Intro
C G F Am A Dm G C G G7
[Verse 1]
C G F Am A
where will you go when this day is over
Dm G C G G7
a gambler's purse lays on the road
Am
straight to your door
D G
snakes have gone crazy tonight
Gm Dm G G7
winding their way out of sight
[Verse 2]
C G F Am A
a laugh, a joke a sentiment wasted
Dm G C G G7
seasons of strangers they've come and gone
Am
doldrums are pounding,
D G
cheapskates are clowning this town
Gm Dm G G7
who could disown themselves now
[Verse 3]
C G F Am A
engineer, slow down this old train
Dm G C G G7
cinders and chaff laugh at the moon
Am
night birds will cackle
D G
rotting like apples on trees
Gm Dm G D7
sending their dead melodies...to me
