Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

- intro and verse chords

The church is blowing a sad windblown “Kathleen”

On the bells of the skid row slums

I wake up goopy and woebegone

At the Mars Hotel on 4th and Howard

Do you remember dancing girls in St. Louis

Stan Getz on the hi-fi under midnight kitchen bulbs

We all agree it’s too big to keep up with

That we’re surrounded by life – that we’ll

Never understand it

The great magical city of the Gandharvas

 Of San Francis co

Where is the writer who could bring you

Sobbing through the bed fucking bed cribs

Of the moon to see it all even unto

Some robbery of the heart at dawn

When no one cares

I’m lost among strange agitators of the heart

We center it all by swigging from the bottle

All for two sticks of loco weed

That grows by itself in Texas because god wanted it

The great magical city of the Gandharvas

 Of San Francis co

Freak out on harmonica between the verses and at the end.
