Martin's Song
The Jayhawks


from "Hollywood Town Hall" (American Recordings, 1992)
transcribed by John Davidson and someone else who deserves
credit...can't remember who that was...

Intro

G Am D Am x2

Verse 1

G         Am             D               G
He's only six years old, that ...
G                 Am              D                      G
Put him down in a great big hole, I'm ...
G                 Am                  D                       G
See the buildings rise up to the sky, ...
G                     Am          D                      G
You'd best watch your record son, ...

Chorus
G                 D
I've been ...
C                   G
I go along ....
G              D
Ain't got much ...
C                   Am7                     G
Got the time ahead, I ....


Smoke and lightning, ...

Repeat chorus



        The above is the "Hollywood Town Hall" version, on "Blue Earth"
the second verse is slightly different, some of the lyrics are
difficult to make out but I think it is the following :-

Smoke and lightning, dressed to kill.
Don't talk to strangers, girl take the pill
Forty years of Sun death, acid rain is falling on my head.
Bush raids on the rise, doctors working overtime.
Too much of a good thing is not enough, stepping stones, building
blocks.
