Mexican War Streets Revisited chords by MewithoutYou

Intro:
Dm


Verse 1:

Dm
Though by the path I lead The passing of time and the pouring of tea

Bb       F    C
Are all I've lately seen

Dm
Until our temporal bridge be burned Until our anchor stocks hold firm

Bb                F       C
Where the hands of clocks don't turn, O my soul

Dm
May our lips remain discreet While your traps are beneath our feet--

    Bb        F     C
but how long before our tails are caught

       Dm
by our "free" thought?


Chorus:

Bb         C   Bb
Sugar in the cane, candles low

Gm        F       Gm   F
Kettle low on the flame for the teapot? No

Bb         C   Bb Dm
Sugar in the cane, candles low


Verse 2:

   F
On the Streets of Mexican Wars

         Eb
I battle with the memory of a first fight

    F
In our contemptible youth, quoted White Nights

     Eb
Thinking I’d get rid of you, Waited with a stone in my hand

               Bb
but you were right and Nature had another plan

          Dm
Nature had another plan


Chorus:

Bb         C    Bb
Sugar in the cane, candles low

    Gm    F       Gm     F
On the West End Bridge looking down at the Ohio

Bb         C    Bb
Sugar in the cane, candles low

  Gm      F       Gm    F
You panic like a mouse when the lights go on

Bb         Dm
Sugar in the cane, candles low
