mewithoutYou – Mexican War Streets Revisited (Guitar)

Dm
Though by the path I lead The passing of time and the pouring of tea

Bb             F        C
Are all I've lately seen

Dm
Until our temporal bridge be burned Until our anchor stocks hold firm

Bb                               F             C
Where the hands of clocks don't turn, O my soul

Dm
May our lips remain discreet While your traps are beneath our feet--

        Bb               F         C
but how long before our tails are caught

              Dm
by our "free" thought?

Bb                  C      Bb
Sugar in the cane, candles low

Gm                F             Gm      F
Kettle low on the flame for the teapot? No

Bb                  C      Bb  Dm
Sugar in the cane, candles low

      F
On the Streets of Mexican Wars

                  Eb
I battle with the memory of a first fight

       F
In our contemptible youth, quoted White Nights

         Eb
Thinking I’d get rid of you, Waited with a stone in my hand

                              Bb
but you were right and Nature had another plan

                   Dm
Nature had another plan

Bb                  C       Bb
Sugar in the cane, candles low

       Gm       F              Gm          F
On the West End Bridge looking down at the Ohio

Bb                  C       Bb
Sugar in the cane, candles low

    Gm           F              Gm        F
You panic like a mouse when the lights go on

Bb                  Dm
Sugar in the cane, candles low
