D
If I had some poet?s wings
G D
I would fly to New Orleans
D
I?d rhyme my trials and my misdeeds
G D
So if you cut the words they would bleed
Chorus 1:
G D
And in the night when I?m all alone
G D
And the sadness goes to the bone
G D
I?d make the words in the refrain
G D
As lethal as the knives of Spain
If I had some black cat?s bones
I?d take the things down to Antone?s
Then I?d steal what I really need
I?d take it home and I?d let it bleed
Chorus 2:
And in the night when I?m by myself
I?d take what it was down from the shelf
When I find the words in the refrain
As lethal as the knives of Spain
If I had some grains of faith
Well I?d keep ?em where they were safe
Then I would not disbelieve
Be corrupted or deceived
Chorus 3:
And in the night when no one?s around
I would kneel down upon the ground
When I find the words in the refrain
As lethal as the knives of Spain.
Chorus 3
