A D C G
VERSE: 0:24- 1:09
A D C
"Joliet," she says, "is the darkest part of a man..."
G
It's angry and slick
A D C
into those letters writes through herself each time
G
that she thinks of him
A D C
Trips her way down south, into mystery's mouth
G
and he follows her there
A D C
It's what she doesn't say that makes you want to stay
G
and try to comfort her
Chorus: 1:10- 1:32
D* C* B*
I talked to the cousins of people who knew you
D* C* B*
I asked them the questions they expected to hear, like
D* C* B*
maybe a killing went down in your town
A
maybe it's the prison or the birth of barbed wire
1:33- 1:44
A D C G
Verse: 1:45- 2:30
A D C
"Joliet," she says, "is the darkest part of a man..."
G
It's shaped like liberty's bell
A D C
it's cracked and common law, stretched out over it's flaws
G
just like an ink-less well
A D C
The hanging judge in town records her comments down
G
she saves the crowd the truth
A D C
and deals with it herself, fills that hollow well,
G
with nothing left to prove
Chorus: 2:31- 2:53
D* C* B*
I talked to the mountains and streams that pushed through there
D* C* B*
I talked to the trees that had no fruit to bear
D* C* B*
to the colorless people that sat there beneath her
A
curled up and stared
