Hey Rosetta! – Alcatraz (Guitar)

C                  G
i stood helpless to the threat 

   Em         F       C
of a heavy lid i'll never lift 

C                  G
and when the gavel hit the desk 

Em
metal shut around me 

F            C
marshals at my wrist 

C                  G
led me down the longest hall 

Em
down the darkest throat 

   F           C
of the hardest animal 

C                  G
and just listen to the wind

           Em
wailing like the wounded

        F         C
over the lincoln highway bridge 

C                  G
down in the valley or in the street

            Em
don’t let the ad men fool you 

     F             C
you got everything you need 

C                  G
out in your sheets beside your love 

Em
recognize the instant 

     F       C
memorize the pose 

C
despite all the hatred i held for you

C 
despite all the violence i could do 

G           Em     F      C
just beyond, there is love 

C
and when i'm alone with only my thoughts 

C
and as you might know, i'm alone a lot 

G      Em        F       C
it's the love i'm thinking of 

C               G
out in that city like a dream 

                 Em
see the breezes go around you 

     F          C
see the long grasses yield 

C                  G
be out there exiting the bars 

                  Em
at the finest hour of morning 

    F             C
nearly lost, but not 

C                  G
be warm and steady in the wind 

                Em
and your soft, imperfect body 

F       C
do not cover it
