The Late John Garfield Blues
John Prine 

Black fa[G]ces pressed agai[G7]nst the glass
Where r[C]ain has pressed it's w[G]eight
Wi[G]nd blown scarves in top down cars
All sh[A7]are one western tr[D7]ait
Sa[C]dness l[D]eaks through te[G]ar-stained cheeks
From [B7]winos to dime-store J[C]ews
Probably don't[C/B] know they give [G]me
These la[D7]te John Garfield bl[G]ues
[C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G]

M[G]idnight fell on Frank[G7]lin Street
And the [C]lamppost bulbs were br[G]oke
F[G]or the life of me, I could not see
But I h[A7]eard a brand new j[D7]oke
Two [C]men were s[D]tanding up[G]on a bridge
One j[B7]umped and screamed you l[C]ose
And just left the [C/B]odd man hol[G]ding
Those la[D7]te John Garfield bl[G]ues
[C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G]

[D]An old man sleeps with his conscience at night
[G]A young kid sleeps with his dreams
While the me[A7]ntally ill sit perfectly still
And live through life's in-be[D7]tweens

I'm[G] going away to the l[G7]ast resort
In w[C]eek or two real s[G]oon
Wh[G]ere the fish don't bite but once a night
By the [A7]cold light of the m[D7]oon
The [C]horses scre[D]am- the nigh[G]tmares dream
And th[B7]e dead men all wear sh[C]oes
'Cause [C/B]everybody's da[G]ncin'
Those la[D7]te John Garfield bl[G]ues
[C] [D] [G] [C] [D] [G]
