[Verse 1]
[Am]When I light a smoke
and [E]think back [Dm]now to when h[E]e died
It's funny how [Dm]time has
justified his [Am]memory
[Dm]Way back then we knew his
name was Trouble
[C]But when it came,
we [Dm]all knew where [Bdim]he'd more than likely be[E]
The copper[Dm]s chased him up a track that took them
round [E]the back of a shack that shook each time
[Dm]the northbound train rolled in[Am]to view
An[Dm]d there alone between
the cranks and back[C]fires
of a Norton Manx
he [Dm]told them life [Bdim]is good,
[E]no thanks to [A]you
And for [Dm]anyone more cynical
than those [E]of us who knew him as he lived,
[C]each episode was[Am] all too typical.
[D]It was[Dm] easy to fold the page
and say another [C]jerk, another gun,
[Em]an other m[Dm]ore.[E][Dm]
[E]But [Dm]when I draw a line
that goes back [C]through the way he died,
who knows, [Bdim]I don't
see no [E]reason at [A]all.
His [Am]mother never reconciled with anyone
[E]and he grew wild
and [Dm]each parole was just a chance to reload
[Am]Ah, [A]but [Dm]did we love his crooked smile
the [C]way he left the coppers all beguiled
as [Bdim]he headed out to straighten
out the south gate [E]road.
Now the [Dm]towies told us later he was airborne
[E]when he hit the tree with a
[Dm]blood alcohol of 1 .7 [Am]or more.[A]
[Am]Now they'd n[Dm]ever seen
a body spread so far
[C]Between his pretty head
an[Bdim]d his Cuban heel
Rid[E]ing boots [A]before
And [Dm]later on the nondescript
and tilted [E]stones
The eucalypts all [C]soaking in the rain
And it [D]ought to be so easy
[Dm]Even now to say who else was there
[C]As he was lowered down that [Bdim]hole[E]
If you [Dm]ask me why these things
should prey upon [C]me now
I guess I'd try to say [Bdim]there
ain't no [E]reason at [A]all
But on [Bm]lonely nights I sit and stare
[F#]across the living fields
To where the [Em]northbound train
still runs [Bm]bey ond the bay
And [Em]some nights I could swear
I see his grey [D]eyes staring back at me
From [C#dim]where the moonlight
burns across the [F#]rails
I know [Em]that's crap, the kind of thing
The [F#]moonlight and the silence
bring [Em]to tease and entertain
the tired [Bm]mind.
It's just to the [Em]rest of us
he represented life
[D]in all its youthful scented [C#dim]glory.
[F#]And he left us all behin[Bm]d.
I love this [Em]world, this pretty [F#]scene
Painted on [D]its own, rice paper screen
[E]That's not to say
[Em]I'd never dream of breaking through
[Bm]So easy to t[C#]he other side
[C#dim]so close I can hear it call[F#]
When [Em]I feel that way
I got no [D]reason to do anything or not
[C#dim]There ain't no rea[F#]son at all[Bm]
Yeah, when [Em]I get that way
I got no [D]reason to do anything or not
[C#dim]There ain't no rea[F#]son at all[Bm].[Em]
[D][Bm][F#][C#dim][F#]
