***MY BLUE HEAVEN - written by Philip Chevron and Darryl Hunt
from the album "Peace And Love"
My Blue Heaven - As performed by The Pogues
INTRO: C   F   G(4x)
CAlligators snap at your ankles
And Fbranches snap at your Gbrain
If I Cever get through this swamp alive
I'll Fnevermore pray for Grain
CThis must be the place, and still
SomeFhow it don't seem Gright
CThat something in the moon
Could change these Fendless days
To Glonely nights
I take a stroll down by the sea
And walk along the pier
Then I slip and hit my head
Now's the time to fear
See the surface, see the rocks
See my past fly swiftly by
I feel the water in my lungs
And wake up screaming for my life
CIn my blue heaven
There's a Fbottle of PontcheGtrain
CChalmette by moonlight
To Ftake away the Gpain
CCard sharks and Gblue harps
And Fdolphins who can Gleap
CIn my Blue Heaven
Where FI can laugh
And GI can weep
Black shapes zip into corners
The big lads start to crawl
To holes of their own making
In the cracks within the wall
Snakes and rats and spiders
I know that they're still there
I pray to God that I may sleep
Without a hope, without a care
In my blue heaven
There's a bottle of Pontchetrain
Chalmette by moonlight
To take away the pain
Felines and sea lions
And rain on the beach
In my Blue Heaven
With angels who are out of reach
In my blue heaven
There's a bottle of Pontchetrain
Chalmette by moonlight
To take away the pain
Nightingales sing
And the bells they will ring
In my Blue Heaven
The Bells of Hell
Go ding-A-ling-A-ling
C   F   C   G   C   F   C   G   C(repeated to fade out)
