[Verse 1]
G G7 Black faces pressed against the glass C G Where rain has pressed its weight G G7 Wind blown scarves in top down cars A D All share one western trait C D G Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks B7 C From winos to dime-store Jews C C/B G Probably don't know they gave me D7 G These late John Garfield blues
[Verse 2]
G G7 Midnight fell on Franklin Street C G And the lamppost bulbs were broke G G7 For the life of me, I could not see A D But I heard a brand new joke C D G Two men were standing upon a bridge B7 C One jumped and screamed you lose C C/B G And just left the odd man holding D7 G Those late John Garfield blues
[Bridge]
D Old man sleeps with his conscience at night G Young kid sleeps with his dreams A While the mentally ill sit perfectly still D7 And live through life's in-betweens
[Verse 3]
G G7 I'm going away to the last resort C G In a week or two real soon G G7 Where the fish don't bite but once a night A D By the cold light of the moon C D G The horses scream, the nightmares dream B7 C And the dead men all wear shoes C C/B G 'Cause everybody's dancin' D7 G C D G D G Those late John Garfield bluuuuuuuuuuues
