Standard (EADGBE)

My hands are wrapped in your raven hair

 In the faded picture on the back stair

 We were narrow, we were steady, trembling and ready

 To give it Hell in this rocky world

You said do I look like I could be a strong mother

 And raise the good side of a young daughter

 In the hotel Shangri-La let me tell you

 I've been thinking of her in this rocky world

Chicago is heavy, but I can't turn around

 I'm smuggling that whiskey, every flesh and pound

Michigan I worry, and Susie I'm sorry

 That I lost you out there in the rocky world

 Would you build me a building a chapel up there

 At the top of the hill in the still blue air

 Near the weather vane, by the track and train

 I'll be looking for you in the rocky world

She's turning twenty and out on the make

Pounding the blacktop with a habit to shake

 She's looking for a manger in the eyes of a stranger

Down on the streets of a rocky world

Jenny has religion she sings in a church

 She's made a decision to colour her hair

 The Black man cut the sugar cane she watches the rain

 In a building far from the rocky world

 Yeah I'll tell you something I'll never forget

 The sight of you in silhouette

 Outside Sault Ste. Marie you really threw me

 When you pulled me down to your rocky bed

 In a crowded room I stood there empty

Looking for salvation and glory be

 When a shot turned my head and I saw you instead

 Walk into my rocky world

Alright, there we go...Anybody else out there have more Lanois tunes to

share?
