Artist: John Prine Album: Diamonds in the Rough Year: 1972
GG7 Black faces pressed against the glass CG Where rain has pressed it's weight GG7 Wind blown scarves in top down cars AD All share one western trait CDG Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks B7C From winos to dime-store Jews CB/CG Probably don't know they give me D7G These late John Garfield blues
GG7 Midnight fell on Franklin Street CG And the lamppost bulbs were broke GG7 For the life of me, I could not see AD But I heard a brand new joke CDG Two men were standing upon a bridge B7C One jumped and screamed you lose CB/CG And just left the odd man holding D7G 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
GG7 I'm going away to the last resort CG In week or two real soon GG7 Where the fish don't bite but once a night AD By the cold light of the moon CDG The horses scream the nightmares dream B7C And the dead men all wear shoes CB/CG Cause everybody's dancin D7G Those late John Garfield blues
