G G7
Black faces pressed against the glass
C G
Where rain has pressed it's weight
G G7
Wind blown scarves in top down cars
A D
All share one western trait
C D G
Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks
B7 C
From winos to dime-store Jews
C B/C G
Probably don't know they give me
D7 G
These late John Garfield blues

G G7
Midnight fell on Franklin Street
C G
And the lamppost bulbs were broke
G G7
For the life of me, I could not see
A D
But I heard a brand new joke
C D G
Two men were standing upon a bridge
B7 C
One jumped and screamed you lose
C B/C G
And just left the odd man holding
D7 G
Those late John Garfield blues

D
An old man sleeps with his conscience at night
G
Young kids sleep with their dreams
A
While the mentally ill sit perfectly still
D
And live through life's in-betweens

G G7
I'm going away to the last resort
C G
In week or two real soon
G G7
Where the fish don't bite but once a night
A D
By the cold light of the moon
C D G
The horses scream the nightmares dream
B7 C
And the dead men all wear shoes
C B/C G
Cause everybody's dancin
D7 G
Those late John Garfield blues
