Intro
A (play the lowest note of the chord first then strum...just listen
to the record.)
A E
I wake up and look upon your painted eyelids
F# E
The world is your oyster and the trash bags are your kids
A E
The ceiling is invisible there's a bird sinkin thru the sky
F# E
And every hour that passes is teachin me how to cry
D F A F#
Cuz it's lonely here in the ugly part of town
B E
The buildings are all vacant and the telephones are down
A E
There's a police siren singing like a tiger with no skin
F# E
The sewer drain is glowing and I don't know what state I'm in
A E
And the river is on fire there's chemicals and debris
F# E
And all the roads are blocked off they're just too hard to see
D F A F#
So cancel my appointments and set up a whole new show
B E
Cuz I'm in need of a good hot meal and a life to call my own
(At this point Harmonica solo plays over chord progression A-E-F#-E)
A E
So get me a plate of money get me a blanket and a chair
F# E
The limitations are limitless they're floating thru the air
D F A F#
Cuz it's real and it's true the things I see in you
B E
And there's nothin I wouldn't talk about with the clearest dream
A
that ever drifted by
Play A until fade out
That's it. You should get the basic idea. Just listen to the record for the
strumming pattern. Have fun.
