[Verse 1]

A D A

All my daydreams are disasters

A D A

She's the one, I think I love

A F#m D

Rivers burn and then run backwards

A D A

And for her, that's enough

A D A

They all come from New York City

A D A

And they woke me up at dawn

A F#m D

She walked with me to the fountain

A D A

She held onto my arm

[Chorus]

C'mon do what you did

Roll me under New Madrid

D E

Shake my baby and please bring her back

Death won't even be still

D Bm

Caroms over the landfill

D E A

Buries us all in its broken back

[Verse 2]

A D A

There's a man of conviction

A D A

And although he's getting old

A F#m D

Mr. Browning has a prediction

A D A

And we've all been told

A D A

So come on back to New York City

A D A

Roll your trucks in at dawn

A F#m D

Walk with me to the fountain

A D A

And hold onto my arm

[Chorus]

C'mon do what you did

D Bm

Roll me under New Madrid

D E

Shake my baby and please bring her back

'Cause death won't even be still

Caroms over the landfill

Buries us all in its broken back
