CAPO 2
INTRO: D Em G A7 D 2x
D Em
Baby hit the back door breathin’ real heavy
G A7 D
Said the boys in the alley wouldn’t leave her alone
D Em
Mama did her make-up in a terrible hurry
A7 G D
She finally got ready but the boys were gone
Em F#m
Mama don’t you worry, night’s approachin’
G A7 D
There’s a hole in heaven where some sin slips through
D Em
Just close your eyes and dream real steady
A7 G D
Maybe just a little will spill on you
D G Em F#m
The Dark don’t lie
D
The Dreams come true
G Em D
Could be a few will see you through
D Em
Old lady rose, lookin’ down her nose
G A7 D
At lonely miss lily hiding in the hall
D Em
Lily’s just praying for the trial to be over
A7 G D
Lady rose just waiting for the ax to fall
Em F#m
Show me off on the way to town
G A7 D
The sky’s still shiny and the earth’s still brown
D Em
Tell the judge I’m ready for the vases
A7 G D
Gonna dance in their faces when the guitar sounds
D G Em F#m
It won’t be long
D
I'll be long gone
G Em D
I been leaning toward the shadows all along
SOLO BREAK:
D Em F#m G D 2x
Em F#m G D
D Em F#m G D
D Em
Those in the know say so it goes
G A7 D
You plan on reapin’, you better sow
D Em
You plan on sleepin, You better keep movin’
A7 G D
Sleepin’ ain’t allowed around here you know
Em F#m
Tell me please when the rollings over
G A7 D
Me and my baby gonna have some fun
D Em
Bury our backs in a bed of clover
A7 G D
Smile in style while the sun goes down
D G Em F#m
The Snake eyes cry,
D
Boxcars sigh
G Em D
Seven’s stuck in the middle just wonderin’ why
Em F#m
The Dark don’t lie
D
The Dreams come true
G Em D
All it takes is one or two
G Em D
Maybe just a few will see you through
G Em D
Maybe just a few will see you through
