Tuning: Standard
[Verse 1]
Black Gfaces pressed aG7gainst the glass
Where Crain has pressed its wGeight
GWind blown scarves in G7top down cars
All Ashare one western Dtrait
CSadness Dleaks through Gtear-stained cheeks
From B7winos to dime-store CJews
ProbaCbly don't C/Bknow they Ggave me
These D7late John Garfield Gblues
[Verse 2]
GMidnight fell on G7Franklin Street
And the Clamppost bulbs were brGoke
For the Glife of me, I G7could not see
But I Aheard a brand new Djoke
Two Cmen were Dstanding uGpon a bridge
One B7jumped and screamed you Close
And just Cleft the C/Bodd man Gholding
Those D7late John Garfield Gblues
[Bridge]
DOld man sleeps with his conscience at night
GYoung kid sleeps with his dreams
While the Amentally ill sit perfectly still
And live through life's in-betD7weens
[Verse 3]
I'm Ggoing away to the G7last resort
In a Cweek or two real Gsoon
Where the Gfish don't bite but G7once a night
By the Acold light of the Dmoon
The Chorses Dscream, the Gnightmares dream
And the B7dead men all wear Cshoes
'Cause CeveryC/Bbody's Gdancin'
Those D7late John Garfield GbluCuuuDuuuuGuuDueGs
[Outro]
