Marc Cohn - My Great Escape chords
Start Jamming...
Kicking [Gb] stones down by the gypsy shacks
[A] Along the [Gbm] wrong side of the [E] tracks
Stepping [Gb] over all the cracks
[A]
Cross my fingers [Gbm] too
[E]
Wishing [Gbm] on that lucky day
[A] When I finally make [Gbm] my [Dbm] getaway
[E]
Won't be [Gbm] nothing left to say, no [A] no
Only one thing left to [Gbm] do
[E] [A] Just to run [E] through the valleys
And down through the woods
[A] [E] Out in the alleys, past the old neighborhoods
And I know I got so far to travel
And this power is late
[A] But it's [E] out of the darkness
When I make [A] my [B]
great [E] escape
When I make [A]
my [B] great [E] escape
He's [Eb]
traveling down [Ab] the road [Eb] tonight
[Ab] His heart is [G] heavy, [Fm] but his load [Bb] is light
[Eb]
Fakes to the left and [Ab] he moves to [Fm] the right
[F] On a lonely [Bb] road at night
He [Ab] moves to the [Eb] right
And he drops a penny into a [Ab] wishing well
[Eb] [Ab] [Eb] Nobody hears him as [Fm] far as [Bb] he can tell
He sees a [Eb] thousand other wishing [Eb]
[Fm] lying there
He rightly wonders [Bb] if the gods will care
If the [Ab] gods are gonna care
[Eb]
[Ab]
So he runs [Eb] through the valley
[Ab] And on [Eb] through the woods
[Ab] Down [Eb] in the alleys, [Ab] past the old [Eb] neighborhoods
And he's [Ab] so [Eb] far to travel
And he's out of sleep
[Ab] But it's out of [Eb] the darkness
When he makes [Ab] his [Bb] great [Eb] escape
[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Ab] [Eb] [Bb]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb] When he makes [Ab] his [Bb] great [Eb] escape
When he makes [Ab] his [Bb] great escape
[Eb] [Ab]
