[D] [G] [D] [G] [A]
[D] The last time I saw you was down [G] at the Greeks
[D] There was whiskey and sundae [G] and tears in [D] her cheeks
You sang me a song that was pure [A] as the breeze
And I wrote it in a glen of hay
I sat for a while at [G] the Crescent Vineyard
Where [D] young lovers would meet when the flowers were in bloom
I heard the men coming [G] from the fire at Shin-Rom
[A] Their hearts into prairie [D] wherever they go
Take my hand and dry [G] your [A] tears, babe
Take [D] my hand and get [G] your fears, [A] babe
It's [D] not Jane, it's not [G] my son
[A] Or [D] Dave Archon, [G] [A] John Henley and the [D] useless
I [G] [A] [D] sat for a while by the Gap in [G] the Wolf
[D] Found a rusty tin can [G] and an old hurdy-go
[D] With the cards been dealt and the [G] rosary called
[D] And a fritter [G] plate shined [A] through the heart
And the next time I see [G] you we're down at the Greeks
[D] There'll be whiskey and sundae and tears in her cheeks
For a stupid little elf and it's [G] useless to fall
[D] Found a rusty [G] tin can [A] and an old [D] hurdy-go
[G] Take [D] [G] [A] [D] [G]
[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D] [G] [D] [G]
[D] [G] [A] [D] my hand and [G] dry your [D] tears, [A] babe
[D] Take my hand and get [G] your fears, [A] babe
It's not [D] Jane, it's not [G] my son
[A] Or [D] Dave [G] Archon, John [A] Henley and [D] the useless
So I watched as [G] day was [A] dawning
Where small [D] birds sang and [G] leaves were [A] falling
Where we [D] would swash the [G] robots [A] landing
[D] On the bright [G] [A] majestic shining [D] land
[G] [A] [D] [G] [D]
[Em] [D]
