Intro 1
(C major)
Verse 1
Bare skin (C major) is my wrinkled sack,
when hot Apollo pumps my back.
When Jack Frost grabs
me in these rags,
I wrap my legs with burlap bags.
My flesh is cinder, my face is snow,
I walk the railroad to and fro.
When city streets are black and dead,
the railroad embankment is my bed.
I sup my (D major) soup from old (E flatdim) (E flat minor) tin (B major) cans,
And take my sweets from little hands.
(G major) In Tiger Al (C major) ley, (D sharp minor) near the jail,
I (A flat major) steal (A flat minor) away (B major) from (D major) the garbage (A major) pail.
(D major) In (C major) darkest night,
where none can see down
In the bowels of the factory,
I sneak barefoot upon stone
Come and (F major) (C major) hear the old man groan (A major) (D major)
(B major) I hide and wait like a (C major) naked (D major) child (E flat major)
(B major) Un (G major) der the bridge my
heart goes (E flat major) wild (E flat minor)
(B flat major) I scream (B major) at (D major) a fire (A major) on the riverbank
I give my body (C major) to an old gas tank (A major) (C major)
I dream that I have burning hair,
boiled arms that claw the air,
the torso of an iron king,
and on my back a broken wing,
who'll go out whoring into the
night on the eyeless road
in the skinny moonlight.
Nay, nor dowd, or athlete proud,
nay, wanton with me in the shroud.
Oh, come lie down in the dark with me,
belly to belly and knee (F major) to (C major) knee. (A major)
(C major) Oh, look into my wooded (F major) eye.
Oh, lie down under (F major) my darkened
thigh. (C major) (B major) (C major) (C major)
You
The Shrouded Stranger
