Late John Garfield Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Black [G]faces pressed against the glass
Where [C]rain has pressed
[G]it's weight
Wind blown scarves in top down cars
All [A]share one western [D]trait

[Verse 2]
[C]Sadness [D]leaks through tear-s
[G]tained cheeks
cheeks
[B]From winos to dime-store [C]Jews
Probably don't [Bm]know
[D]they give me[G]
[D]These late John Garfield [G]blues

[Verse 3]
[G]Midnight fell on Franklin Street
And the [C]lamppost bulbs [G]were broke
For the life of me, I could not see
But I [A]heard a brand new [D]joke

[Verse 4]
[C]Two men [D]were standing [G]upon a bridge
One [B]jumped and screamed you [C]lose
And just left the [Bm]odd [D]man [G]holding
Those [D]late John [G]Garfield blues

[Verse 5]
[G]An [D]old man sleeps with his
conscience at night
[G]Young kids sleep with their dreams
While the [A]mentally ill sit perfectly still
And live through life's in-betweens

[Verse 6]
[D]I'm I'm [G]going away to the last resort
In a [C]week or two, real [G]soon
Where the fish don't bite
but once a night
By the [A]cold light of [D]the moon

[Verse 7]
[C]The horses [D]scream [G]the nightmares dream
And the [B]dead men all wear [C]shoes
'Cause every[Bm]body's [G]dancin'
Those [D]late John Garfield [G]blues

[Outro 1]
[C][D][G]
