VERSE:  0:24- 1:09
A             D                               C
"Joliet," she says, "is the darkest part of a man..."
     G
It's angry and slick
A                  D                           C
into those letters writes through herself each time
         G
that she thinks of him
A                  D                     C
Trips her way down south, into mystery's mouth
       G
and he follows her there
A                     D                          C
It's what she doesn't say that makes you want to stay
           G
and try to comfort her
Chorus:  1:10- 1:32
  D             C        B
  *             *        *
I talked to the cousins of people who knew you
  D             C               B
  *             *               *
I asked them the questions they expected to hear, like
D      C           B
*      *           *
maybe a killing went down in your town
A
maybe it's the prison or the birth of barbed wire

Verse:  1:45- 2:30
A             D                               C
"Joliet," she says, "is the darkest part of a man..."
                 G
It's shaped like liberty's bell
A                       D                             C
it's cracked and common law, stretched out over it's flaws
             G
just like an ink-less well
A                    D                         C
The hanging judge in town records her comments down
              G
she saves the crowd the truth
    A                D                       C
and deals with it herself, fills that hollow well,
             G
with nothing left to prove
Chorus:  2:31- 2:53
  D            C            B
  *            *            *
I talked to the mountains and streams that pushed through there
  D            C             B
  *            *             *
I talked to the trees that had no fruit to bear
D                 C        B
*                 *        *
to the colorless people that sat there beneath her
A
curled up and stared
