-the alleys of austin Chords- by Michael Martin Murphey

_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ Out in the alleys of [E] Austin
_ _ [F#m] There's a song [E] on the side [D] of the wall
_ [A] _ _ [F] The bricks and the bottles [A] and the mongrel
_ _ Trying to make sense out [E] of it all
_ And [F#m] the moon looks all too [A] familiar
_ _ [F] And the kids say there ain't no [A] man in there _ _
[F] While the laid back baboon [A] by the light of the Texas moon
Is combing his [F#] [E] auburn hair _
[F#m] He's just combing [E] his [A] auburn hair _ _ _
Now out in [G#m] the [E] alleys of heaven _ _
_ [F#m] There's a funky [E] feeling [D] angel's drumming [A] chorus _ _
[F] While the preachers sit and get stoned in [A] their buicks _ _
Jesus Christ [G#m] rolls by [F#m] in [E] his Ford
And _ [F#] the clouds are like [E] the feathers [A] of sparrow _ _
[F] A thousand different [A] colors of gray _
It's [F] the hustle of the paradise bar
And the glory of [F#] hanging [E] out in space _
[F#] It's the glory of hanging [D] out [A] in space _ _
La, la, [F#m] la, [E] la, la _ _
[F#m] La, _ _ [D] [A] la, _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Dm] la, la, [A] la _ _
La, _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#]
la, la, la, [A] _ _ la
In the alleys of Austin [E] in heaven
_ _ The song they're playing is the [A] same
The _ jam session sounds like the gutters
_ As the muddy licks and sticks roll down [E] the drain
_ And the drain pipe she rolls out [A] to the river
_ [F] And the purd and alish flows out [A] to the sea
_ And [F] the sea waters rise up to [A] heaven
And [D] they rain down [E] the alleys of Austin
[A] And you and me _ _ _ _ _ _ _
