Me and my
buddy, we're from New York City, we got two hundred dollars, we want to rock

lookin' at two big spenders, why, the world don't know what me and Wayne might
do.
Our pa's
each own one of the World Trade Centers, for a kiss and a smile I'll give mine
all to you
C'mon baby,
take a seat on the fender, it's a long night, tell me, what else were you gonna
do?
Just me and
you, we could ...
Little

County man
tells me the same thing he don't work, and he don't get paid
Little
girl, you're so young and pretty, walk with me and you can have your way
Then we'll
leave this Darlington City for a ride down that Dixie Highway

Queen of

Take out a
full page ad in the trades to announce their arrival
And Mary

The Daily

hope"

F#m A E
I had a
job, I had a girl, I had something goin', mister, in this world
I got laid
off down at the lumber yard, Our love went bad, times got hard
D E F#m
Now I work
down at the carwash, where all it ever does is rain
D E F#m E
Don’t you
feel like you’re a rider on a Downbound train
She just
say “Joe I gotta go, we had it once we ain’t got it anymore”
She packed
her back, left me behind she bought a ticket on the Central Line
Night as I
sleep, I hear that whistle whining, I feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel
like I’m a rider on a Downbound train.
Last night
I heard your voice, You were cryin’, cryin’, You were so alone
You said
your love had never died, You were waiting for me at home
Put on my
jacket, I ran through the woods, I ran till I though my chest would explode
There in
the clearing, beyond the highway, in the moonlight our wedding house shone
I rushed
through the yard I burst through the front door, My head pounding hard
Up the
stairs I climbed, the room was dark, our bed was empty then I heard that long
whistle whine
D A
And I
dropped to my knees hung my head and cried
Now I swing
a sledge hammer on a railroadgang knocking down them cross ties; working in the
rain
Now don’t it feel like you’re a rider on a Downbound train.
For You

F Am Bb C Dm
Princess
cards she sends me with her regards
Gm Dm
Bb C
oh bar-room
eyes shine vacancy to see her you gotta
look hard
Wounded
deep in battle I stand like some
soldier undaunted
Gm Dm Bb C Bb Am Gm
To her
Chesire smile I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted
Gm7 Bb C F Am
But you let
your blue walls get in the way of these facts
Bb C F Am
Honey get
your carpet baggers off my back
Bb
C F Am
You wouldnt
even give me time to cover my tracks
F C
You said
"Here's your mirror, and your ball and jacks"
F C F C
But they’re
not what I came for, and I’m sure you see that too
Dm
Am Gm7 Bb
I came for
you for you I came for you
C Dm
But you did
not need my urgency
I came for
you for you I came for you
But your
life was one long emergeny
Bb F Bb
F C
And your
cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free
Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting
weak,
reveal
yourself all now to me girl, while you’ve got the strenght to speak
Cause
they’re waiting for youat Bellevue with their oxygen masks,
But I could
give it all to you now if only you could ask,
And don’t
call for your surgeon even he says it’s too late
It’s not
your lungs this time, it’s your heart that holds your fate
Don’t give
me my money, honey, I don’t want it back
You and
your pony face and your Union Jack
Well take
your local jocker and teach him how to act
I swear I
was never that way even when I really cracked
Didn’t you
think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
Able to
leap tall buildings in a single bound?
And your
Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
You could
laugh and cry in a single sound.
F C Bb F
And your
strenght is devastating in the face of all these odds
C
Bb C
Remember
how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god?
F Am Bb C
Dm
Gm
Dm
Bb C
Remember
how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
And the
band played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
Gm Dm Bb C Bb
Am Gm
That
ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leech.
Bb
C
F Am
But that
medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
like a
little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
F C
We were
both hitchhickers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
of some
metal tempered angel on an alien, distant shore
So you,
left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
and it’s
not that nursery mouth I came back for,
It’s not
the way you’re stretched out on the floor
Cause I’ve
brocken all your windows and I’ve rammed through all your doors
And who am
I to ask you to lick my sores?
And you
sould know that’s true.....
Dm
Am Gm7 Bb
I came for
you for you I came for you
C Dm
But you did
not need my urgency
I came for
you for you I came for you
But your
life was one long emergeny

And your
cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free

Glory Days,
well they'll pass you by, Glory Days, in the wink of a young girls eye Glory
Days, Glory Days.
There’s a
girl that lives up the block back in the school she can turn all the boy’s
heads
Sometimes
on a Friday, I’ll stop by and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her
husband Bobby well they split up I guess it’s two years gone by now
We just sit
around talking about the old times, she says when she feels like crying
She starts
laughing thinking about
Glory Days,
well they'll pass you by, Glory Days, in the wink of a young girls eye Glory
Days, Glory Days.

but time
slips away and leaves you with nothing , Mister, but boring stories of
Glory days…

I took
month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold
your breath
I swear I
lost everything I ever loved or feared I was the cosmic kid
Well my
feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in
the stars
I swear I
found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
I hid in

Well
Frankie went in the army back in 1965
I got a
farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wife
But them

Frankie
came home in `68, and me, I took this job
Takin'
turns dancin' with Maria as the band Played "Night of the Johnstown
Flood"
I catch him
when he's strayin', teach him how to walk that line
Man turns
his back on his family he ain't no friend of mine
Well the
night was like any other, I got a call `bout quarter to nine
There was
trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line
There was a
kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head
There was a
girl cry'n' at a table and it was Frank, they said
Well I went
out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights
Well I
musta done one hundred and ten through Michigan county that night
It was out
at the crossroads, down `round Willow bank
Seen a
Buick with Ohio plates. Behind the wheel was Frank
Well I
chased him through them county roads
Till a sign
said "Canadian border five miles from here"
I pulled
over the side of the highway and watched his tail-lights disappear

Pushing that baby carriage at your feet
G A
I see that lonely ribbon in your hair

Tell me am
I the man for whom you put it there?
You never

Must be a
lonely life for a working girl

Little girl I wanna marry you

Oh yeah

Yes I do,
little girl I wanna marry you
Now honey,
I don’t wanna clip your wings
But a times
come when two people should think of these things
Havin’ a
home and a family,
Facin’ up
to their responsabilities.
They said
in the end true love prevails
But in the
end true love can’t be some fairy tale.
To say i’ll
make your dream come true would be wrong
But maybe
darling I could help them along.
Little girl
I wanna marry you
Oh yeah,
little girl I wanna marry you,
Yes I do!
Little girl I wanna marry you
G A
My daddy said right before he died
F#m Bm
That true
true love was just a lie
G A
He went to his grave a broken heart
G A
An
unfulfilled life, girl, makes a man hard
Oh darlin'
There’s
something happy and there’s something sad
‘Bout
wanting somebody, oh, so bad
I wear my
love darling, without shame
I’d be
proud if you would wear my name

I love to see your hair shining in the long
