Verse 1
(C major) There's a girl named Pearl
pumping premium (F major) off the (C major) Jersey Pike
With a smile like Dottie (D minor) Hepburn
if you (G major) know how to act right (E minor)
There's (D minor) last chance seekers
with out (G major) -of -state plates
Look (D minor) ing for a little piece of (G major) heaven
there around old (C major) Pearly's gates (F major)
And light (B flat major) lines split the morning
and made the (G major) sky (E minor) vibrate.
(C major) Now the dark dawn withered
as we (F major) glanced towards the
(C major) distant thunder.
There was a new sun rising,
but to (D minor) some just a famil (G major) iar wonder.
And then the (D minor) clouds exploded,
rain came (G major) with a crash,
Folks (D minor) traded for canoes (G major)
with their used Pon (C major) tiacs.
(F major) But most got refused, (B flat major)
there were too many stacks, (G major)
And the most confused
were the (E minor) ones left with (C major) Cadillacs. (E minor)
Now telephone poles spilt, split,
and spit out live sparks (B flat major) (E minor)
World trade centers collided
down into Needle Park
Pyramids and palaces
were likewise bound to fall
No long -standing landmark
was even half -recognizable at all (C major)
Yet the old (F major) house still stands,
but (C major) now it's shifted to a tilt
You can still see the water line
(D minor) from when the (G major) river spilled
(E minor) Over (D minor) the banks and (G major) into the valley,
down (D minor) through town and right (G major) up my alley
It (C major) could have been the end,
or just (F major) time to clean (B flat major) it up again. (G major)
Cleaning it up again. (C major)
Well, when shorelines (G major) change, (C major)
(G major) will (F minor) beaches still resist
the (F major) pounding waves? (C major)
Will preachers still persist,
(D minor) or no one (G major) have a whole
lot to say? (D minor)
Even when the mountains (G major) derange,
(D minor) I want to find you to see (G major)
That you're still (C major) around, (F major)
steadfast (B flat major) and relatively free
Outro 1
(G major) (C major) (A minor)
