Ron Pope – A Song For Tommy (Guitar)

Em
The joker rides the subway

                        G
Stealing glances to his left

       C
As the queen of diamonds sashays on

                       G
In a brand new vintage dress

       Bm
And he swears he can recall her

       C               G
From a hand he did not play

         G                                  C
But he's sure he probably don't know her at all

            G
So he looks away

       Em
He's a masochistic poet

                      G
He's an angel without wings

        C
He's an acrobat who gambles

                   G
'Til he loses everything

        Bm
She's a sycophantic jester

        C                               G
She is all the things he'd like to push away

                G                         C
But somehow she knows the corners of his soul

                    G
And makes him wanna stay

               C
And he sings, "Oh Aphrodite

         Em
Let your hair fall long

         G
I'll lay naked here beside you

                      Em
Whisper you a country song

                        C
That I heard out on the AM

                                Em
But I can't say I know all the words"

Em
The demon that's been chasing him

                      G
Has finally bowed its head

          C
And the sweet repose that comes with tasting freedom

                  G
Is not far away I swear

         Bm
When the answer to your prayers is hanging inches

          C                      G
From your outstretched trembling hands

        G                    C
That's the time to mine the diamonds on the inside

                           G
Let's just all breathe deep again
