Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Am (strings alone first two bars; w/arpeggiated guitar next two

bars; w/bass and drums next two bars and into verse)

Verse 1

  A Amtenement, a dirty street

  WaEmlked and worn by shoeless feet

  In sAmilence long and so complete

  Watched Cby a shivering sGun

Old eyes in a small child's face

Watching as the shadows race

Through walls and cracks that leave no trace

And daylight's brightness shun

Chorus

w/filtered vocal):

  Dm Em The days of Pearly SpAmencer

  Ahh..Dmahh Em the race is almost Amrun

Verse 2

Nose pressed hard on frosted glass

Gazing as the swollen mass

On concrete fields where grows no grass

Stumbles blindly on

Iron trees smother the air

But, withering, they stand and stare

Through eyes that neither know nor care

Where the grass has gone

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3

Pearly, where's your milk-white skin

What's that stubble on your chin

It's buried in the rotgut gin

You've played and lost, not won

You played a house that can't be beat

Now look, your head's bowed in defeat

You walked too far along the street

Where only rats can run

[repeat chorus; fade 2nd time]
