Rockefeller Druglaw Blues The Felice Brothers
This is "Rockefeller Druglaw Blues" by the Felice Brothers
On the three Rockefellers in the chorus, play a different chord each time (D, then A, the F#m)
[A]The exhaust from the p[E]rison vanā??s going to heaven
[D]But Iā??m going to[A] Attica
Gonna put a hundred miles
Between me and my dealing habit
Iā??m watching Poughkeepsie move by
In the afternoon rain
My hands are turning blue
[(F#m] [A)]
[A]I tried to [E]keep my job
[D]At the dollar s[A]tore
Found out my mama was sick and
A dollar wasnā??t enough anymore
I promise you mama,
Iā??m gonna get you them pills
I got me a box of bags
And a bakerā??s scale
Chorus:
[F#m]15 grams of [A]heroin
[F#m]An ounce of s[A]peed
[D]15 y[E]ears to l[A]ife
D, A, F#m
Rockefeller x3
[D]Thatā??s a long old[A] time
My brother was shot down on Warren St
A year ago tonight
Canā??t you see the medics with his body
In the siren light
I promise you, brother,
Iā??ma be a good dad
Iā??ma give our children something
Like we never had
Chorus
Twenty boys in orange clothes
In the jailhouse yard
Twenty needle marks
On the arms of God
500 picketers this morning
On the governorā??s lawn
50 white stars, my darling,
In the milky dawn
What fun.
