Formula, Cola, Dollar Draft
Marah
EThere was a time when I dG#midn't talk
C#mI'd look away, or I'd shArug it off
G#mTurn it out or tuArn it off
Or say something shBort and soft
EOut of school I took a G#mJ-O-B
C#mMakin' buttons in a fAactory
G#mThinking what does life got iAn for me?
And I didn't waBnna know
EIn a city full of doG#muble deals
C#mMy boss would yawn and roll back oAn his heels
G#mLike anyone could cAop a feel of laBdy luck
EI was made with my brG#mother Bill
C#mDrinking Muskie Moons on top of LaAurel Hill
G#mIt's funny now I'd cheek a poiAson pill to soBber up
EAnd no two-bit claim of G#mI'm all right
C#mIs gonna turn aroAund and make it right
G#mSo I'm fishing in my pocket fAor a light
BAnd I'm standin' on the corner on a Saturday night
(Harmonica solo, same chords)
EI seen pigeons flap their filthy wings
G#mTo a freezing sunset in the west
C#mRain shit down from their haunted perch
AIn the bells above St. Someone's church
G#mThe Sexton drinks and dreams in bed
AOne eye in a line of light
BStartled by a ghost he screams his dead wife's name into the night
EWhich echoes down a cobbled hall
G#mBounces off a gray stone floor
C#mFired down a line of stairs
AWhere it's silenced by a door
G#mBeyond which I am leaning, leaning
AWatching cars and dreaming
BAs steam rose 'round my body like my soul up to the stars
EI guess the devil's had his way with town
G#mNow that Willie is in the ground
C#mAnd I guess the devil made me this
AWhen he gave me no one I can't resist
G#mI got the bill today
AWrote back I moved away
BThey called me up to say they know that I'm still here
ESo on the 5th day of the 5th month 
G#mAt 5 o'clock in the dawn
C#mI rolled myself in a T-O-P 
AAnd jumped out on Highway One
G#mWith a 400 engine hot as a cremation coffin
AAnd a tailgate bangin' like an airplane wing
BI was rollin' on the highway doing it my way whistling "Someday" and singing this song
(Repeat chords through end, as Serge sings "I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes...")

G#m

C#m

Formula, Cola, Dollar Draft

Marah

E G#m

There was a time when I didn't talk

C#m A

I'd look away, or I'd shrug it off

G#m A

Turn it out or turn it off

Or say something short and soft

E G#m

Out of school I took a J-O-B

C#m A

Makin' buttons in a factory

G#m A

Thinking what does life got in for me?

And I didn't wanna know

E G#m

In a city full of double deals

C#m A

My boss would yawn and roll back on his heels

G#m A B

Like anyone could cop a feel of lady luck

E G#m

I was made with my brother Bill

C#m A

Drinking Muskie Moons on top of Laurel Hill

G#m A B

It's funny now I'd cheek a poison pill to sober up

E G#m

And no two-bit claim of I'm all right

C#m A

Is gonna turn around and make it right

G#m A

So I'm fishing in my pocket for a light

And I'm standin' on the corner on a Saturday night

(Harmonica solo, same chords)

I seen pigeons flap their filthy wings

G#m

To a freezing sunset in the west

C#m

Rain shit down from their haunted perch

In the bells above St. Someone's church

G#m

The Sexton drinks and dreams in bed

One eye in a line of light

Startled by a ghost he screams his dead wife's name into the night

Which echoes down a cobbled hall

G#m

Bounces off a gray stone floor

C#m

Fired down a line of stairs

Where it's silenced by a door

G#m

Beyond which I am leaning, leaning

Watching cars and dreaming

As steam rose 'round my body like my soul up to the stars

I guess the devil's had his way with town

G#m

Now that Willie is in the ground

C#m

And I guess the devil made me this

When he gave me no one I can't resist

G#m

I got the bill today

Wrote back I moved away

They called me up to say they know that I'm still here

So on the 5th day of the 5th month

G#m

At 5 o'clock in the dawn

C#m

I rolled myself in a T-O-P

And jumped out on Highway One

G#m

With a 400 engine hot as a cremation coffin

And a tailgate bangin' like an airplane wing

I was rollin' on the highway doing it my way whistling "Someday" and singing this song

(Repeat chords through end, as Serge sings "I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes...")
