Chords for Shawn Phillips - Song for Mr. C

_ Saturday morning, [G#] yeah, [G#m] coming late
[F#] Just to find that you were there
Just to look at your long brown [B] hair
Dream a dream out in the [A#m] hall
Was that my name that's just been [G#] called?
I don't know, it could be
Have you got something to tell on me?
If you got something to tell on [G] me, babe
You better be [F] good
Even though you hate me so much
And still coming back like [C] you knew I would
[F] You can't believe what I've been [E] through
These [Bm] last few [A] months
It's very difficult to tell the difference
Between the drums and the down on [C#m] the dumps
Only one thing I can say to you
[C#] Even if you don't believe it's [B] true, it's _ true _ _ _ _
[A] _ It's my turn [F#m] now to find [E] out where we're going, [A] babe
It's my [G] turn now to [F#m] find out where you've been
_ It's my turn [F#] now to lead the [B] new direction
[A] _ It's your [G] turn now to cast off [B] all your fear
[A] Fa la de ya, fa la de [G#] ya la
[G#m] How do you plead?
[F#] _ You don't have to plead
For anything that you really [B] need
Plead at mercy [A#m] when the wind starts blowing hard
[G#] In this cardboard world we're living in
It ain't forgotten out in the yard
Out in the yard where the air is [Gm] cold
And ain't no leaves to fall
[F] These are looking hard at the ground for something
Something that won't show up
I [C] keep a looking back over my shoulder
[B] Couple of good [Bm] friends going by
[A]
Pour some wine over their fire
Don't let the tears stay in your [C#m] eyes
He's not gone so very far
I know he's very near
[B]
Cause every time I call his name
I know that he can _ [F#] _
_ [A] hear
It's my turn [F#] now to find [E] out where we're going
[A] _ It's my turn now to find out [E] where you've been, [A] baby
It's my turn [F#m] now to lead the new [A] direction
It's [G] your turn now to cast off [E] all your sin
[A] Hey Mr.
Robert, don't you tell me no [G#m] lies
I don't mind you being vain
[F#] Pick up the phone in your whitewash house
Hear from that same refrain
[B] Three to five more years is all you [A#m] got
For you to do your nasty thing
[G#] Big in rain, suffering pain
Telling everybody that it's in his name
His name, you's name, what are [Gm] you telling me?
I don't believe your [F] tales
Too many people in this world don't like being snails
If you're gonna do it, better get it [E] together
Better go and [Em] make the change
[D] Do it right now, do it while it's warm
Do it while it's there within your [C#m] range
It won't be so very hard
You better have no fear
[B] Cause every time you get it done
It'll be so _
_ [A] clear
It's my [G] turn [F#m] now to find [E] out where we're going
[A] It's my [G] turn now to find [E] out where you've been
[A] _ It's my [G] turn [F#m] now to keep the new [A] direction
_ [G] Your turn [F#m] now to cast off all your [A] fears
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F#] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
