[E][F][G][Dm]

[Verse 1]
Through the [A]rain and all the clatter
[F]Under the[C] Fremont bri[G]dge
I saw a pigeon [Dm]fly
Fly in [F]fear from the [C]raptor come
to take its life
[A]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
And as it [A]closed in for the capture
[F]I f[C]unneled the f[G]ear through
my ancient eyes
[Dm]To see in flight,
[F]what I know are the bit[C]ter mechanics of life
[A]

[Verse 3]
[F]
Under my [G]hat it reads "The
[E]lines [C]are [G]all ima[F]gined"
A fact of [G]life I know to [E]hide
from my little [Am]girls[C][F]
I know my [G]place amongst the
[E]bugs and [C]all the [F]an imals
And it's from these [E]ordinary people
you [F]are longing to be free
[G]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
My [A]hotel and on the [F]TV
A [C]preacher on a [G]stage like
a buzzard [Dm]cries
Out a warning [F]of phony sorrow,
he's [C]trying to get a [A]rise

[Verse 5]
[Dm]The cyanide from[A] an almo[F]nd
Let him [C]look at your [G]hands,
get the angles [Dm]right
Ace of [F]spades, port of morrow,
[C]life is death is life
[A]

[Verse 6]
[F]
I [G]saw a photograph:
[E]Cologne [C]in [F]'27
And then a [G]postcard after the
[E]bombs [Am]in '[C]45[F]
Must've been [G]a world of evil
[E]clowns that [C]let it hap[F]pen

[Verse 7]
But now I [E]recognize, dear listeners
That you were [F]there and so was [G]I

[Interlude 1]
[G][Dm][F][Dm][C][A]
[Am][Dm][F][C][A][Dm][F][Dm][C]
[A][Dm][F][G][A][F]

[Verse 8]
Under my [G]hat I know the lines
[E]are all[C] ima[G]gin[F]ed
A fact of [G]life I must im
[E]press on my little [Am]girls[F]
I know my [G]place amongst the
[E]creatures [Em]in t[G]he pag[F]eant
And there are [E]flowers in the garbage, and [F]a skull under [G]your[Dm][F][Dm][Am][C][A][Dm][F]
[C][A][Dm][C][Am][Dm]
[F]cur[G]ls[A][Am][Dm][F][Dm]
