Here's Marysville easy guitar chords by
Allen Ginsberg
Allen Ginsberg

N/A
Verse 1
Em

Here's Maryville,

a black railroad engine

in the children's park at rest,

and the track crossing with
G

cotton -belt flat cars
Em

carrying autos west from Dallas, Delaware

and Hudson gondolas filled with power stuff,
Bm
Em

a line of boxcars far east as I can see
C

carrying battle goods to cross the Rockies
Em

into the hands of rich longshoremen

loading ships on the Pacific, Oakland, Harmony,
C
Em
E

Terminal, Lights, Blue, Illumined all night now.
Em

Crash of couplings
G
C

and the great American train moves on carrying
Em

its cushioned load of metal doom.
G

Union Pacific linked together
Em

with your Hoosier line,

followed by passive Wabash
C

rolling behind.
Em

All eerie, carrying cargo in the rear,

Bm

Central Georgia's rust -colored
Em

truck

proclaiming the right way,

concluding the awesome poem
Bm
Em

written by the train across northern Kansas,


land which gave right of way

to the massing of metal

meant for explosion in Indochina.
G

Passing through Waterville,

electric machinery
C

and the bus humming with prophecy,
G
D
Em

paper signs blowing in cold wind,
G#dim

mid -Sunday's afternoon silence in town,
E
C

under a frost -gray sky

that covers the horizon,
Em

that the rest of Earth is unseen,

an outer universe invisible, unknown,
Am

except through language,
Em

air print, magic images,
G

or prophecy of the secret heart
Bm

the same in Waterville as Saigon,
Em
E

one human form.

When a woman's heart bursts
Em

in Wa terville,

a woman screams equal in Hanoi.

On to Wichita to prophesy,

Oh, frightful bard,
G

into the heart of the vortex,

where anxiety rings the university
D
Em

with million air pressure.

Lonely, cranked telephone voices
C

sighing in dread.
Em

And students,
Em

waken, trembling in their beds
Em

with dreams of a new truth,
D

warm as meat.

Little girls suspecting their elders of
Em

murder committed by remote con trol machinery.

Boys with sexual bellies aroused,
D
C

chilled in the heart by the mailman with a letter from an aging,

white -haired general,
Em

director of selection for

service in death war.
Em
C

Oh, this black language written by machine.

Oh, hopeless fathers

and teachers in Hue.

Do you know the same woe,
C

too?

Turn light and enjoy effects

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
