C
Mary, this station is playing every sad song

Am
I remember like we were alive

C
I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls

Am
In a prison cell, where we spent those nights

C
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her

Am
Licking young boys blood from her claws

C
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew

Am
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb

F                      G
     My heart's like a wound

E                    B    C#m
Have you seen my hands?

                      B   E
Just look at 'em shake

                                B   C#m
And the song just keeps on repeating

                   B   E
Drop the needle again

                          B   C#m
And I dance with your ghost

                      B     A
but that ain't the way

A                                     B
I can't move on and I can't stay the same

C#m     A   E
Heeeeyyyy

B
Turn the record over

C#m   A   E
Heeeyyyyy

   B
I'll see you on the flip side

E          B       C#m             A
There you go and turn the key and engine over

E       B
Let her go

  C#m          A
Let somebody else lay at her feet

C                                                Am
I was crawling around in my head in the haze of a trance.

           C                          Am                     F
Rico said, "I'ma turn you onto a sound, cool out your head.

                              G
This is the sound from Camden town."

C
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,

 Am
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,

 C
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,

 Am
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluesbeat,

 F                               G
Tellin' me he's only looking for fun.

Am                        G                    F
This was the sound of the very last gang in town.

               C                                      F
As heard by my wild young heart, like directions on a cold dark night,

        C              F
Sayin', 'Let it out... You're doin' all right.'

                      C
And I heard it in his chain gang soul.

                   F
It wasn't just the same sad song.

        C                                   F
Saying, 'Let it out, you're doing all right.'

                  Em                     F        G           C
And I'm doing all right, are you doin' all right?

        Am                              E
Well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.

            Am                                          Fmaj7/C
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.

        Am                                 E
When we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,

        Am                                        Fmaj7/C
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.

          Am            Fmaj7/C          C          G
See these chains I been hearing now for most of my life,

      Am            Fmaj7/C          C          G
These chains I been hearing now for most of my life.

                 C                           Fmaj7/C
