A Song For Tommy chords by Ron Pope

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
E minorEm
The joker rides the subway
            G+G
Stealing glances to his left
    C majorC
As the queen of diamonds sashays on
            G+G
In a brand new vintage dress
    B minorBm
And he swears he can recall her
    C majorC        G+G
From a hand he did not play
     G+G                 C majorC
But he's sure he probably don't know her at all
      G+G
So he looks away

Verse 2:
    E minorEm
He's a masochistic poet
           G+G
He's an angel without wings
    C majorC
He's an acrobat who gambles
          G+G
'Til he loses everything
    B minorBm
She's a sycophantic jester
    C majorC                G+G
She is all the things he'd like to push away
        G+G             C majorC
But somehow she knows the corners of his soul
          G+G
And makes him wanna stay


Chorus:
        C majorC
And he sings, "Oh Aphrodite
     E minorEm
Let your hair fall long
     G+G
I'll lay naked here beside you
           E minorEm
Whisper you a country song
            C majorC
That I heard out on the AM
                E minorEm
But I can't say I know all the words"


Verse 3:
E minorEm
The demon that's been chasing him
           G+G
Has finally bowed its head
     C majorC
And the sweet repose that comes with tasting freedom
         G+G
Is not far away I swear
     B minorBm
When the answer to your prayers is hanging inches
     C majorC           G+G
From your outstretched trembling hands
    G+G          C majorC
That's the time to mine the diamonds on the inside
              G+G
Let's just all breathe deep again
