[D] [Bm]
[D] That phantom [Bm] silhouette implied
Strange [D] fruit-riding Roman [A] airborne and hotter than hell
[G] Is this the king's last man [E] I've spotted?
[Em] [D] And I stood there [Bm] beside my companion
[D] Scratching a rumor he had [Bm] heard
[D] Do you have a gun?
And [Am] I said, you mean this [B] one?
[G] Straight down the barrel was [E] his word
And [D] I smelled the fumes [Bm] he inhaled swiftly
[Am] Each [D] word was [Bm] hinged upon his choke
[D] Like curds who creep in up [G] a snake [Am]-shell discreetly
[G] Forever bending [E] as he broke
[D] And I heard the jangling [Bm] keys of Graceland
[D] Ring from his teeth, stained [Bm] brown from coat
Drunk [D] and stumbling like [Am] a man of distinction
[G] They clamored, shaking [E] as he spoke
Of [D] troves of pilgrims [Bm] at his doorway
[D] Of Reagan, Carter, [Bm] Clinton, Gore
Fortunes [D] offered [Am] then refused routinely
[G] This ain't no damn auction [E] house of sore
[D] Black males standing around [Bm] six foot something
[D] Ebbed through the waves of [Bm] small-town flight
A [D] minute coldly from [Am] southern affection
[G] Collide secretly [E] in the night
[D] Forget those who [Bm] trespassed against us
[D] Begins the dead [Bm] intruder's plea
Into [D] the very [Am] muzzles I'd want to spit into
[G] He gives the last words [E] he will speak
[D] For that broken glass [Bm] supports forced entry
[D] Reminds his lawyer [Bm] through the phone
What [D] southern judge do you [Am] know comforting gently
[E] [G] Jails white men who defend [E] their home
While [D] no soul was present [Bm] for the moment
His [D] bombed-out brick walls [Bm] finally fell
[D] Yeah, lying face down [Am] in the throes of atonement
[G] He checks out of the hard-to [E]-break hotel
