The Days Of Pearly Spencer

(início)

Cm
VERSE 1
  Cm
A tenement, a dirty street
Bb
Walked and worn by shoeless feet
  Cm
Inside it's long and so complete
Eb                     Bb
Watched by a shivering sun
Cm
Old eyes in a small child's face
Bb
Watching as the shadows race
        Cm
Through walls and cracks that leave no trace
    Eb                    Bb
And daylight's brightness shun.
CHORUS
Fm   Gm                       Cm
           The days of Pearly Spencer
    Fm  Gm                     Cm
Ahh Ahh Ahh The race is almost run
VERSE 2
Cm
Nose pressed hard on frosted glass
Bb
Gazing at the swollen mass
   Cm
On concrete fields where grows no grass
Eb               Bb
Stumbles blindly on
Cm
Iron trees smother the air
    Bb
But withering, they stand and stare
        Cm
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Eb                  Bb
Where the grass has gone
CHORUS
Fm   Gm                       Cm
           The days of Pearly Spencer
    Fm  Gm                     Cm
Ahh Ahh Ahh The race is almost run
C#m
VERSE 3
C#m
Pearly where's your milk white skin
B
What's that stubble on your chin
     C#m
It's buried in the rot gut gin
    E                   B
You played and lost not won
    C#m
You played a house that can't be beat
    B
Now look your head's bowed in defeat
    C#m
You walked too far along the street
      E             B
Where only rats can run
CHORUS (4x)
F#m   G#m                       C#m
             The days of Pearly Spencer
    F#m G#m                    C#m
Ahh Ahh Ahh The race is almost run
