Long Shadow by Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros
Long Shadow
Capo:no capo
Intro: Am
C F C G
Well I’ll tell you one thing that I know
C Am
You don’t face your demons down
C
You got to grab em jack
F G
And pin em to the ground
Am C
The Devil may care, and maybe God he won’t
Am C G
You better make sure you check on the Do’s and the Don’ts
C Am
Crawl up the Mountain
To reach where the Eagles fly
C Am
Sure you can glimpse from the mountaintop
F C Dm
Where the soul of the muse might rise.
C Am
And if you put it all together
C Am
You won’t have to look around
F C Dm
You know you cast
F Am
A Long Shadow On the Ground
C F C G
Then one day I could tell my tracks
C Am
By the holes in the soles of my shoes
C F
And that the day I said
G
I’m gonna make the news
C Am
And falling in the garden
C Am
Of days so long ago
C Am
Somewhere in the memory
F C Dm
The sun shines on you boy
C Am
Playing in the Arroyos
Where the American rivers flow
C Am
From the Appalachians
F C Dm
Down to the Delta Roads
C Am
A man can’t think so long
His brain could well explode
C Am
There’s trains running thru the junctions
F C Dm
A King comes down the road
C Am
And if you put it all together
C Am
You won’t have to look around
F C Dm
You know you cast
F Am
A Long Shadow On the Ground
G
Listen to the Country- The Night Jar and the Bell
G
Listen to the Night Streamliner
G
Sounding like the wolves of Hell
C Am
Head for the water- the water of the cleansing spell
C Am
It was always are destination
F C Dm
On the express of the Ne’er Do Wells
C Am
And we rock thru Madison City
C Am
And we didn’t even know she was there
C Am
And when we hit the Buffers in Memphis
F C Dm
And Beale street didn’t have no prayer
C Am C Am
I hear punks talk of anarchy- I hear hobos on the railroad
C Am
I hear mutterings on the chain-gangs
F C Dm
It was those men who built the roads
C Am
And if you put it all together
C Am
You didn’t even once relent
F C Dm
You cast a Long Shadow
F G Am
And that is your testament
F C Dm C
Somewhere in my soul, there’s always Rock and Roll
