April The 14th Part 1 - Gillian Welch / David Rawlings
Time (The Revelator) - song 5
CAPO I OR II (LIVE)
Intro: Bm Am C G (Bazan version Em Dm F C (G) (Am))
(Bm) When the iceberg hit, oh they (Am) must have known,
That (C) God moves on the water like (G) Casey Jones.
(Bm) So I walked downtown on (Am) my telephone,
And (C) took a lazy turn through the (G) redeye zone (D)
It was a (Bm) five-band bill, (Am) a two-dollar show.
I saw the (C) van out in front from (G) Idaho,
And the (Bm) girl passed out in the (Am) backseat trash
There was (C) no way they'd make even a (G) half a tank of gas (D)
(Bm) They looked sick and stoned and (Am) strangely dressed.
And (C) no one showed from the (G) local press.
But I (Bm) watched them walk (Am) through the bottom land,
And I (C) wished I played in a (Em) rock & roll band (C) (D)
Break: Am C G D
(Am) Hey, (C) hey,
(G) It was the fourteenth (D) day of (Am) April (C) (G)
(Bm) Well they closed it down, with the (Am) sails in rags.
And they (C) swept up the fags and the (G) local rags.
And (Bm) threw the plastic cups into (Am) plastic bags,
And the (C) cooks cleaned the kitchen
With the (Em) staggers and the (C) jags (D)
Break: Am C G D Am C G
Ruin(Bm)ation day, and the (Am) sky was red.
I (C) went back to work, (G) And back to bed.
(Bm) And the iceberg broke, and the (Am) Okies fled,
And the (C) Great Emancipator
Took a (G) bullet in the back of the (D) head...
(Am) Hey, (C) It was the fourteenth (G)day
