Intro: D

snow laying all around
a collier cycles home
D A
from his night shift underground
past the silent pub
Em
primary school, workingmens club
on the road from the pithead
G
the churchyard packed
D
with mining dead
then beneath the bridge
he comes to a giant car
G
a shroud of snow upon the roof
D A
a mark ten jaguar
he thought the man was fast asleep
Em
silent, still and deep
both dead and cold
G
shot through
D G7M
with bullet holes
the one armed bandit man
D
came north to fill his boots
came up from cockneyland
G7M
e-type jags and flashy suits
put your money in
pull the levers
D
watch them spin
cash cows in all the pubs
A
but he preferred the new nightclubs
nineteen sixty-seven
Bm
bandit men in birdcage heaven
la dolce vita, sixty-nine
G D A
all new to people of the tyne
D
who knows who did what
somebody made a call
G
they said his hands
were in the pot
D A
that he’d been skimming hauls
he picks up the swag
Em
they gaily gave away
drives his giant jag
G D G7M
off to his big pay day
the bandit man
D
came north to fill his boots
came up from cockneyland
G7M
e-type jags and flashy suits
the bandit man
D
came up the great north road
up to geordieland
to mine
A
the mother lode
A
D
seams blew up or cracked
G
black diamonds came hard won
generations toiled and hacked
D A
for a pittance and black lung
crushed by tub or stone
together
Em
and alone
how the young and old
G D A
paid the price of coal
eighteen sixty-seven
Bm
my angel’s gone to heaven
G
he’ll be happy there
D A
sunlight and sweet clean air
D
they gather round the glass
Bm
tough hewers and crutters
child trappers and putters
Em A Em
the little foals and half-marrows
who pushed
A Em
and pulled the barrows
the hod boys
G D
and the rolleywaymen
5.15 a.m.

Intro: Am
we’re taking on water
D
diesel and stores
G
laying up awhile
C
before i’m back on board
Am
they’re patching her up
D G
to go fishing again
Am
they’re welding her rudder

G
scars on her belly
C
need time to heal
Am
in the dock
B7
with the trawlermen
i know all the people
there’s nobody new
soon we’ll be leaving
with the same old crew
on the green water
the tumbling sea
they ain’t running
like the good old days
time’s just slipping
down the old slipways
in the dock
so dear to me

Em | B7 | F | Em
i could use a layoff
getting my strength back
but there’s a loan to pay off
and a few skipjack
so it’s a turnaround
back in the southerly wind
pirates coming in
to steal our gold
you can count yourself lucky
with a profit in the hold
in the dock
when we come in
dark is the night
i need a guiding light
to keep me
from foundering
on the rocks
my only prayer
is just to see you there
at the end
of my wandering
back in the dock
back to tupelo

C7M [x32000]
Am
around the time of ‘clambake’
movie number twenty-five
you and the lying dutchman
are still in overdrive
you’re as strong as when you started
mississippi in your soul
you can still be marlon brando
G Am
and the king of rock and roll
it isn’t just the records
no, you must have hollywood
the songs alone are not enough
that much is understood
you’ll soon be back in memphis
maybe then you’ll know what to do
the storylines they’re giving you
G Am Am/G
are just not ringing true
F Dm/F G C
oh, it’s a ways to go
F Dm/F G C7
back to tupelo
F Dm/F G C
oh, it’s a ways to go
F Dm/F G
back to tupelo
Dm | G | C7M | F
Dm | G | C7M | F
Dm | G
Am
when you’re young and beautiful
your dreams are all ideals
later on it’s not the same
lord, everything is real
sixteen hundred miles of highway
roll back to the truth
and a song to give your mother
in your first recording booth
around the time of ‘clambake’
that old dream’s still rolling on
sometimes there’ll be the feeling
things are going wrong
the morning star is fading
lord, the mississippi’s cold
you can still be marlon brando
and the king of rock and roll
but it’s a ways to go
back to tupelo

song for sonny liston
Capo: 4
Chords:
A5 [x022xx]
A7 [x05655]
Am6 [x04555]
A5
so many mouths
to feed on the farm
sonny was the second
to the last one born
his mamma ran away
and his daddy beat him bad
and he grew up wild
good love he never had
he had a left
like henry’s hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead
well he hung with the hoods
he wouldn’t stroke the fans
but he had dynamite
in both his hands
boom bam
like the slammer door
the bell and the can
and the bodies on the floor
beware the bear’s in town
somebody’s money says
the bear’s going down
yeah, the bear never smiles
A5/G
sonny’s going down
A5/F#
for miles and miles
A5/F
sonny’s going down
A5
for miles and miles
the writers didn’t like him
the fight game jocks
with his lowlife backers
and his hands like rocks
they didn’t want to have
a bogey man
they didn’t like him
and he didn’t like them
D5
black cadillac
alligator boots
A5
money in the pockets
of his sharkskin suits
A7
some say the bear
Am6
took a flop
A7
they couldn’t believe it
when they saw him drop
A5
he had a left
like henry’s hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead
joe louis was his hero
he tried to be the same
but a criminal child
wears a ball and chain
so the civil rights people
didn’t want him on the throne
and the hacks and the cops
wouldn’t leave him alone
beware the bear’s in town
somebody’s money says
the bear’s going down
yeah, the bear never smiles
sonny’s going down
for miles and miles
sonny’s going down
for miles and miles
at the foot of his bed
with his feet on the floor
there was dope in his veins
and a pistol on the drawer
there was no investigation
as such
he hated needles
but he knew too much
criss-crossed
on his back
scars from his daddy
like slavery tracks
the second-last child
was the second-last king
never again was it the same
in the ring
he had a left
like henry’s hammer
a right like betty bamalam
rode with the muggers
in the dark and dread
and all them sluggers
went down like lead
they never could be sure
about the day he was born
a motherless child
set to working on the farm
and they never could be sure
about the day he died
the bear was the king
they cast aside
beware the bear’s in town
somebody’s money says
the bear’s going down
yeah, the bear never smiles
sonny’s going down
for miles and miles
sonny’s going down
for miles and miles
