm E E7
winding their way out of sight
[Verse 2]
A E D F#m F#
a laugh, a joke a sentiment wasted
Bm E A E E7
seasons of strangers they've come and gone
F#m
doldrums are pounding,
B E
cheapskates are clowning this town
Em Bm E E7
who could disown themselves now
[Verse 3]
A E D F#m F#
engineer, slow down this old train
Bm E A E E7
cinders and chaff laugh at the moon
F#m
night birds will cackle
B E
rotting like apples on trees
Em Bm E B7
sending their dead melodies...to me
