Checkpoint Charlie

VERSE 1
A augmentedA   D MajorD  A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
I had a dream I was in New Orleans
E MajorE D MajorD    A augmentedA
Maybe it was heaven
A augmentedA  D MajorD      A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
All I know I wasn't lonesome anymore
E MajorE   D MajorD         A augmentedA
And the saints were marching in

VERSE 2
Then I met a man chiseled from stone
Shared my table at the square
Maybe it was Jesus, maybe Iggy Pop
We smoked my last cigarette

CHORUS 1
A augmentedA      D MajorD  A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
What does it matter heaven or the latter
E MajorE      D MajorD        A augmentedA
“I'll pay the tab” said the Nazarene
A augmentedA           D MajorD A augmentedA      F# minorF#m
We can take all you've got good times or not
E MajorE      D MajorD       A augmentedA
With Iggy and Jesus in New Orleans

VERSE 3
It was daybreak way out on the levee
Iggy is playing washtub in three-quarter time
Down by the river I heard some clawhammer banjo
Me and Jesus went fishing

CHORUS 2
What does it matter the Bayou or El Paso
“I'll pay the tab” said the Nazarene
High as a fruit bat in Napa Valley
With Iggy and Jesus in New Orleans

VERSE 4
Was it purgatory, was it Checkpoint Charlie's
I decided I was staying forever
That ol' morning sun maybe it was voodoo
