Chords with lyrics

I'm pretty sure this is right, just play around with the picking. I'm not sure
what the G/C chord is called but here's how I play it...

Capo on 7th


Intro
C/GC/G - Just pick the second then the first strings

   FF			      C majorC
Well tonight's the night when the waters rise

    C majorC    C/Am  FF
You're groping in the dark

  A minorAm                  G/C
The ticket takers count the men who can afford the ark

  FF       C majorC
The ticket takers will not board

    C majorC   C/Am    FF
For the ticket takers are tied

  A minorAm        FF
For five and change an hour

     G/C        C majorC
They will count the passers by

They say the sky's the limit
But the sky's about to fall
Down come all them record books cradle and all
They say before he bit it
That the boxer felt no pain
But somewhere there's a gamblin' man
With a ticket in the rain

FF  C majorC    G/C       C majorC
Mary Anne, I know I'm a long shot

  FF  C majorC        G/C
But Mary Anne, what else have you got

 FF      C majorC      C majorC   C/Am  FF
I am a ticket taker, many tickets have I torn

  A minorAm       FF      G/C       C majorC
And I will be your ark, we will float above the storm

Many years have passed in this river town
I've sailed through many traps
I keep a stock of weapons should society collapse
I keep a stock of amo
One of oil and one of gold
I keep a place for Mary Anne
Soon she will come home
