Verse 1
(E minor) The (D major) (C major) ragamuffin gunner
is re (D major) turnin' home (B minor)
(D major) Like a hungry (G major) runaway (B minor)
He walks (C major) through town all alone (D major)
"He must be from the fort"
(G major) He hears the high school girls (B minor) say
His (D major) countryside's burnin'
With wolfman fairies dressed
in drag (E minor) for homicide
(B minor) The hit- (C major) and- run plead
sanc (D major) tuary
'Neath a (G major) holy stone they hide (B minor)
They're breakin' (C major) beams and crosses (D major)
With a (G major) spastic's reelin' per (B minor) fection
(C major) Nuns run bald through Vatic (D major) an halls
Pregnant,
(G major) pleadin' immaculate concep (B minor) tion
And (D major) everybody's wrecked
on Main Street
From drink (E minor) ing unholy blood (B minor)
Stick (C major) er smiles sweet
as Gunner (D major) breathes deep
His (C major) ankles caked (B minor) in (E minor) mud (D major)
And I said, (E minor) "Hey, (C major) gunner (D major) man,
that's (E minor) quicksand
That's (C major) quicksand, (D major) that ain't mud (E minor)
Have you thrown (C major) your senses (D major) to (E minor) the war
Or did you (C major) lose them in (D major)
the flood?"
(E minor) (D major)
Verse 2
That pure (C major) American brother, (D major)
dull- eyed (G major) and empty- faced (B minor)
Races (C major) Sundays in Jersey (D major) in
a Chevy (G major) stock super eight (B minor)
He rides (D major) 'er low on the hip
On the side he's got (C major) "Bound for Glory" (D major)
In red, (E minor) white and blue flash (B minor) paint
He leans (C major) on the hood telling
racing (D major) stories
The kids (C major) call him Jimmy (B minor) the Saint (E minor) (D major)
Well, that blaze- (E minor) and- noise boy
He's (G major) gunnin' that bitch loaded (A minor)
to blastin' point (E minor)
He rides head first into a hur (G major) ricane
and disap (A minor) pears into a point (E minor)
And there's noth (D major) in' left
But some blood where the body fell
(C major) That is, noth (E minor) in' left that
you could sell (B minor)
Just junk (C major) all across the hori (D major) zon
A real highway (C major) man's (B minor)
farewell (E minor) (D major) (E minor)
And I said, "Hey (C major) kid,
you think (D major) that's oil? (E minor)
Man, that (C major) ain't oil, (D major) that's blood" (E minor)
I wonder (C major) what he was think (D major) ing
When he hit that (E minor) storm
Or (C major) was he just lost (D major) in
the flood?
(E minor) (A minor) (D major) (E minor)

Verse 3
Eighth Av (C major) enue sailors in satin (D major)
shirts (G major) whisper in the air (B minor)
Some (C major) storefront incarna
(D major) tion of Maria
She's put (G major) tin' on me the stare (B minor)
And (D major) Bronx's best apostle
Stands (C major) with (D major) his hand (E minor) on his
own hardware (B minor)
Everything (C major) stops,
you hear five (D major) quick shots
The cops (C major) come up (B minor) for air (E minor)
And now the whiz- bang gang
from up (G major) town
They're shoot (A minor) in' up the street (E minor)
Oh, that cat from the Bronx
starts (G major) lettin' loose
But he gets blown (A minor) right off his feet (E minor)
Oh, and some kid (D major) comes
blastin' 'round the corner
But a cop (E minor) puts him right away (B minor)
He lays (C major) on the street holding his leg
Screaming (D major) something in Spanish
Still (C major) breathing when I (B minor) walked away (E minor)
And someone said, "Hey (C major) man,
did (D major) you see that? (E minor)
His body hit the street (C major) with such
a (D major) beautiful thud" (E minor)
I won (C major) der what the dude (D major) was sayin'
(E minor) Or was (C major) he just (D major) lost in the (E minor) flood?
Hey (C major) man, (D major) did you see that? (E minor)
Those poor (C major) cats are sure (D major) messed up
(E minor) I won (C major) der what they (D major) were gettin' (E minor) into
Or were (C major) they all just (D major) lost in the (E minor) flood? (A minor) (D major)
