 CF
 Back in the old folky days
 AmEmD
 The air was magic when we played
 CF
 The riverboat was rockin' in the rain
 AmEmD
 Midnight was the time for the raid
 G
 Oh, Isabela, proud Isabela
 Am
 They tore you down and plowed you under
 BmC
 You're only real with your make-up on
 GD
 How could I see you and stay too long
 CF
 All along the Navajo Trail
 AmEmD
 Burn-outs stub their toes on garbage pails.
 CF
 Waitresses are cryin' in the rain
 AmEmD
 Will their boyfriends pass this way again
 G
 Oh, Mother Goose, she's on the skids
 Am
 Sure ain't happy, neither are the kids
 BmC
 She needs someone that she can scream at
 GD
 And I'm such a heel for makin' her feel so bad
 CF
 I guess I'll call it sickness gone
 AmEmD
 It's hard to say the meaning of this song
 CF
 An ambulance can only go so fast
 AmEmD
 It's easy to get buried in the past
 CFAmEmD
 When you try to make a good thing last 
Harmonica: G C G C Am G C G C Am
 G
 I saw today in the entertainment section
 Am
 There's room at the top for private detection
 BmC
 To Mom and Dad this just doesn't matter
 GD
 But it's either that or pay off the kidnapper
 CF
 So all you critics sit alone
 AmEmD
 You're no better than me for what you've shown
 CF
 With your stomach pump and your hook and ladder dreams
Am Em D We could get
together for some scenes
Harmonica: G C G C Am G C G C Am G
Well, I'm up in T.O. keepin' jive alive
And out on the corner it's half past five
But the subways are empty
And so are the cafes
Except for the Farmer's Market
And I still can hear him say
You're all just pissin' in the wind
You don't know it but you are
And there ain't nothin' like a friend
Who can tell you you're just pissin' in the wind
I never knew a man could tell so many lies
He had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he's talking to
Cause I know it ain't me, and hope it isn't you


Am Bm C D Em F G
