[Intro]
D Bm x4
D Bm I'd seen the blood lanes of Antietam D Bm The shotgun shack in Tupelo D Am But a brick circumference left hollow by Sherman G Em Crumbling before me, how it moaned D Bm His shape swallows my recollection D Bm That phantom silhouette implied D Am Strange fruit rotting from an air morning hotter than hell G Em Is this the king's last man I've spied? D Bm I stood there beside my companion D Bm Scratching a rumor he had heard D Do you have a gun? Am What? He said, yeah, you mean this one? G Em Straight down the barrel was his word D Bm And I smelt the fumes he inhaled swiftly D Bm Each word was hinged upon his choke D Am Like kudzu creeping up a state tree discreetly G Em Forever bending as it broke D Bm And I heard the jangling keys of Graceland D Bm Ring from his teeth stained brown from coke D Am Drunk and stumbling like a man of distinction G Em They clamored shaking as he spoke D Bm Of droves of pilgrims at his doorway D Bm Of Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Gore D Am Fortunes offered them, refused routinely G Em This ain't no damn auction house he swore D Bm Black male standing around 6 foot something D Bm Ebbs through the waves of small town bias D Am A minute coldly from southern affection G Em Collides secretly into night D Bm Forgive those who trespass against us D Bm Begins the dead intruder's plea D Am Into the very muzzle I'd once bit into G Em He gives the last words he will speak D Bm That broken glass supports forced entry D Bm Reminds his lawyer through the phone D Am What southern judge do you know, comforting gently G Em Who jails white men who defend their home? D Bm Well, no souls were present for the moment D Bm His bombed out brick walls finally fell D Am Lying face down in the throes of atonement G Em Checked out of the Heartbreak Hotel
