Washington Square Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em][Am]
[Em]On

[Verse 1]
her biggest wall she hung Warhol
And wishes she had never used
The last magazine where she was seen
[Am]Was [Em]sold to the self -abused
This lovely [D]one holds [Am]an empty [Em]gun
And [C]swears it was done on a [Am]dare
[G]Her only [D]fear is [Am]that her [Em]career
Is [C]damaged beyond re[Am]pair
Down on Washington Square
[Em][Am][Em]
Summer Breeze
blows the shades off the window
[Am]She [Em]stares on to Seventh Avenue
She sees a Rastafar[Am]i out
[Em]on the corne[Am]r
[Em]I'm trying to sell his
[Am]point [Em]of view
[G]Without affec[D]tion,
[Am]she tells her connec[Em]tion
I need a [C]fix, this just isn't [Am]fair
And [G]he takes a [D]walk around
[Am]the bloc[Em]k
And [C]disappears into thin [Am]air
Into Washington [Em]Square[Am][Em][D]
I sit [Em]here all alone
Won[D]dering [Em]when they will come[E]
[Em]She reads every page
of Vogue magazine,
studies every single book.
She came on the [Am]scene be
[Em]hind Amphetamine
and left before they'd finished the book.
[G]Mirror, mir[D]ror on [Am]the wall[Em],
does [C]this mean you no [Em]longer care?
[Am]You used[G] to tell me th[D]at
[Am]I was the on[Em]e,
but [C]now that you're no longer [Am]here,
I stand and stare out on Washington
[Em]Square.[Am][Em][D][Em]
[D][E]
[Em]She found her bag of
troubles and trick[Am]s
[Em]Down on the commerce avenue
all the muggers and the whores
and the thieves
told her your dreams will come true [G]janine [D]said
she set [Am]old man free a[Em]t the chelsea
[C]just before he disappeared
[Am]she [G]takes a walk[D] around
[Am]the bloc[Em]k
but her [C]vision is not getting [Am]clear[D]
[Em][Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em]
I saw an [Am]art s[Em]how,
I saw Jaco [Am]Pastore [Em]walking acros[Am]s the [Em]street
Darryl [Am]mumbled [Em]as he
was merrily stumbling
[Am]for [Em]somebody he's gotta meet
Guess [Am]that lovely [Em]one,
with [Am]an empty [Em]gun,
[Am]did [Em]it all in [Am]a dare
[Em]Came on the [Am]scene be[Em]hind
infetting and theft and coercion
Was [Am]Barrett [Em]even there?
This is due [Am]to s[Em]ummer thunder
That's not Purple Rain
That's June in [Am]Califor[Em]nia
And New York City again you
