The small money's on Harlow, the wind is in the street, [G]
[A] the shadow boys [D] are breaking all the law.
[G]
[F#m] Near East of East St.
Louis, the wind is making speeches, [Bm]
[B] the rain is sounding [A] like a round of applause.
[D] Napoleon is weeping in the carnival saloon, [G] his invisible [D] [A]
[D] fiancé's in the mirror.

[D] Oh, it's time, [G] time, [D] [B] time that you [D] love.

And things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl.
[G] And the boys just [A] dive off their cars and they splash [D] into the street.
[G] [D] And when she's on a roll, she pulls a razor from her boot.
[G] [B] And [D] a thousand pigeons flock [A] around her feet.
[D] So [A] I put a candle in the window and I [D] kiss it on my lips.
[G] [A] As the dish outside the window [D] fills with rain.
[G] [A] Just like a sailor [D] with the weeds in your heart.
[Bm]
[B] [Bm] Pay the fiddler off till I hit town [A] again.
