*from 'Rain Dogs' (1985)*


*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: C minorCm)


Intro:

FF (x2)

Verse 1:

FF
 Broken glass, rusty nails,
     E7E7
Where the wild violets grow.
     FF
Say good-bye to the railroad,
  FF
The mad dogs of summer,
  A minorAm
And every-thing that I know.

Chorus 1:

   A minorAm
What some men will do here for diamonds,
   A minorAm
What some men will do here for gold.
A minorAm
 They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing,
  E7E7
And sleep by the side of the road.

Bridge 1:

     DmDm
There's a hole in the ladder, a fence we can climb,
            E7E7
Mad as a hatter; you're thin as a dime.
  DmDm
Go out to the meadow; the hills are a-green,
A minorAm
 Sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream.

Interlude:

FF (x2)

Verse 2:

FF
 Small-time Na-poleon's shattered his knees,
    E7E7
But he stays in the saddle for Rose.
  FF
And all his dis-ciples, they shave in the gutter,
     A minorAm
And they gather what's left of his clothes.

Chorus 2:

   A minorAm
What some men will do here for diamonds,
   A minorAm
What some men will do here for gold.
A minorAm
 They're wounded, but they just keep on climbing,
  E7E7
And sleep by the side of the road.
