Liberty Street chords by The New Basement Tapes

G                      F          C
He came from the old religion But possessed no magic skill
G               A                 D
Descending from machinery He left nothing in his will
G                     F                             C
The crops are failing The women wailing It's in the paper at your feet
    G                D            C               G
Six months in Kansas City Down on Liberty Street
           F                     C
It was sad to see it That little lady going in
G            A                 D
Arrested for arson Once they'd asked her where she'd been
G                 F                         C
Down on her knees Not even a breeze Another victim of the heat
    G                D            C               G
Six months in Kansas City Down on Liberty Street
G                          F               C
Things sure don't look too pretty 'Cause a man to rob and steal
        G                    A                 D
I got a full six more months out here Can't be begging for my meals
              G                   F
Now look here Baby Snooks Doesn't matter what books
         C
You keep underneath your seat
    G                D            C
