_ _ _ _ _ A gentleman, [Gm] a dirty screed, walked through all by shoeless feet.
[Cm] Inside its loft, so complete, [Eb] watched by a [Bb] shivering sun. _ _
[Cm] Old eyes and a small child's [Gm] face, watching as the shadows race [Cm] through walls and cracks
and leave no [Eb] trace in daylight's [Bb] bright vision.
A [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
day in the [Cm] pearly splendor, _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ the [Gm] _ _
race is [Cm] almost run. _ _ _
_ _ Nose pressed [Gm] hard on frosted glass, gazing as the swollen mass
[C] on concrete fields where grows no [Eb] grass, stumbles [Bb] blindly along.
_ _ [Cm] Iron trees smother the [Gm] air with a ray, they stand and stare [Cm] through eyes that neither know nor [Eb] care
where the [Gm] grass has [Bb] gone.
_ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ A day in the [Cm] pearly _ _ splendor, _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
the [Gm] _ _ race is [Cm] almost run.
_ _ _ _ _ Pearly wares, your milk white [Gm] skin, what's that stubble on your chin?
[Cm] It's buried in the rock I [Eb] chin, you played and [Bb] lost not one. _
[Cm] You play the house that can't be [Gm] beat now, look your head's bowed in defeat.
[Cm] You walk too far along the [Eb] street where only rats [Bb] and dogs.
A [Fm] day _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
in the [Cm] pearly splendor, _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ the [Gm] _ _
race is [Cm] almost run. _ _ _

_ _ _ _ tenement, a dirty [Gm] street, remember worn and shoulder's feet.
[Cm] Remember how you stood to [Fm] be the way your [Bb] life had gone.
_ _ [F] So pearly don't you [Cm] shed more [Gm] tears for those best forgotten [Cm] years.
Those tenements are _ [Fm] memories of where you've [Bb] risen _ from.
_ [Cm] _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ The days [Cm] of pearly _ spencer, _ _ _ _ uh [Fm] huh. _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ The race is [D] almost won.
