Port Of Morrow

Chords
pin

Dm              A
Through the rain and all the clatter
F           C        G
Under the Fremont bridge I saw a pigeon fly
Dm            F              C                 A
Fly in fear from the raptor come to take its life

Dm               A
And as it closed in for the capture
F     C          G
I funnelled the fear through my ancient eyes

Dm              F
To see in flight, what I know are
     C                    A
The bitter mechanics of life


F         G                    E             F
Under my hat it reads "the lines are all imagined" 
F           G             E                   Am
A fact of life I know to hide from my little girls
F           G                E                 F
I know my place amongst the bugs and all the animals
F                      E
And it's from these ordinary people
            F            G
You are longing to be free

Dm         A
My hotel and on the TV
F    C           G
A preacher on the stage like a buzzard cries
Dm             F                      C               A
Our a warning of phony sorrow. He's trying to get a rise.

Dm          A
The cyanide of an almond
F        C             G
Let him look at your hands, get the angles right
Dm               F              C                  A
Ace of spades, Port of Morrow, life is death is life.


F           G          E          F
I saw a photograph; Cologne in ?27
F           G                E        Am
And then a postcard after the bombs in ?45
F                 G             E                   F
Must have been a world of evil clowns that let it happen
F            E           
But now I recognise, dear listeners,
               F               G
That you were there and so was I
