I Walk With A Cane Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Started feeling sick around
[G]Spokane
Checked in a motel and wept
[Dm]I kept having dreams about
the scenes that I'd seen
[F]Kicked through the sheets while I slept

[Verse 2]
[C]The fourth morning surprised
by the [G]sunrise
Blackouts edged by the blue
[Dm]Before I took my stuff up to the station
[F]I stuck a stone in my shoe
[C]To remind me of you

[Verse 3]
[Bb]Took the book from the bed stand
[F]Started reading whe[C]rever[F]
[Bb]Daniel's still there in the lion's den
[C]Danny you might be there forever

[Verse 4]
[C]I t[Em]ook my refuge in Bellevue
With an [G]angel that agreed I was blameless.
[Dm]But I still have marks from
the teeth of the sharks
[F]That spring we spent completely painless

[Verse 5]
[C]I thought that maybe the service
[G]Would teach me how to save lives
But [Dm]mostly I learned how
to buckle my buttons.
And how [F]the difference
between dead and alive
Is just a [C]look in your eye
[F]

[Verse 6]
[Bb]
One glance at this [F]bedding
I could tell it knew struggle
[Bb]Sat at the table and took off my boots
[C]Tried to shake out the trouble
Tried to shake out the trouble

[Verse 7]
I'm [F]sorry about [Am]the way that [Bb]it ended[C]
I'm [F]sorry that you nev
[Am]er got fam[Bb]ous[C]
You were one [F]of many mar
[Am]tyrs [Bb]that never got credit
[C]For the[F] spring we spent comple[Am]tely
pain[Bb]less[C]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Ebm][Em][Dm]

[Verse 8]
[C]Daniel Green was a friend of mine
I met [G]him in a barroom in Venice
Said he'd [Dm]acted as a doctor in
a show about a hospital
[F]Until the studio turned against him

[Verse 9]
[Em]Drove up the coast in his Cutlass.
Said [G]it was too hot in LA
[Dm]We ran out of road up in Washington State.
He [F]ran out of rope around May
[C]

[Verse 10]
[Bb]Dragged him into the batht[F]ub
Let loose the cold water.
On the [Bb]way out the door I went
through his pockets
[C]Mingled our money together
Mingled our money together

[Verse 11]
I'm [F]sorry that I left [Am]so a[Bb]bruptly
[C]I'm sor[F]ry but I really had[Am] to run[Bb][C]
[F]The paramedics usually [Am]know ex
[Bb]actly what they're [C]doing
If there's [F]something to be
[Am]done[Bb][C]
[F]The stone in my shoe [Am]just
[Bb]reminds [C]me
We're all [F]born with ori[Am]ginal [Bb]sin[C]
I'm limp[F]ing up the [Am]street [Bb]in Spokane towards
the sta[C]tion Re[F]membering [Am]him[Bb][C]

[Verse 12]
[F]The stone in my shoe
[Am]just [Bb]reminds [C]me
[F]Daniel was [Am]a beautiful [Bb]friend[C]
It's [F]really hard to [Am]walk when
[Bb]you're carrying this [C]cross
To re[F]mind you of your greatest [Bb]sins
I [C]walk with [F]a cane

[Verse 13]
[Am]now[Bb]
I [C]walk with [F]a cane[Am][Bb]
[C]I keep a s[F]tone in my shoe
[Am]to remin[Bb]d me of you
[F]Now I walk with a c[Bb]ane
Now [C]I walk with [F]a cane
