Long Shadow Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
Intro: Am
Well I[C]â??ll tell you[F] one thin[C]g that I [G]know
You donâ??t[C] face your demon[Am]s down
You got to [C]grab em jack
And [F]pin em to the g[G]round
The D[Am]evil may care, and maybe [C]God he wonâ??t
You be[Am]tter make sure you c[C]heck on the Doâ??s and th[G]e Donâ??ts
[C]Crawl up the Mou[Am]ntain
To reach where the Eagles fly
Su[C]re you can glimpse from the mo[Am]untaintop
Where the s[F]oul of the [C]muse might r[Dm]ise.
And if you [C]put it all t[Am]ogether
You w[C]onâ??t have to look[Am] around
[F]You k[C]now you [Dm]cast
A Long S[F]hadow On the [Am]Ground
T[C]hen one day [F]I could t[C]ell my [G]tracks
By the h[C]oles in the soles of my [Am]shoes
And [C]that the day I sa[F]id
Iâ??m gonna make the[G] news
And f[C]alling in the ga[Am]rden
Of d[C]ays so long [Am]ago
So[C]mewhere in the m[Am]emory
The [F]sun s[C]hines on you[Dm] boy
Pl[C]aying in the A[Am]rroyos
Where the American rivers flow
[C] [Am]
Do[F]wn to the D[C]elta R[Dm]oads
A m[C]an canâ??t think so[Am] long
His brain could well explode
Thereâ??s[C] trains running thru th[Am]e junctions
A [F]King comes d[C]own the r[Dm]oad
And if you p[C]ut it all t[Am]ogether
You [C]wonâ??t have to look[Am] around
[F]You [C]know you [Dm]cast
A Long S[F]hadow On the G[Am]round
Lis[G]ten to the Country- The Night Jar and the Bell
Li[G]sten to the Night Streamliner
Soun[G]ding like the wolves of Hell
He[C]ad for the w[Am]ater- the water of the cleansing spell
It was [C]always are de[Am]stination
On the [F]express of the [C]Neâ??er D[Dm]o Wells
And we [C]rock thru Madison [Am]City
And we [C]didnâ??t even know she was[Am] there
And when we [C]hit the Buffers in M[Am]emphis
And [F]Beale street didnâ??[C]t have no[Dm] prayer
I he[C]ar punks talk of a[Am]narchy- I hear h[C]obos on the r[Am]ailroad
I hear [C]mutterings on the [Am]chain-gangs
It was t[F]hose men who b[C]uilt the [Dm]roads
And if you [C]put it all to[Am]gether
You [C]didnâ??t even once[Am] relent
[F]You [C]cast a Long [Dm]Shadow
[F]And that [G]is your te[Am]stament
[F]Somewh[C]ere in my s[Dm]oul, thereâ??s always Rock an[C]d Roll
