Verse 1:

F                     Bb
My lungs stone and my days all serpentine
    Dm                    C
The tight tightness in my chest rest and subsides
   F                    Bb
In one dull dawn with a hum that split its length
     Dm                        C
Does my name sting your tongue - now does it babe

Instrumental:

   F     Bb
Ah Ooo
   Dm    C
Ah Ooo
   F     Bb
Ah Ooo
   Dm    C
Ah Ooo

Verse 2:

    F                   Bb
Now your thin frame has set my eyes to fray
   Dm                      C
On our dim stretch of this street, how it aches
    F                  Bb
For every gray and sad - hemmed heart to coil
    Dm                       C
And our frail eyes and their whites to finally toll

Instrumental:

   F     Bb
Ah Ooo
   Dm    C

   F     Bb

   Dm    C                          (Play this after each Ooo of trumpet's melody)

Verse 3:

    F                      Bb
Now one brash phrase could crush this fragile day
   Dm                        C
As my thoughts swirl in some shrill sad cannonade
    F                    Bb
The one such spur - that caused my throat to creak
    Dm                      C
The one dull dawn that I've sentenced to repeat
