CALEXICO - The News About William


AM       C majorC          AM
4 in the morning the sidewalk's asleep
AM       C majorC
Dogs on the porch,
C majorC         G+G
Spiders on the leaf
G+G         DM         AM
Shipwrecked by night sailing through days
AM      E MajorE        AM
Nobody noticed the slipping away

AM       C majorC            AM
Connecting the dots with thorns in his side
AM         C majorC            G+G
Boarded up the Windows with pain and with pride
G+G          DM         AM
The music box broken that once was his soul
AM         E MajorE          AM
Its sad little song spinning out of control

G+G          C majorC            G+G
Then came the storm that washed the roads out
G+G          C majorC             G+G
Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south
G+G        DM         AM
Second line drums marched into the sea
AM         E MajorE         AM
While the clouds overhead cried "mutiny"
AM         E MajorE         AM
They parted for Cathy and her bitter news
AM         DM       AM
As her words fail and the sky grew dim
AM         E MajorE         AM
Recalled how close to that exit l've been

C majorC       AM  C majorC          AM
Ours not to reply, ours not to reason why
C majorC          G+G
The news about William
FF          C majorC
The lifeline retreats
FF        AM
Desire for release
AM
The thorns in his side
